Description Gary W. Swearingen 2005-08-08 16:40:19 UTC
tput(1) manpage has several problems:

-- Missing an ENVIRONMENT section with TERM.
-- Too much in first paragraph, including start of option description.
-- A couple of descriptions are incomplete.
-- Confuses a "sequence" (of fields) with a "capability" (one field).
-- Synopsis doesn't show that all arguments are optional.

How-To-Repeat: n/a
