+
+       Most initialization is done with <B>is2</B>.  Special terminal  modes  can  be
+       set  up  without duplicating strings by putting the common sequences in
+       <B>is2</B> and special cases in <B>is1</B> and <B>is3</B>.
+
+       A set of sequences that does a harder  reset  from  a  totally  unknown
+       state can be given as <B>rs1</B>, <B>rs2</B>, <B>rf</B> and <B>rs3</B>, analogous to <B>is1</B> <B>,</B> <B>is2</B> <B>,</B> <B>if</B>
+       and <B>is3</B> respectively.  These strings are  output  by  <I>reset</I>  option  of
+       <B>tput</B>,  or  by  the <B>reset</B> program (an alias of <B>tset</B>), which is used when
+       the terminal gets into a wedged state.  Commands are normally placed in
+       <B>rs1</B>, <B>rs2</B> <B>rs3</B> and <B>rf</B> only if they produce annoying effects on the screen
+       and are not necessary when logging in.  For example, the command to set
+       the  vt100  into  80-column  mode would normally be part of <B>is2</B>, but it
+       causes an annoying glitch of the screen  and  is  not  normally  needed
+       since the terminal is usually already in 80-column mode.
+
+       The  <B>reset</B>  program  writes  strings including <B>iprog</B>, etc., in the same
+       order as the <I>init</I> program, using <B>rs1</B>, etc., instead of  <B>is1</B>,  etc.   If
+       any  of  <B>rs1</B>, <B>rs2</B>, <B>rs3</B>, or <B>rf</B> reset capability strings are missing, the
+       <B>reset</B>  program  falls  back  upon  the   corresponding   initialization
+       capability string.
+
+       If  there are commands to set and clear tab stops, they can be given as
+       <B>tbc</B> (clear all tab stops) and <B>hts</B> (set a tab stop in the current column
+       of  every  row).   If a more complex sequence is needed to set the tabs
+       than can be described by this, the sequence can be placed in <B>is2</B> or <B>if</B>.
+
+       The <B>tput</B> <B>reset</B> command uses the same capability strings  as  the  <B>reset</B>
+       command,  although  the two programs (<B>tput</B> and <B>reset</B>) provide different
+       command-line options.
+
+       In  practice,  these  terminfo  capabilities  are  not  often  used  in
+       initialization of tabs (though they are required for the <B>tabs</B> program):
+
+       <B>o</B>   Almost all hardware terminals (at least those which supported tabs)
+           initialized those to every <I>eight</I> columns:
+
+           The only exception was the AT&amp;T 2300  series,  which  set  tabs  to
+           every <I>five</I> columns.
+
+       <B>o</B>   In  particular,  developers  of  the  hardware  terminals which are
+           commonly used as models  for  modern  terminal  emulators  provided
+           documentation demonstrating that <I>eight</I> columns were the standard.
+
+       <B>o</B>   Because of this, the terminal initialization programs <B>tput</B> and <B>tset</B>
+           use  the  <B>tbc</B>  (<B>clear_all_tabs</B>)  and  <B>hts</B>  (<B>set_tab</B>)   capabilities
+           directly  only when the <B>it</B> (<B>init_tabs</B>) capability is set to a value
