SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       shift_lines  is  a filter that adds or removes indentation on the left side of the lines sent through it.
       It reads text from stdin and writes the result to stdout. When adding indentation, it will  insert  space
       characters; when removing, it removes any characters, not just space.

       Please  note  that  shift_lines  is  intended  mainly to be run from XView's text menu. It is used in the
       default text_extras_menu.

OPTIONS

       -t num Specify number of characters to be added/removed on the left side of the  lines.   Default  is  1,
              negative numbers will remove the given amount of indentation.
