+ capabilities in the <STRONG>init</STRONG> subcommand.
Keith Bostic replaced the BSD <STRONG>tput</STRONG> command in 1989 with a new
implementation based on the AT&T System V program <STRONG>tput</STRONG>. Like the AT&T
program, Bostic's version accepted some parameters named for <EM>terminfo</EM>
- <EM>capabilities</EM> (<STRONG>clear</STRONG>, <STRONG>init</STRONG>, <STRONG>longname</STRONG> and <STRONG>reset</STRONG>). However (because he
- had only termcap available), it accepted <EM>termcap</EM> <EM>names</EM> for other
+ capabilities (<STRONG>clear</STRONG>, <STRONG>init</STRONG>, <STRONG>longname</STRONG> and <STRONG>reset</STRONG>). However (because he
+ had only <EM>termcap</EM> available), it accepted <EM>termcap</EM> names for other
capabilities. Also, Bostic's BSD <STRONG>tput</STRONG> did not modify the terminal I/O
modes as the earlier BSD <STRONG>tset</STRONG> had done.
Until changes made after ncurses 6.0, <STRONG>tput</STRONG> did not modify terminal
modes. <STRONG>tput</STRONG> now uses a similar scheme, using functions shared with
<STRONG>tset</STRONG> (and ultimately based on the 4.4BSD <STRONG>tset</STRONG>). If it is not able
- to open a terminal, e.g., when running in <STRONG>cron</STRONG>, <STRONG>tput</STRONG> will return an
- error.

<STRONG>o</STRONG> AT&T <STRONG>tput</STRONG> guesses the type of its <EM>capname</EM> operands by seeing if all
