        Like clear(1), tabs writes to the standard output.   You  can  redirect
        the standard output to a file (which prevents tabs from actually chang-
        ing the tabstops), and later cat the file to the screen,  setting  tab-
        stops at that point.
 
+       These  are  hardware  tabs, which cannot be queried rapidly by applica-

+       applications  may  use  hardware tabs in optimizing their output to the
+       terminal.  If the hardware tabstops differ from the information in  the
+       terminal database, the result is unpredictable.
