column: does '--fillrows' fill columns first?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

The man page of 'column' says that it fills rows before columns, and
for the option '--fillrows' it says that it then fills columns first.
(Seems like a very poor naming choice to me, but... okay.)  But then,
the help text says that '--fillrows' fills rows first.  The latter
seems to be correct, because '-x' never seems to have any effect.

So, how does one fill columns first?  Also: what is '-c' supposed to
do?  It doesn't seem to have any effect ever either.

Regards,

Benno
