3 /* Sensible version of fmt
4  *
5  * Syntax: fmt [ options ] [ goal [ max ] ] [ filename ... ]
6  *
7  * Since the documentation for the original fmt is so poor, here
8  * is an accurate description of what this one does. It's usually
9  * the same. The *mechanism* used may differ from that suggested
10  * here. Note that we are *not* entirely compatible with fmt,
11  * because fmt gets so many things wrong.
12  *
13  * 1. Tabs are expanded, assuming 8-space tab stops.
14  *    If the `-t <n>' option is given, we assume <n>-space
15  *    tab stops instead.
16  *    Trailing blanks are removed from all lines.
17  *    x\b == nothing, for any x other than \b.
18  *    Other control characters are simply stripped. This
19  *    includes \r.
20  * 2. Each line is split into leading whitespace and
21  *    everything else. Maximal consecutive sequences of
22  *    lines with the same leading whitespace are considered
23  *    to form paragraphs, except that a blank line is always
24  *    a paragraph to itself.
25  *    If the `-p' option is given then the first line of a
26  *    paragraph is permitted to have indentation different
27  *    from that of the other lines.
28  *    If the `-m' option is given then a line that looks
29  *    like a mail message header, if it is not immediately
30  *    preceded by a non-blank non-message-header line, is
31  *    taken to start a new paragraph, which also contains
32  *    any subsequent lines with non-empty leading whitespace.
33  *    Unless the `-n' option is given, lines beginning with
34  *    a . (dot) are not formatted.
35  * 3. The "everything else" is split into words; a word
36  *    includes its trailing whitespace, and a word at the
37  *    end of a line is deemed to be followed by a single
38  *    space, or two spaces if it ends with a sentence-end
39  *    character. (See the `-d' option for how to change that.)
40  *    If the `-s' option has been given, then a word's trailing
41  *    whitespace is replaced by what it would have had if it
42  *    had occurred at end of line.
43  * 4. Each paragraph is sent to standard output as follows.
44  *    We output the leading whitespace, and then enough words
45  *    to make the line length as near as possible to the goal
46  *    without exceeding the maximum. (If a single word would
47  *    exceed the maximum, we output that anyway.) Of course
48  *    the trailing whitespace of the last word is ignored.
49  *    We then emit a newline and start again if there are any
50  *    words left.
51  *    Note that for a blank line this translates as "We emit
52  *    a newline".
53  *    If the `-l <n>' option is given, then leading whitespace
54  *    is modified slightly: <n> spaces are replaced by a tab.
55  *    Indented paragraphs (see above under `-p') make matters
56  *    more complicated than this suggests. Actually every paragraph
57  *    has two `leading whitespace' values; the value for the first
58  *    line, and the value for the most recent line. (While processing
59  *    the first line, the two are equal. When `-p' has not been
60  *    given, they are always equal.) The leading whitespace
61  *    actually output is that of the first line (for the first
62  *    line of *output*) or that of the most recent line (for
63  *    all other lines of output).
64  *    When `-m' has been given, message header paragraphs are
65  *    taken as having first-leading-whitespace empty and
66  *    subsequent-leading-whitespace two spaces.
67  *
68  * Multiple input files are formatted one at a time, so that a file
69  * never ends in the middle of a line.
70  *
71  * There's an alternative mode of operation, invoked by giving
72  * the `-c' option. In that case we just center every line,
73  * and most of the other options are ignored. This should
74  * really be in a separate program, but we must stay compatible
75  * with old `fmt'.
76  *
77  * QUERY: Should `-m' also try to do the right thing with quoted text?
78  * QUERY: `-b' to treat backslashed whitespace as old `fmt' does?
79  * QUERY: Option meaning `never join lines'?
80  * QUERY: Option meaning `split in mid-word to avoid overlong lines'?
81  * (Those last two might not be useful, since we have `fold'.)
82  *
83  * Differences from old `fmt':
84  *
85  *   - We have many more options. Options that aren't understood
86  *     generate a lengthy usage message, rather than being
87  *     treated as filenames.
88  *   - Even with `-m', our handling of message headers is
89  *     significantly different. (And much better.)
90  *   - We don't treat `\ ' as non-word-breaking.
91  *   - Downward changes of indentation start new paragraphs
92  *     for us, as well as upward. (I think old `fmt' behaves
93  *     in the way it does in order to allow indented paragraphs,
94  *     but this is a broken way of making indented paragraphs
95  *     behave right.)
96  *   - Given the choice of going over or under |goal_length|
97  *     by the same amount, we go over; old `fmt' goes under.
98  *   - We treat `?' as ending a sentence, and not `:'. Old `fmt'
99  *     does the reverse.
100  *   - We return approved return codes. Old `fmt' returns
101  *     1 for some errors, and *the number of unopenable files*
102  *     when that was all that went wrong.
103  *   - We have fewer crashes and more helpful error messages.
104  *   - We don't turn spaces into tabs at starts of lines unless
105  *     specifically requested.
106  *   - New `fmt' is somewhat smaller and slightly faster than
107  *     old `fmt'.
108  *
109  * Bugs:
110  *
111  *   None known. There probably are some, though.
112  *
113  * Portability:
114  *
115  *   I believe this code to be pretty portable. It does require
116  *   that you have `getopt'. If you need to include "getopt.h"
117  *   for this (e.g., if your system didn't come with `getopt'
118  *   and you installed it yourself) then you should arrange for
119  *   NEED_getopt_h to be #defined.
120  *
121  *   Everything here should work OK even on nasty 16-bit
122  *   machines and nice 64-bit ones. However, it's only really
123  *   been tested on my FreeBSD machine. Your mileage may vary.
