+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.IR tabs
+utility shall display a series of characters that first clears the
+hardware terminal tab settings and then initializes the tab stops at
+the specified positions
+and optionally adjusts the margin.
+.P
+The phrase ``tab-stop position
+.IR N ''
+shall be taken to mean that, from the start of a line of output,
+tabbing to position
+.IR N
+shall cause the next character output to be in the (\c
+.IR N +1)th
+column position on that line. The maximum number of tab stops allowed
+is terminal-dependent.
+.P
+It need not be possible to implement
+.IR tabs
+on certain terminals. If the terminal type obtained from the
+.IR TERM
+environment variable or
+.BR \-T
+option represents such a terminal, an appropriate diagnostic message
+shall be written to standard error and
+.IR tabs
+shall exit with a status greater than zero.
+.SH OPTIONS
+The
+.IR tabs
+utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 12.2" ", " "Utility Syntax Guidelines",
+except for various extensions: the options
+.BR \-a2 ,
+.BR \-c2 ,
+and
+.BR \-c3
+are multi-character.
+.P
+The following options shall be supported:
+.IP "\fB\-\fIn\fR" 10
+Specify repetitive tab stops separated by a uniform number of column
+positions,
+.IR n ,
+where
+.IR n
+is a single-digit decimal number. The default usage of
+.IR tabs
+with no arguments shall be equivalent to
+.IR tabs
+\-8. When
+.BR \-0
+is used, the tab stops shall be cleared and no new ones set.
+.IP "\fB\-a\fP" 10

+.br
+Assembler, applicable to some mainframes.
+.IP "\fB\-a2\fP" 10

+.IP "\fB\-c\fP" 10

+.br
+COBOL, normal format.
+.IP "\fB\-c2\fP" 10
+1,6,10,14,49

+COBOL, compact format (columns 1 to 6 omitted).
+.IP "\fB\-c3\fP" 10
+1,6,10,14,18,22,26,30,34,38,42,46,50,54,58,62,67

+.IP "\fB\-T\ \fItype\fR" 10
+Indicate the type of terminal. If this option is not supplied and the
+.IR TERM
+variable is unset or null, an unspecified default terminal type shall
+be used. The setting of
+.IR type
+shall take precedence over the value in
+.IR TERM .
+.SH OPERANDS
+The following operand shall be supported:
+.IP "\fIn\fB[[\fIsep\fB[\fR+\fB]\fIn\fB]\fR...\fB]\fR" 10
+A single command line argument that consists of one or more tab-stop
+values (\c
+.IR n )
+separated by a separator character (\c
+.IR sep )
+which is either a
+<comma>
+or a
+<blank>
+character. The application shall ensure that the tab-stop values are
+positive decimal integers in strictly ascending order. If any tab-stop
+value (except the first one) is preceded by a
+<plus-sign>,
+it is taken as an increment to be added to the previous value. For
+example, the tab lists 1,10,20,30 and
+.BR \(dq1 10 +10 +10\(dq 
+are considered to be identical.
+.SH STDIN
+Not used.
+.SH "INPUT FILES"
+None.
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
+The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+.IR tabs :
+.IP "\fILANG\fP" 10
+Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
+unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables"
+for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
+the values of locale categories.)
+.IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10
+If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
+other internationalization variables.
+.IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10
+Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
+text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
+multi-byte characters in arguments).
+.IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10
+.br
+Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
+contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
+.IP "\fINLSPATH\fP" 10
+Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of
+.IR LC_MESSAGES .
+.IP "\fITERM\fP" 10
+Determine the terminal type. If this variable is unset or null, and if
+the
+.BR \-T
+option is not specified, an unspecified default terminal type shall be
+used.
+.SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS"
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+If standard output is a terminal, the appropriate sequence to clear and
+set the tab stops may be written to standard output in an unspecified
+format. If standard output is not a terminal, undefined results
+occur.
+.SH STDERR
+The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+.SH "OUTPUT FILES"
+None.
+.SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION"
+None.
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+The following exit values shall be returned:
+.IP "\00" 6
+Successful completion.
+.IP >0 6
+An error occurred.
+.SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS"
+Default.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+This utility makes use of the terminal's hardware tabs and the
+.IR stty
+.IR tabs
+option.
+.P
+This utility is not recommended for application use.
+.P
+Some integrated display units might not have escape sequences to set
+tab stops, but may be set by internal system calls. On these
+terminals,
+.IR tabs
+works if standard output is directed to the terminal; if output is
+directed to another file, however,
+.IR tabs
+fails.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+Consideration was given to having the
+.IR tput
+utility handle all of the functions described in
+.IR tabs .
+However, the separate
+.IR tabs
+utility was retained because it seems more intuitive to use a command
+named
+.IR tabs
+than
+.IR tput
+with a new option. The
+.IR tput
+utility does not support setting or clearing tabs, and no known
+historical version of
+.IR tabs
+supports the capability of setting arbitrary tab stops.
+.P
+The System V
+.IR tabs
+interface is very complex; the version in this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 has a reduced feature
+list, but many of the features omitted were restored as part of the
+XSI option even though the supported languages and coding styles are
+primarily historical.
+.P
+There was considerable sentiment for specifying only a means of
+resetting the tabs back to a known state\(empresumably the ``standard''
+of tabs every eight positions. The following features were omitted:
+.IP " *" 4
+Setting tab stops via the first line in a file, using \-\|\-\c
+.IR file .
+Since even the SVID has no complete explanation of this feature, it is
+doubtful that it is in widespread use.
+.P
+In an early proposal, a
+.BR \-t
+.IR tablist
+option was added for consistency with
+.IR expand ;
+this was later removed when inconsistencies with the historical list of
+tabs were identified.
+.P
+Consideration was given to adding a
+.BR \-p
+option that would output the current tab settings so that they could be
+saved and then later restored. This was not accepted because querying
+the tab stops of the terminal is not a capability in historical
+.IR terminfo
+or
+.IR termcap
+facilities and might not be supported on a wide range of terminals.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
