NAME [Toc] [Back]
ssp - remove multiple line-feeds from output
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
ssp
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
ssp (single-space) removes redundant blank lines from the standard
input and sends the result to the standard output. All blank lines at
the beginning of a file are removed, and all multiple blank lines
elsewhere in the file (including end-of-file) are reduced to a single
blank line.
ssp is typically used in pipelines such as
nroff -ms file1 | ssp
ssp is equivalent to the 4.2BSD cat -s command.
To remove all blank lines from a file except at beginning of file, use
rmnl (see rmnl(1)). To remove all blank lines from a file including
beginning of file, use rmnl piped to ssp, or ssp piped to rmnl.
