NAME
       expand - convert tabs to spaces


SYNOPSIS
       expand [OPTION]... [FILE]...


DESCRIPTION
       Convert tabs in each FILE to spaces, 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.

       -i, --initial
              do not convert tabs after non blanks

       -t, --tabs=N
              have tabs N characters apart, not 8

       -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

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit
