rmb(M)
rmb --
remove extra blank lines from a file
Syntax
/usr/bin/rmb
Description
/usr/bin/rmb acts as a filter to remove any
series of blank lines greater than two lines in length.
This means that
long sequences of two or more blank lines are reduced
to one blank line.
This is particularly useful for cleaning nroff
output of blank lines before putting the output in a file.
Limitations
Because /usr/bin/rmb is
a filter, it must be used within a piped command sequence as shown
in the following examples:
cat infile | /usr/bin/rmb > outfile
nroff infile | /usr/bin/rmb > outfile
It cannot be used in the form /usr/bin/rmb filename.
