unexpand - convert spaces to tabs

SYNOPSIS

unexpand [ OPTION ]... [ FILE ]...

DESCRIPTION

Convert blanks in each FILE to tabs, writing to standard output.

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-a , --all

convert all blanks, instead of just initial blanks

--first-only

convert only leading sequences of blanks (overrides -a )

-t , --tabs = N

have tabs N characters apart instead of 8 (enables -a )

-t , --tabs = LIST

use comma separated list of tab positions. The last specified position can be prefixed with ’/’ to specify a tab size to use after the last explicitly specified tab stop. Also a prefix of ’+’ can be used to align remaining tab stops relative to the last specified tab stop instead of the first column
