Bootstrap 4 framework layout question

Ok going to really show my ignorance now, but i really just can not figure this one out

I have 5 columns in my footer in a Container > Row > Column layout
If I use this code

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col">Text 1</div>
    <div class="col">Text 2</div>
    <div class="col">Text 3</div>
    <div class="col">Text 4</div>
    <div class="col">Text 5</div>
  </div>
</div>


This screenshot is how it looks with the above code in place, and is how i would like it to remain. This is the xl version @ 1200px wide


This screenshot is how it looks in the lg version @ 992px wide and I am happy with it.


This screenshot is how it looks in the md version @ 768px wide and I would rather change it’s layout a little


This screenshot is how it looks in the sm version @ 576px wide and i would rather change it’s layout


This screenshot is how it looks in the col- version that used to be knows as xs @ 400px wide and i would rather change it’s layout.

It seems like this should be fairly simple, but because it is 5 columns obviously there is no division that will work with the 12 column layout, I start off with the mobile first approach here, and here is my code

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-6 col-md-4 col-lg">Text 1</div>
    <div class="col-6 col-md-4 col-lg">Text 2</div>
    <div class="col-6 col-md-4 col-lg">Text 3</div>
    <div class="col-6 col-md-4 col-lg">Text 4</div>
    <div class="col-6 col-md-4 col-lg">Text 5</div>
  </div>
</div>


I am happy with this @ 400px wide


I am happy with this @ 576px wide


At md it now takes the col-md-4 instruction from 768px wide and up

Now here is where my concern is col-lg NOT col-lg-auto gives me the result i want for lg and xl as per these 2 screenshots, so all from 992px and up look like what i want


992px wide


1200px wide

Wonderful, but if I look at the Botstrap 4 docs I can not find mention of col-lg being an allowable class, if i look at google chrome browsers inspect it is available in their list

Firstly, can i use col-lg as I have, and secondly can anybody direct me to the Bootstrap 4 docs that might talk about this class and its possible differences of col-lg and col-lg-auto so I can understand why one looks great and the other does not.
