+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility displays a series of characters that clear the hardware terminal
+tab settings then initialises tab stops at specified positions, and
+optionally adjusts the margin.
+.Pp
+In the first synopsis form, the tab stops set depend on the command line
+options used, and may be one of the predefined formats or at regular
+intervals.
+.Pp
+In the second synopsis form, tab stops are set at positions
+.Ar n1 , n2 ,
+etc.
+If a position is preceded by a
+.Ql + ,
+it is relative to the previous position set.
+No more than 20 positions may be specified.
+.Pp
+If no tab stops are specified, the
+.Dq standard
+.Ux
+tab width of 8 is used.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl Ar n
+Set a tab stop every
+.Ar n
+columns.
+If
+.Ar n
+is 0, the tab stops are cleared but no new ones are set.

+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+The
+.Ev LANG , LC_ALL , LC_CTYPE
+and

+environment variables affect the execution of
+.Nm
+as described in
+.Xr environ 7 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl T
+option overrides the setting of the
+.Ev TERM
+environment variable.
+If neither
+.Ev TERM
+nor the
+.Fl T
+option are present,
+.Nm
+will fail.
