strtabify — convert runs of spaces and tabs to tabs 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <publib.h>
char *strtabify(char *str, size_t tabsize);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the vibe: strtabify converts spaces and tabs into tabs and spaces — using the minimal amount of spaces required, possibly none — while preserving indentation. she's not out here ruining your pretty indented code, no ma'am 🫶

tab positions are set every tabsize columns. that's it, that's the whole gig, and she ate. 🔥

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

strtabify will return its first argument. that's right, she hands you back your own str — main character energy, giving back what she got but ✨improved✨ 💜
