+ list published by X/Open Curses. For example, ncurses can be con-
+ figured with tables which match the terminal databases for AIX, HP-
+ UX or OSF/1, rather than the default Solaris-like configuration.
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> In SVr4 curses and ncurses, the terminal database is defined at
+ compile-time using a text file which lists the different terminal
+ capabilities.
+
+ In principle, the text-file can be extended, but doing this
+ requires recompiling and reinstalling the library. The text-file
+ used in ncurses for terminal capabilities includes details for var-
+ ious systems past the documented X/Open Curses features. For exam-
+ ple, ncurses supports these capabilities in each configuration:
+
+ memory_lock
+ (meml) lock memory above cursor
+
+ memory_unlock
+ (memu) unlock memory
+
+ box_chars_1
+ (box1) box characters primary set
+
+ The memory lock/unlock capabilities were included because they were
+ used in the X11R6 terminal description for <STRONG>xterm</STRONG>. The <EM>box1</EM> capa-
+ bility is used in tic to help with terminal descriptions written
+ for AIX.
During the 1990s, some users were reluctant to use terminfo in spite of
its performance advantages over termcap:
ticipated terminal improvements (or required them to reuse existing
capabilities as a workaround).

.SH DESCRIPTION
.SS Background
.PP
While ncurses' repertoire of predefined capabilities is closest to Solaris,
Solaris's terminfo database has a few differences from
the list published by X/Open Curses.
+For example, ncurses can be configured with tables which match the
+terminal databases for AIX, HP-UX or OSF/1,
+rather than the default Solaris-like configuration.
+.bP
+In SVr4 curses and ncurses,
+the terminal database is defined at compile-time using a text file
+which lists the different terminal capabilities.
+.IP
+In principle, the text-file can be extended,
+but doing this requires recompiling and reinstalling the library.
+The text-file used in ncurses for terminal capabilities includes
+details for various systems past the documented X/Open Curses features.
+For example, ncurses supports these capabilities in each configuration:
+.RS 8
+.TP 5
+memory_lock
+(meml)
+lock memory above cursor
+.TP 5
+memory_unlock
+(memu)
+unlock memory
+.TP 5
+box_chars_1
+(box1)
+box characters primary set
+.RE
+.IP
+The memory lock/unlock capabilities were included because they were used
+in the X11R6 terminal description for \fBxterm\fP.
+The \fIbox1\fP capability is used in @TIC@ to help with terminal descriptions
+written for AIX.
.PP
During the 1990s, some users were reluctant to use terminfo
in spite of its performance advantages over termcap:
These are referred to as \fIuser-defined capabilities\fP because no
modifications to the toolset's predefined capability names are needed.

option \*(``\-x\*('' to control whether the nonstandard capabilities
