- On initialization of the curses or terminfo interfaces,
- setupterm(3x) copies the terminal name to the array tty-
- type.
+ A terminal description begins with one or more terminal
+ names separated by "|" (vertical bars). On initialization
+ of the curses or terminfo interfaces, setupterm(3x) copies
+ the terminal names to the array ttytype.
In addition to the variables, <term.h> also defines a sym-
- bol for each terminfo capability long name. These are in
+ bol for each terminfo capability long name. These are in
terms of the symbol CUR, which is defined
- #define CUR cur_term->type.
+ #define CUR ((TERMTYPE *)(cur_term))->
These symbols provide a faster method of accessing termin-
fo capabilities than using tigetstr(3x), etc.
+ The actual definition of CUR depends upon the implementa-
+ tion, but each terminfo library provides these long names
+ defined to point into the current terminal description
+ loaded into memory.

The low-level terminfo interface is initialized using
