# alignchar

```

$ ./alignchar --help

alignchar: For the given input file, for each line that ends in the target

           character (Default: '\'), align the target character to the

           target column position (Default: 80. First column is 1) using the

           fill character (Default: ' '). Non-matching lines, lines of

           length 2048 and greater, and lines where the target character

           falls on or after the target column position are unchanged.

Usage examples:

  alignchar [options] -i  -o 

  alignchar [options] -i  --in-place

An input file must be specified (-i or --input).

Either an output file must be specified (-o or --output)

    or --in-place must be specified meaning modify the input file.

Options may be given in any order.

Options:

  --help               Stop parsing options, print help, exit(0)

  --version            Stop parsing options, print version, exit(0)

  -i, --input    Specify input file (required)

  -o, --output   Specify output file

                       (mutually exclusive with --in-place)

                       Do NOT specify the same path as for input

                       (use --in-place instead)

  --in-place           Modify input file

                       (mutually exclusive with -o, --output)

  -c, --char     Specify the character to be aligned (Default: '\')

  -p, --position    Specify the column to align the character to

                       (Default: 80)

  -f, --fill     Specify the fill character (Default: ' ')

  -t, --tab-width   Specify tab width (Default: 4)

```

Only depends on the C99 standard library.  

Never dynamically allocates memory.  

May produce unexpected results:

- On non-ASCII files

- On files with CRLF line endings
