Subject: cleanfile: a script to clean up stealth whitespace
From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>
This script cleans up various classes of stealth whitespace. In
particular, it cleans up:
- Whitespace (spaces or tabs)before newline;
- DOS line endings (CR before LF);
- Space before tab (spaces are deleted or converted to tabs);
- Empty lines at end of file.
