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.
