Re: "tput init" fails - TERMINFO


Thank you for your answer, but in the man page for "tput" command
you can find for "init" parameter :

init   If  the terminfo database is present and an entry for the user's
      terminal exists (see -Ttype, above), the following  will  occur:
      (1)  if  present,  the terminal's initialization strings will be
      output (is1, is2, is3, if, iprog), (2) any  delays  (e.g.,  new-
      line)  specified in the entry will be set in the tty driver, (3)
      tabs expansion will be turned on or off according to the  speci-
      fication  in  the entry, and (4) if tabs are not expanded, stan-
      dard tabs will be set (every 8 spaces).  If an  entry  does  not
      contain the information needed for any of the four above activi-
      ties, that activity will silently be skipped.

There is a "init" parameter for the command "tput".
What's the problem ?

Thank your for your answer.

in man 5 terminfo, there is no init string indeed. There is is1, is2 and
is3 however. See further in man page for details.
