tgoto(3) says col,row but it seems to be x,col?

[Steffen Nurpmeso]

Hello,

and termcap(5) says "ch Move cursor horizontally only to column
%1" and terminfo(5) says "column_address hpa ch horizontal
%position #1, absolute (P)", but when i'm doing
n_termcap_cmd(n_TERMCAP_CMD_ch, w, -1) which translates to
tgoto(cp, a1, a2) then nothing happens, i have to write
tgoto(cp,0,a1) instead.

I.e., the following program moves the cursor to column 42!
That's not right, is it.  This is on current ArchLinux.

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  
  #include <curses.h>
  #include <term.h>
  
  int main(void){
     char buf[4096], *bp, *c_ch, *cp;
  
     if(tgetent(bp = buf, getenv("TERM")) <= 0)
        return 1;
  
     if((c_ch = tgetstr("ch", NULL)) == NULL)
        return 2;
              
     if((cp = tgoto(c_ch, 5, 42)) == NULL)
        return 3;
  
     printf("\n");
     tputs(cp, 1, putchar);
     fflush(stdout);
     sleep(5);   
     return 0;   
  }
