-\fBtput -V\fR
-.br
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The \fBtput\fR utility uses the \fBterminfo\fR database to make the
-values of terminal-dependent capabilities and information available to
-the shell (see \fBsh\fR(1)), to initialize or reset the terminal, or
-return the long name of the requested terminal type. \fBtput\fR
-outputs a string if the attribute (\fIcap\fRability \fIname\fR) is of
-type string, or an integer if the attribute is of type integer. If
-the attribute is of type boolean, \fBtput\fR simply sets the exit code
-(\fB0\fR for TRUE if the terminal has the capability, \fB1\fR for
-FALSE if it does not), and produces no output. Before using a value
-returned on standard output, the user should test the exit code
-[\fB$?\fR, see \fBsh\fR(1)] to be sure it is \fB0\fR.
-(See the \fBEXIT CODES\fR and \fBDIAGNOSTICS\fR sections.)
-For a complete list of capabilities
-and the \fIcapname\fR associated with each, see \fBterminfo\fR(\*n).
-.TP
-\fB-T\fR\fItype\fR
-indicates the \fItype\fR of terminal. Normally this option is
-unnecessary, because the default is taken from the environment
-variable \fBTERM\fR. If \fB-T\fR is specified, then the shell
-variables \fBLINES\fR and \fBCOLUMNS\fR will be ignored,and the
-operating system will not be queried for the actual screen size.
-.TP
-\fIcapname\fR
-indicates the attribute from the \fBterminfo\fR database. When
-\fBtermcap\fR support is compiled in, the \fBtermcap\fR name for
-the attribute is also accepted.
-.TP
-\fIparms\fR
-If the attribute is a string that takes parameters, the arguments
-\fIparms\fR will be instantiated into the string.
-An all-numeric argument will be passed to the attribute as a number.
-.IP
-Only a few terminfo capabilities require string parameters;
-\fBtput\fR uses a table to decide which to pass as strings.
-Normally \fBtput\fR uses \fBtparm\fR (3X) to perform the substitution.
-If no parameters are given for the attribute,
-\fBtput\fR writes the string without performing the substitution.
-.TP
-\fB-S\fR
-allows more than one capability per invocation of \fBtput\fR. The
-capabilities must be passed to \fBtput\fR from the standard input
-instead of from the command line (see example).
-Only one \fIcapname\fR is allowed per line.
-The \fB-S\fR option changes the
-meaning of the \fB0\fR and \fB1\fR boolean and string exit codes (see the
-EXIT CODES section).
-.IP
-Again, \fBtput\fR uses a table and the presence of parameters in its input
-to decide whether to use \fBtparm\fR (3X),
-and how to interpret the parameters.
-.TP
-\fB-V\fR
-reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program, and exits.
-.TP
-\fBinit\fR
-If the \fBterminfo\fR database is present and an entry for the user's
-terminal exists (see \fB-T\fR\fItype\fR, above), the following will
-occur: (1) if present, the terminal's initialization strings will be
-output (\fBis1\fR, \fBis2\fR, \fBis3\fR, \fBif\fR, \fBiprog\fR), (2)
-any delays (e.g., newline) specified in the entry will be set in the
-tty driver, (3) tabs expansion will be turned on or off according to
-the specification in the entry, and (4) if tabs are not expanded,
-standard tabs will be set (every 8 spaces). If an entry does not
-contain the information needed for any of the four above activities,
-that activity will silently be skipped.
-.TP
-\fBreset\fR
-Instead of putting out initialization strings, the terminal's
-reset strings will be output if present (\fBrs1\fR, \fBrs2\fR, \fBrs3\fR, \fBrf\fR).
-If the reset strings are not present, but initialization
-strings are, the initialization strings will be output.
-Otherwise, \fBreset\fR acts identically to \fBinit\fR.
-.TP
-\fBlongname\fR
-If the \fBterminfo\fR database is present and an entry for the
-user's terminal exists (see \fB-T\fR\fItype\fR above), then the long name
-of the terminal will be put out. The long name is the last
-name in the first line of the terminal's description in the
-\fBterminfo\fR database [see \fBterm\fR(5)].
-.PP
-If \fBtput\fR is invoked by a link named \fBreset\fR, this has the
-same effect as \fBtput reset\fR.
-See \fBtset\fR for comparison, which has similar behavior.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.TP 5
-\fBtput init\fR
-Initialize the terminal according to the type of
-terminal in the environmental variable \fBTERM\fR. This
-command should be included in everyone's .profile after
-the environmental variable \fBTERM\fR has been exported, as
-illustrated on the \fBprofile\fR(5) manual page.
-.TP 5
-\fBtput -T5620 reset\fR
-Reset an AT&T 5620 terminal, overriding the type of
-terminal in the environmental variable \fBTERM\fR.
-.TP 5
-\fBtput cup 0 0\fR
-Send the sequence to move the cursor to row \fB0\fR, column \fB0\fR
-(the upper left corner of the screen, usually known as the "home"
-cursor position).
-.TP 5
-\fBtput clear\fR
-Echo the clear-screen sequence for the current terminal.
-.TP 5
-\fBtput cols\fR
-Print the number of columns for the current terminal.
-.TP 5
-\fBtput -T450 cols\fR
-Print the number of columns for the 450 terminal.
-.TP 5
-\fBbold=`tput smso` offbold=`tput rmso`\fR
-Set the shell variables \fBbold\fR, to begin stand-out mode
-sequence, and \fBoffbold\fR, to end standout mode sequence,
-for the current terminal. This might be followed by a
-prompt: \fBecho "${bold}Please type in your name: ${offbold}\\c"\fR
-.TP 5
-\fBtput hc\fR
-Set exit code to indicate if the current terminal is a hard copy terminal.
-.TP 5
-\fBtput cup 23 4\fR
-Send the sequence to move the cursor to row 23, column 4.
-.TP 5
-\fBtput cup\fR
-Send the terminfo string for cursor-movement, with no parameters substituted.
-.TP 5
-\fBtput longname\fR
-Print the long name from the \fBterminfo\fR database for the
-type of terminal specified in the environmental
-variable \fBTERM\fR.
-.PP
-.RS 5
-\fBtput -S <<!\fR
-.br
-\fB> clear\fR
-.br
-\fB> cup 10 10\fR

-\fB> bold\fR

-\fB> !\fR
-.RE
-.TP 5
-\&
-This example shows \fBtput\fR processing several capabilities in one invocation.
-It clears the screen,
-moves the cursor to position 10, 10
-and turns on bold (extra bright) mode.
-The list is terminated by an exclamation mark (\fB!\fR) on a line by itself.

-.SH EXIT CODES
-If the \fB-S\fR option is used,
-\fBtput\fR 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 \fB0\fR.
-No indication of which line failed can be given so
-exit code \fB1\fR will never appear. Exit codes \fB2\fR, \fB3\fR, and
-\fB4\fR retain their usual interpretation.
-If the \fB-S\fR option is not used,
-the exit code depends on the type of \fIcapname\fR:
-.RS 5
-.TP
-.I boolean
-a value of \fB0\fR is set for TRUE and \fB1\fR for FALSE.
-.TP
-.I string
-a value of \fB0\fR is set if the
-\fIcapname\fR is defined for this terminal \fItype\fR (the value of
-\fIcapname\fR is returned on standard output);
-a value of \fB1\fR is set if \fIcapname\fR
-is not defined for this terminal \fItype\fR
-(nothing is written to standard output).
-.TP
-.I integer
-a value of \fB0\fR is always set,
-whether or not \fIcapname\fR is defined for this terminal \fItype\fR.
-To determine if \fIcapname\fR is defined for this terminal \fItype\fR,
-the user must test the value written to standard output.
-A value of \fB-1\fR
-means that \fIcapname\fR is not defined for this terminal \fItype\fR.
-.TP
-.I other
-\fBreset\fR or \fBinit\fR may fail to find their respective files.
-In that case, the exit code is set to 4 + \fBerrno\fR.
-.RE
-.PP
-Any other exit code indicates an error; see the DIAGNOSTICS section.
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-\fBtput\fR prints the following error messages and sets the corresponding exit
-codes.
