+<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
+ <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> - set tabs on a terminal
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
+ <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> [<STRONG>-v</STRONG>[<EM>n</EM>]] [<STRONG>-ahuUV</STRONG>] <EM>file...</EM>
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ The <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> program clears and sets tab-stops on the termi-
+ nal. This uses the terminfo <EM>clear</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>all</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>tabs</EM> and <EM>set</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>tab</EM>
+ capabilities. If either is absent, <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> is unable to
+ clear/set tab-stops. The terminal should be configured to
+ use hard tabs, e.g.,
+
+ stty tab0
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>OPTIONS</H2><PRE>
+ <STRONG>General</STRONG> <STRONG>Options</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>-T</STRONG><EM>name</EM>
+ 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.
+
+ Use "<STRONG>-0</STRONG>" to clear all tabs.
+
+ Use "<STRONG>-8</STRONG>" to set tabs to the standard interval.
+
+ <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
+ which is equivalent to the 1,6,11,16,21 example.
+
+ <STRONG>Predefined</STRONG> <STRONG>Tab-Stops</STRONG>
+ X/Open defines several predefined lists of tab stops.
+
+ <STRONG>-a</STRONG> Assembler, IBM S/370, first format
+
+ <STRONG>-a2</STRONG> Assembler, IBM S/370, second format
+
+ <STRONG>-c</STRONG> COBOL, normal format
+
+ <STRONG>-c2</STRONG> COBOL compact format
+
+ <STRONG>-c3</STRONG> COBOL compact format extended
+
+ <STRONG>-f</STRONG> FORTRAN
+
+ <STRONG>-p</STRONG> PL/I
+
+ <STRONG>-s</STRONG> SNOBOL
+
+ <STRONG>-u</STRONG> UNIVAC 1100 Assembler
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ X/Open describes a <STRONG>+m</STRONG> option, to set a terminal's left-
+ margin. Very few of the entries in the terminal database
+ provide this capability.
+
+ The <STRONG>-d</STRONG> (debug) and <STRONG>-n</STRONG> (no-op) options are extensions not
+ provided by other implementations.
+
+ Documentation for other implementations states that there
+ is a limit on the number of tab stops. While some termi-
+ nals may not accept an arbitrary number of tab stops, this
+ implementation will attempt to set tab stops up to the
+ right margin of the screen, if the given list happens to
+ be that long.
