Its official page says it reads lines from standard input, detects common trailing characters, and aligns those trailers so they begin and end on the same text columns. ### Projektgeschichte The official tal page was created on 1997-05-04 and last updated on 1999-06-17 for version 1.9. It distributes source archives, DOS and Win32 ports, and documents Unix builds for systems including AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, OSF/1, SunOS 4, and SunOS 5. tal belongs to the late-1990s Unix filter tradition: one small program, standard input to standard output, a man page, and editor integration through shell filters. The page explicitly calls out Vim visual-mode mappings for running selected lines through `tal`. ### Adoptionsgeschichte Official sources do not show broad mainstream adoption, but they do show portability work and user requests around formatting tables and more complex trailer selection. Homebrew packaging preserves the tool for modern macOS users despite its older upstream page. ### Wie es verwendet wird Typical usage is to align closing comment tags, backslashes in C macro definitions, dots in index-like text, or status markers in a to-do list. The examples page demonstrates options for padding, target columns, case-insensitive matching, maximum line length, and trailer length. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Package nerds care about tal as a tiny, durable Unix text filter: public-domain style licensing, basic C portability, editor-friendly behavior, and a feature set narrow enough to remain useful decades later. It is the sort of small tool package managers keep alive because it composes well with editors and pipelines. ### Zeitleiste - 1997-05-04: Official tal page created. - 1997-11-30: Examples page created. - 1999-05-25: Examples page last updated. - 1999-06-17: Main page last updated for tal 1.9. ### Related projects - The official page points to Vim as a natural editor integration and to boxes, Thomas Jensen's related box-drawing filter. ### Quellen - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** tal - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Verwandte Links - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/de/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/de/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/de/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [glib](https://pkg.so/de/brew/glib/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [libdeflate](https://pkg.so/de/brew/libdeflate/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [hello](https://pkg.so/de/brew/hello/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [libdatrie](https://pkg.so/de/brew/libdatrie/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [ccache](https://pkg.so/de/brew/ccache/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [nspr](https://pkg.so/de/brew/nspr/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [cffi](https://pkg.so/de/brew/cffi/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [apr](https://pkg.so/de/brew/apr/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [dos2unix](https://pkg.so/de/brew/dos2unix/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
