string-pad - pad characters before and after string
===================================================
Synopsis
--------
.. BEGIN SYNOPSIS
::
string pad [(-l | --left)] [(-r | --right)] [(-c | --char) CHAR] [(-n | --count) INTEGER] [(-m | --max) INTEGER] [(-q | --quiet)] [STRING...]
.. END SYNOPSIS
Description
-----------
.. BEGIN DESCRIPTION
``string pad`` pads before and after the string specified character for each STRING. If ``-l`` or ``--left`` is given, only padded before string. Left only is the default padding. If ``-r`` or ``--right`` is given, only padded after string. The ``-c`` or ``--char`` switch causes the characters in CHAR to be padded instead of whitespace. The ``-n`` or ``--count`` integer specifies the amount of characters to be padded. The default padding count is 0. The ``-m` or ``--max`` integer specifies the resulting length of the after after adding pad characters. Note, that the ``-n`` and ``-m`` flags are mutually exclusive, you can only use one of them. Exit status: 0 if string was padded, or 1 otherwise.
