+.Op Ar
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility formats its input into multiple columns.
+Each input line provides the text for one output cell.
+Columns are filled before rows.
+.Pp
+The column width is determined by the longest input line rounded
+up to the nearest tabstop; tabstops are assumed to be at multiples
+of eight.
+Output uses tab characters to advance to the next column.
+The number of columns is chosen to fill the terminal width.
+.Pp
+Input is taken from
+.Ar file
+operands or, by default, from the standard input.
+Empty lines and lines containing only whitespace are ignored.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl c Ar columns
+Output is formatted for a display
+.Ar columns
+wide.
+.It Fl s Ar sep
+Specify a set of characters to delimit columns for the
+.Fl t
+option.
+It defaults to space and tab.
+.It Fl t
+Table mode.
+Each input line provides the text for one output row.
+It is split into cells using the
+.Fl s
+option.
+Leading, trailing, and multiple adjacent delimiters are ignored.
+Each column is as wide as the widest cell in it.
+Columns are separated by two spaces.
+.It Fl x

+.Nm
+defaults to the terminal width, or 80 columns if the output is not a terminal.
+.It Ev LC_CTYPE
+The character encoding
+.Xr locale 1 .
+It decides which byte sequences form characters, what their display
+width is, and which characters are whitespace.
+If unset or set to
+.Qq C ,
+.Qq POSIX ,
+or an unsupported value, each byte except the tab is treated as a
+character of display width 1.
