unexpand - convert spaces to tabs
unexpand [OPTION]... [FILE]...
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
