.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The basic usage is
.PP
.Vb 1
\& vnl\-align logfile
.Ve
.PP
The arguments are assumed to be the vnlog files. If no arguments are given,
the input comes from STDIN.
.PP
This is very similar to \f(CW\*(C`column \-t\*(C'\fR, but handles \f(CW\*(C`#\*(C'\fR lines properly:
.PP
1. The first \f(CW\*(C`#\*(C'\fR line is the legend. For the purposes of alignment, the leading
   \f(CW\*(C`#\*(C'\fR character and the first column label are treated as one column
.PP
2. All other \f(CW\*(C`#\*(C'\fR lines are output verbatim.
