It appears in the FreeBSD man page as well, but not the OpenBSD man page. https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?script https://man.openbsd.org/script I don't understand why that parenthetical comment is in the FreeBSD man page either, but it was clearly copied over to the util-linux man page without modification. Another thing I don't understand is what the OP of this thread was trying to do in the first place.
