The problem is that I did not know that I must look for
'tabstop' until I looked into the source and then I didn't
need the man.

I tried 

man rio
man sam
man window

read the pages through and didn't find a single mention
of the way tab widths can be adjusted. I realize now that
grep'ing /sys/man/*/* with '[^a-z]tab' would bring the
answer, but I realize it only when I know already what
to look for. I didn't have the right question before I knew
the answer.
