- the environmental variable <B>TERM</B>.
-
- <B>tput</B> <B>cup</B> <B>0</B> <B>0</B>
- Send the sequence to move the cursor to row <B>0</B>, column <B>0</B> (the upper

-
- <B>bold=`tput</B> <B>smso`</B> <B>offbold=`tput</B> <B>rmso`</B>
- Set the shell variables <B>bold</B>, to begin stand-out mode sequence,
- and <B>offbold</B>, to end standout mode sequence, for the current
- terminal. This might be followed by a prompt: <B>echo</B> <B>"${bold}Please</B>
- <B>type</B> <B>in</B> <B>your</B> <B>name:</B> <B>${offbold}\c"</B>
-
- <B>tput</B> <B>hc</B>
- Set exit code to indicate if the current terminal is a hard copy
- terminal.
-
- <B>tput</B> <B>cup</B> <B>23</B> <B>4</B>
- Send the sequence to move the cursor to row 23, column 4.
-
- <B>tput</B> <B>cup</B>
- Send the terminfo string for cursor-movement, with no parameters
- substituted.
-
- <B>tput</B> <B>longname</B>
- Print the long name from the <B>terminfo</B> database for the type of
- terminal specified in the environmental variable <B>TERM</B>.
-
- <B>tput</B> <B>-S</B> <B><<!</B>
- <B>></B> <B>clear</B>
- <B>></B> <B>cup</B> <B>10</B> <B>10</B>
- <B>></B> <B>bold</B>
- <B>></B> <B>!</B>
-
- This example shows <B>tput</B> processing several capabilities in one
- invocation. It clears the screen, moves the cursor to position
- 10, 10 and turns on bold (extra bright) mode. The list is
- terminated by an exclamation mark (<B>!</B>) on a line by itself.

- If the <B>-S</B> option is used, <B>tput</B> checks for errors from each line, and if
- any errors are found, will set the exit code to 4 plus the number of
- lines with errors. If no errors are found, the exit code is <B>0</B>. No
- indication of which line failed can be given so exit code <B>1</B> will never
- appear. Exit codes <B>2</B>, <B>3</B>, and <B>4</B> retain their usual interpretation. If
- the <B>-S</B> option is not used, the exit code depends on the type of
- <I>capname</I>:
