DESCRIPTION

-       The  tabs  program clears and sets tab-stops on the termi-
-       nal.  This uses the terminfo  clear_all_tabs  and  set_tab
-       capabilities.   If  either  is  absent,  tabs is unable to
-       clear/set tab-stops.  The terminal should be configured to

-       Like  clear(1),  tabs  writes to the standard output.  You
-       can redirect the standard output to a file (which prevents
-       tabs  from  actually changing the tabstops), and later cat
-       the file to the screen, setting tabstops at that point.

OPTIONS

 
 

General Options

        -Tname
-            Tell tabs which terminal type to use.  If this option
-            is  not  given,  tabs  will use the $TERM environment
-            variable.  If that  is  not  set,  it  will  use  the
-            ansi+tabs entry.

-       -d   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

+            marked with asterisks.
 
-       -n   This  option  tells tabs to check the options and run
-            any debugging option, but not to modify the  terminal
-            settings.

-       the one that determines the list to be processed.

Implicit Lists

-       Use a single number as an option, e.g., "-5" 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.
