align-1.0.0: description + notes

align is a general-purpose text filter tool that helps vertically align columns in string-separated tables of input text. With whitespace-separated columns, you can often use it without arguments and it'll guess the right thing to do. Otherwise, you can specify arguments to direct how the columns are separated on input and rejoined in the aligned output.

Also included in this package is width, another general-purpose text filter tool that helps you work with the printing width or length of lines of input text. For example, it can print the width, location and/or content for its longest line or lines of input, or for all lines.

Type "align -h" or "width -h" for command line options. The align home page has more information.
