+
+ A few platforms such as FreeBSD and NetBSD recognize term-
+ cap names rather than terminfo capability names in their
+ respective tput commands.
+
+ Most implementations which provide support for capname
+ operands use the tparm function to expand parameters in
+ it. That function expects a mixture of numeric and string
+ parameters, requiring tput to know which type to use.
+ This implementation uses a table to determine that for the
+ standard capname operands, and an internal library func-
+ tion to analyze nonstandard capname operands. Other
+ implementations may simply guess that an operand contain-
+ ing only digits is intended to be a number.
