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.

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. + + +</PRE> +<H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE> + <STRONG><A HREF="tset.1.html">tset(1)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="infocmp.1m.html">infocmp(1m)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG>. + + This describes <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> version 5.9 (patch 20110404). + + + + <STRONG><A HREF="tabs.1.html">tabs(1)</A></STRONG> +</PRE> +<HR> +<ADDRESS> +Man(1) output converted with +<a href="http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html">man2html</a> +</ADDRESS> +</BODY> +</HTML> |
