create a horizontal line in the table output, line takes a string argument as the char of string used in that specific line.
Settings
You can send in a settings object with the create function.
With these you can set the character that fills the text that has less width than the longest.
And you can set the delimiter between columns.
var tto = require('terminal-table-output')
.create({
fill: "-",
border: "/",
line: ">"
});
Would output the example above in the following way.
foo--/bar-------/foobar
onoff/extraextra/
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
table/delay-----/
Default settings

border: " | "
line: "="
