Compiled terminfo descriptions are placed under the direc-
tory <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG>. Two configurations are sup-
ported (when building the ncurses libraries):
existing directory, and hashed database otherwise.

The format has been chosen so that it will be the same on
all hardware. An 8 or more bit byte is assumed, but no
assumptions about byte ordering or sign extension are
section. Each string is null terminated.

The previous section describes the conventional terminfo
binary format. With some minor variations of the offsets
(see PORTABILITY), the same binary format is used in all
e.g., booleans, then numbers and finally strings.

Note that it is possible for <EM>setupterm</EM> to expect a differ-
ent set of capabilities than are actually present in the
file. Either the database may have been updated since
