If no options are specified and zero or one \fIterminal-types\fP are
specified,
the
\fB\-I\fP option will be assumed.

the \fB\-d\fP option will be assumed.

\fB@INFOCMP@\fP compares the \fBterminfo\fP description of the first terminal
\fIterminal-type\fP with each of the descriptions given by the entries
for the other terminal's \fIterminal-types\fP.
If a capability is defined for only one of the
terminals, the value returned depends on the type of the capability:
.bP
-\fBF\fP for missing boolean variables
+\fBF\fP for missing Boolean variables
.bP
\fBNULL\fP for missing integer or string variables
.PP
If no \fIterminal-types\fP are given,
\fB@INFOCMP@\fP uses the environment variable \fITERM\fP
for each of the \fIterminal-types\fP.
