+``` {program} caput
+```
+
+    caput [options] <PV name> <value> ...
+    caput -a [options] <PV name> <no of elements> <value> ...
+
+## Description
+
+Put value to a PV.
+
+The specified value is written to the PV (as a string). The PV's value is read
+before and after the write operation and printed as "Old" and "New" values on
+stdout.
+
+There are two variants to the arguments for this command. For the scalar
+variant without the {option}`-a` flag, all the value arguments provided after
+the PV name are concatenated with a single space character between them, and
+the resulting string (up to 40 characters long unless the {option}`-S` flag is
+given) is written to the specified PV.
+
+The array variant with the {option}`-a` flag writes an array of string values
+to the specified PV. The numeric argument giving the number of array elements
+is actually ignored, the array length to be written is actually controlled by
+the number of values provided on the command line.
+
+## Options
+
+::: {option} -h
+Print usage information
+:::
+
+### CA options
+
+::: {option} -w <sec>
+Wait time, specifies longer CA timeout, default is 1.0 second.
+:::
+
+::: {option} -c
+Asynchronous get (use ca_get_callback instead of ca_get).
+:::
+
+::: {option} -p <prio>
+CA priority (0--99, default 0=lowest)
+:::
+
+### Format options
+
+::: {option} -t
+Terse mode --- print only successfully written value, without name.
+:::
+
+::: {option} -l
+Long mode `name timestamp value stat sevr` (read PVs as `DBR_TIME_xxx`)
+:::
+
+### Enum Format
+
+By default: Auto --- try value as ENUM string, then as index number
+
+::: {option} -n
+Force interpretation of values as numbers
+:::
+
+::: {option} -s
+Force interpretation of values as strings
+:::
+
+### Arrays
+
+By default: put scalar
+
+Value format: all value arguments concatenated with spaces
+
+::: {option} -S
+Put string as an array of chars (long string)
+:::
+
+::: {option} -a
+Put array
+
+Value format: number of values, then list of values
