Termutils - Programs for controlling terminals

There are two separate commands.

'tput'lets shell scripts do things like clear the screen, underline text, and center text no matter how wide the screen is by translating the terminal-independant name of a terminal capability into its actual value for the terminal type being used.

'tabs' sets hardware terminal tab settings.
