# unexpand
> Convert spaces to tabs.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/unexpand-invocation.html>.
- Convert blanks in each file to tabs, writing to `stdout`:
`unexpand {{path/to/file}}`
- Convert blanks to tabs, reading from `stdout`:
`unexpand`
- Convert all blanks, instead of just initial blanks:
`unexpand {{[-a|--all]}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Convert only leading sequences of blanks (overrides -a):
`unexpand --first-only {{path/to/file}}`
- Have tabs a certain number of characters apart, not 8 (enables -a):
`unexpand {{[-t|--tabs]}} {{number}} {{path/to/file}}`
