NAME
       expand - convert tabs to spaces

SYNOPSIS
       expand [-v] [-t tabs] [--] [file ... ]

       expand converts tabs in its input files to spaces and writes the result
       to the standard output.

OPTIONS
       -v     The -v option instructs expand to print its version  number  and
	      exit.

       -t tabs
	      The  -t  option  sets the number of spaces corresponding to each
	      tab stop to tabs.	 The default is 8 spaces.

       --     The -- (double dash) option indicates the end of options.

DESCRIPTION
       expand reads each file in turn, expanding tabs to spaces from each file
       in  turn,  and  writing the result to the standard output.  If no files
       are specified or a file is - (dash), expand  reads  from	 the  standard
       input.

       expand expects its input to be Unicode characters in utf(4) form.

EXAMPLES
       Convert tabs to spaces in file1 and write the results to file2:

	    expand file1 >file2
