COL(1)              BSD General Commands Manual            COL(1)

NAME
     col -- filter reverse line feeds from input

SYNOPSIS
     col [-bfpx] [-l num]

DESCRIPTION
     Col filters out reverse (and half reverse) line feeds so the output is in
     the correct order with only forward and half forward line feeds, and
     replaces white-space characters with tabs where possible.    This can be
     useful in processing the output of nroff(1) and tbl(1).

     Col reads from standard input and writes to standard output.

     The options are as follows:

     -b        Do not output any backspaces, printing only the last character
        written to each column position.

     -f        Forward half line feeds are permitted (``fine'' mode).  Normally
        characters printed on a half line boundary are printed on the fol-
        lowing line.

     -p        Force unknown control sequences to be passed through unchanged.
        Normally, col will filter out any control sequences from the input
        other than those recognized and interpreted by itself, which are
        listed below.

     -x        Output multiple spaces instead of tabs.

     -lnum  Buffer at least num lines in memory.  By default, 128 lines are
        buffered.

     The control sequences for carriage motion that col understands and their
     decimal values are listed in the following table:

     ESC-7          reverse line feed (escape then 7)
     ESC-8          half reverse line feed (escape then 8)
     ESC-9          half forward line feed (escape then 9)
     backspace          moves back one column (8); ignored in the first column
     carriage return  (13)
     newline          forward line feed (10); also does carriage return
     shift in          shift to normal character set (15)
     shift out          shift to alternate character set (14)
     space          moves forward one column (32)
     tab          moves forward to next tab stop (9)
     vertical tab     reverse line feed (11)

     All unrecognized control characters and escape sequences are discarded.

     Col keeps track of the character set as characters are read and makes
     sure the character set is correct when they are output.

     If the input attempts to back up to the last flushed line, col will dis-
     play a warning message.

     -l option is an extension to the standard.
