        important  use).   This implementation behaves like 4.4BSD
        tset, with a few exceptions specified here.
 
        The -S option of BSD tset no longer works;  it  prints  an
        error message to stderr and dies.  The -s option only sets

        noisily rather than silently induce lossage).
