type doesn't have to be installed; it is part of every Bourne-type shell of the last 20, if not 30, years.
If you don't have it, you must be using csh or tcsh. Those are non-standard shells that are not recommended for scripting.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed interface description follows.
indent

Default indent is calculated as TTY_WIDTH-10. If current tty width can not be determined (for example, in case of serial console), it
