<EM>Terminfo</EM> describes terminals by giving a set of capabilities which they
have, by specifying how to perform screen operations, and by specifying
padding requirements and initialization sequences. This describes

The XSI Curses standard added these hardcopy capabilities. They were
used in some post-4.1 versions of System V curses, e.g., Solaris 2.5
binary-compatible with System V terminfo entries after SVr4.1; beware!

We begin each escape sequence by turning off any existing modes, since
there is no quick way to determine whether they are active. Standout
4410v1 added. This alternate character set may be specified by the
<STRONG>acsc</STRONG> capability.

For example, on many IBM PC consoles, the underline attribute collides
with the foreground color blue and is not available in color mode.
