### 8.4.7 first-indent option

This is the “first line prefix” option.

This option has some usage constraints. It:

- must appear in combination with the following options: indent.

If a number, then this many spaces will be inserted at the start of the first line. Otherwise, it is a line prefix that will be inserted at the start of that line. If its length exceeds "indent", then it will be emitted on a line by itself, suffixed by any line separation string. For example:

    $ columns --first='#define TABLE' -c 2 -I4 --line=' \' <<_EOF_
    one
    two
    three
    four
    _EOF_
    #define TABLE \
        one   two \
        three four
