10.0;ts (tab_set) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
ts (tab_set) set tab stops for all windows
usage: ts [n1 [n2] ... [-r]]
DESCRIPTION
The ts command sets the default tab stops for all windows. You can also
set tab stops from within a program, using a call to the system routine
pad_$set_tabs; tab stops set under program control override those set by
ts within windows belonging to the program.
By default, tabs are initially set every five spaces.
The DM command = displays the line and column numbers of the current
cursor position. This can be helpful when you are trying to set tab
stops visually.
ARGUMENTS
If you do not specify an argument, ts sets a stop at every character on
the line.
n1 n2 ... (optional)
Specify tab stops. The n values are integers representing
absolute character positions. You must specify them in
increasing order. Column numbers start with one.
Default if omitted: see above
OPTIONS
-r Repeat the last interval.
NOTE
There is a homonymous shell command: ts - display the module name and
time stamp. Type help ts for details about that command.
EXAMPLES
ts 7 12 -r Set tabs at columns 7 and 12, and every five spaces
thereafter.
