>Description:
The tputs man page claims that tputs's third argument is a
pointer to function returning int taking unknown arguments.
The source and header claim that it is a pointer to function
returning void taking an int.
One of them must be wrong.
I am told that the int return type is not atypical; certainly,
it would be consistent with the use of, for instance, putchar().
>How-To-Repeat:
man tputs
>Fix:
Dunno. Fix either the source or the man page.
