Tabs are repeated up to +the right margin of the screen. +.PP +Use \*(``\fB\-0\fP\*('' to clear all tabs. +.PP +Use \*(``\fB\-8\fP\*('' to set tabs to the standard interval. +.SS Explicit Lists +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, +.NS +tabs 1,6,11,16,21 +.br +tabs 1 6 11 16 21 +.NE +.PP +Use a \*(``+\*('' to treat a number as an increment relative to the previous value, +e.g., +.NS +tabs 1,+5,+5,+5,+5 +.NE +.PP +which is equivalent to the 1,6,11,16,21 example. +.SS Predefined Tab-Stops +X/Open defines several predefined lists of tab stops. +.TP 5 +.B \-a +Assembler, IBM S/370, first format +.TP 5 +.B \-a2 +Assembler, IBM S/370, second format +.TP 5 +.B \-c +COBOL, normal format +.TP 5 +.B \-c2 +COBOL compact format +.TP 5 +.B \-c3 +COBOL compact format extended +.TP 5 +.B \-f +FORTRAN +.TP 5 +.B \-p +PL/I +.TP 5 +.B \-s +SNOBOL +.TP 5 +.B \-u +UNIVAC 1100 Assembler +.SH PORTABILITY +.PP +IEEE Std 1003.1/The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7 (POSIX.1-2008) describes +a \fBtabs\fP utility. However +.bP +This standard describes a \fB+m\fP option, to set a terminal's left-margin. +Very few of the entries in the terminal database provide this capability. +.bP +There is no counterpart in X/Open Curses Issue 7 for this utility, +unlike \fBtput(1)\fP. +.PP +The \fB\-d\fP (debug) and \fB\-n\fP (no-op) options are extensions not provided +by other implementations. +.PP +Documentation for other implementations states that there is a limit on the +number of tab stops. While some terminals 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. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBtset\fR(1), +\fBinfocmp\fR(1), +\fBncurses\fR(3NCURSES), +\fBterminfo\fR(\*n). +.PP +This describes \fBncurses\fR +version 6.1 (patch 20180317). |
