NAME
ssp - remove multiple line-feeds from output
SYNOPSIS
ssp
DESCRIPTION
ssp (single-space) removes redundant blank lines from the standard input and sends the result to the stan-
dard 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.
SEE ALSO
cat(1), rmnl(1).
