Yes, but "man tput" says that "tput init" should work:
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., 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.
I'm not sure why it's trying to treat "init" as a capname and failing. It would
seem the documentation is out of sync with the code, or there is a bug
somewhere.
