+ A terminal description begins with one or more terminal
+ names separated by "|" (vertical bars). On initialization
+ of the curses or terminfo interfaces, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_terminfo.3x.html">setupterm(3x)</A></STRONG> copies
+ the terminal names to the array <STRONG>ttytype</STRONG>.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Terminfo-Names">Terminfo Names</a></H3><PRE>
In addition to the variables, <STRONG><term.h></STRONG> also defines a sym-
- bol for each terminfo capability <EM>long</EM> <EM>name</EM>. These are in
+ bol for each terminfo capability <EM>long</EM> <EM>name</EM>. These are in
terms of the symbol <STRONG>CUR</STRONG>, 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 <STRONG><A HREF="curs_terminfo.3x.html">tigetstr(3x)</A></STRONG>, etc.
+ The actual definition of <STRONG>CUR</STRONG> depends upon the implementa-
+ tion, but each terminfo library provides these long names
+ defined to point into the current terminal description
+ loaded into memory.
