Its functions include:
| Method name | Description |

| textutils.slowPrint(string text, int rate) | Slowly prints the text. Only difference is, it leaves a new-line after it. |
| textutils.slowWrite(string text, int rate) | Slowly writes the text. |
| textutils.formatTime(int time, bool TwentyFourHour) | Put a time into it, and it spews it out in a different format. For example:
local time = os.time() print(textutils.formatTime(time, false)) |
| textutils.tabulate(table table, table table2, ...) | Prints tables in an ordered form. Each table is a row, columns' width is auto-adjusted. |

| textutils.serialize(table table) | Returns a string representation of the table t for storage or transmission. |
| textutils.unserialize(string text) | Returns a table reassembled from the string s. |
| textutils.urlEncode(string text) | Makes a string safe to encode into a url. Spaces are replaced with +s. Unsafe characters such as '\', '£' and '}' are translated into ASCII code and preceded with a % for transmission. For reference visit: [1]. |
