rmb(M)                          19 June 1992                          rmb(M)


 Name

    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 all long sequences of blank
    lines will be reduced to two blank lines.  This is particularly useful
    for cleaning nroff(CT) output of blank lines before putting the output in
    a file.

 See also

    man(C), nroff(CT)

 Notes

    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.

    rmb is an extension of AT&T System V provided by The Santa Cruz Opera-
