SYNOPSIS

[-a|--align name]
[-b|--basic-char char]

DESCRIPTION
The echobox utility writes any specified operands, separated by single blank (' ') characters, in a box, to the standard output.
The "\n" substring is used to split the concatenated operands into multiple lines.
If there are no arguments provided on the command line, standard input is read
(until a Control-D (Unix) or Control-Z (Windows) character is sent).

STANDARDS
The echobox command is not a standard UNIX/POSIX command.
It tries to follow the PEP 8 style guide for Python code.
PORTABILITY
Tested OK under Windows, though some of the styles are not available
(the hatched and curved Unicode characters are not fully recognized in the cmd.exe and PowerShell command prompts).
HISTORY
The echobox command was created as an example for the PNU project,
demonstrating how to process the environment and the command line, and use the Python logging module.
It's also used as a filter for fortune(6) output,
in order to introduce some boxology.
LICENSE
This utility is available under the 3-clause BSD license.

CAVEATS
Specifying basic or fill Unicode characters is not currently possible with the environment and command line options.
Display will overflow if your text is wider than your console.
