These routines are included as a conversion aid for pro-
grams that use the <EM>termcap</EM> library. Their parameters are
the same and the routines are emulated using the <EM>terminfo</EM>
bilities of entries for which a terminfo entry has been
compiled.

The <STRONG>tgetent</STRONG> routine loads the entry for <EM>name</EM>. It returns:

terminal description has cursor-addressing.

The <STRONG>tgetflag</STRONG> routine gets the boolean entry for <EM>id</EM>, or ze-
ro if it is not available.
Only the first two characters of the <STRONG>id</STRONG> parameter of <STRONG>tget-</STRONG>
<STRONG>flag</STRONG>, <STRONG>tgetnum</STRONG> and <STRONG>tgetstr</STRONG> are compared in lookups.

The <STRONG>tgoto</STRONG> routine instantiates the parameters into the
given capability. The output from this routine is to be
passed to <STRONG>tputs</STRONG>.
manual page. It can retrieve capabilities by either term-
cap or terminfo name.

+<H3><a name="h3-GLOBAL-VARIABLES">GLOBAL VARIABLES</a></H3><PRE>
The variables <STRONG>PC</STRONG>, <STRONG>UP</STRONG> and <STRONG>BC</STRONG> are set by <STRONG>tgetent</STRONG> to the ter-
minfo entry's data for <STRONG>pad_char</STRONG>, <STRONG>cursor_up</STRONG> and
<STRONG>backspace_if_not_bs</STRONG>, respectively. <STRONG>UP</STRONG> is not used by

Except where explicitly noted, routines that return an in-
