The functions (\fIputnum\fR\^) and
(\fIputstr\fR\^) are somewhat special: they print their result in the minimum number of characters
required, and ignore any leading field width argument. The (\fIputlit\fR\^)
-function outputs the exact contents of str register without any changes
+function outputs the exact contents of the str register without any changes
such as duplicate space removal or control character conversion.
+The (\fIzputlit\fR\^) function similarly outputs the exact contents of
+the str register, but requires that those contents not occupy any
+output width. It can therefore be used for outputting terminal escape
+sequences.
.PP
The available output width is kept in an internal register; any output
past this width will be truncated.
