Options

        -Ttype indicates the  type  of  terminal.   Normally  this
               option is unnecessary, because the default is taken
               from the environment variable TERM.  If -T is spec-
               ified,  then  the shell variables LINES and COLUMNS
               will also be ignored.
 
-       capname
-              indicates the capability from  the  terminfo  data-
-              base.   When  termcap  support  is compiled in, the
-              termcap name for the capability is also accepted.
-
-       parms  If the capability is a string  that  takes  parame-
-              ters, the arguments parms will be instantiated into
-              the string.
-
-              Most parameters are numbers.  Only a  few  terminfo
-              capabilities require string parameters; tput uses a
-              table to decide which to pass as strings.  Normally
-              tput  uses  tparm (3x) to perform the substitution.
-              If no parameters are given for the capability, tput
-              writes  the string without performing the substitu-

-
        -S     allows more than one capability per  invocation  of

+
+              If  the  capability  is a string that takes parame-

+              be used as parameters for the string.
+

               for the user's terminal exists (see -Ttype, above),

-              (3)    tabs  expansion  will  be  turned  on or off
-                     according to the specification in the entry,

+              (4)  if tabs are not expanded, standard  tabs  will

-              will silently be skipped.
-
-       reset  Instead of putting out initialization strings,  the

-              (rs1, rs2, rs3, rf).  If the reset strings are  not

               The long name is the last name in the first line of

               [see term(5)].
 
-       If tput is invoked by a link named  reset,  this  has  the

Aliases

+       tput  handles  the  init  and reset commands specially: it
+       allows for the possibility that it is invoked  by  a  link
+       with those names.
+
+       If  tput  is  invoked  by a link named reset, this has the
+       same effect as  tput  reset.   The  tset(1)  utility  also
+       treats a link named reset specially:
+
+       o   That  utility  resets  the  terminal modes and special
+           characters (not done here).
+
+       o   On the other hand, tset's repertoire of terminal capa-
+           bilities  for  resetting the terminal is more limited,
+           i.e., only reset_1string, reset_2string and reset_file
+           in contrast to the tab-stops and margins which are set
+           by this utility.
+
+       o   The reset program is usually an alias for tset, due to
+           the  resetting  of  terminal modes and special charac-
+           ters.
+
+       If tput is invoked by a link named init, this has the same
+       effect  as  tput  init.  Again, you are less likely to use
+       that link because another program named init  has  a  more
+       well-established use.

EXIT CODES

        If the -S option is used, tput 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 0.   No  indication  of  which
+       line,  and if any errors are found, will set the exit code
+       to 4 plus the number of lines with errors.  If  no  errors

        line failed can be given so exit code 1 will never appear.

        in BSD curses or in AT&T/USL curses before SVr4.

-       systems such as Solaris, IRIX64 and HPUX as well as others
-       such  as  AIX  and Tru64 provide support for capname oper-
-       ands.
-
-       A few platforms such as FreeBSD and NetBSD recognize term-
-       cap  names  rather than terminfo capability names in their
-       respective tput commands.
+       IEEE Std 1003.1/The Open Group  Base Specifications  Issue
+       7  (POSIX.1-2008)  documents  only the operands for clear,
+       init and reset.  There are a few interesting  observations
+       to make regarding that:
+
+       o   In  this  implementation, clear is part of the capname
+           support.  The others (init and longname) do not corre-
+           spond to terminal capabilities.
+
+       o   Other  implementations  of  tput on SVr4-based systems
+           such as Solaris, IRIX64 and HPUX  as  well  as  others
+           such  as AIX and Tru64 provide support for capname op-
+           erands.
+
+       o   A few platforms  such  as  FreeBSD  recognize  termcap
+           names  rather  than terminfo capability names in their
+           respective tput commands.  Since 2010,  NetBSD's  tput
+           uses  terminfo  names.  Before that, it (like FreeBSD)
+           recognized termcap names.
+
+       Because (apparently) all of  the  certified  Unix  systems
+       support  the  full  set of capability names, the reasoning
+       for documenting only a few may not be apparent.
+
+       o   X/Open Curses Issue 7 documents tput differently, with
+           capname  and the other features used in this implemen-
+           tation.
+
+       o   That is, there are two standards for  tput:  POSIX  (a
+           subset)  and  X/Open Curses (the full implementation).
+           POSIX documents a subset to avoid the complication  of
+           including  X/Open Curses and the terminal capabilities
+           database.
+
+       o   While it is certainly possible to write a tput program
+           without using curses, none of the systems which have a
+           curses implementation provide  a  tput  utility  which
+           does not provide the capname feature.
