- Tell <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> which terminal type to use. If this option
- is not given, <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> will use the <STRONG>$TERM</STRONG> environment
- variable. If that is not set, it will use the
- <EM>ansi+tabs</EM> entry.
-
- <STRONG>-d</STRONG> The debugging option shows a ruler line, followed by
- two data lines. The first data line shows the
- expected tab-stops marked with asterisks. The second
- data line shows the actual tab-stops, marked with
- asterisks.
-
- <STRONG>-n</STRONG> This option tells <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> to check the options and run
- any debugging option, but not to modify the terminal
- settings.
-
- The <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> program processes a single list of tab stops.
- The last option to be processed which defines a list is
- the one that determines the list to be processed.
-
- <STRONG>Implicit</STRONG> <STRONG>Lists</STRONG>
- Use a single number as an option, e.g., "<STRONG>-5</STRONG>" to set tabs
- at the given interval (in this case 1, 6, 11, 16, 21,
- etc.). Tabs are repeated up to the right margin of the
- screen.
-
- <STRONG>Explicit</STRONG> <STRONG>Lists</STRONG>
- An explicit list can be defined after the options (this
- does not use a "-"). The values in the list must be in
- increasing numeric order, and greater than zero. They are
- separated by a comma or a blank, for example,
-
- tabs 1,6,11,16,21
- tabs 1 6 11 16 21
- Use a '+' to treat a number as an increment relative to
- the previous value, e.g.,
-
- tabs 1,+5,+5,+5,+5
