justify

...is a single purpose program for block justification of UTF-8 encoded monospace text.

Textual input is read from STDIN and written to STDOUT in its justified form. The default output width of 60 characters may be customized via --length. Optionally an offset of leading spaces may be defined using --offset.

i.e. echo "$the_paragraph_above" | justify --length 40 --offset 2 results in:

  Textual input  is  read from _STDIN_ and
  written  to  _STDOUT_  in  its justified
  form.  The  default output  width  of 60
  characters    may   be    customized via
  `--length`.  Optionally   an   offset of
  leading   spaces  may  be  defined using
  `--offset`.

The seed used to pseudorandomly distribute missing spaces may be customized via the --seed argument.
