    Terminfo Entry Syntax

    +       Entries in terminfo consist of a sequence of fields:
+
+       o   Each  field ends with a comma "," (embedded commas may
+           be escaped with a backslash or written as "\054").
+
+       o   White space between fields is ignored.
+
+       o   The first field in a  terminfo  entry  begins  in  the
+           first column.
+
+       o   Newlines  and  leading whitespace (spaces or tabs) may
+           be used for formatting entries for readability.  These
+           are removed from parsed entries.
+
+           The infocmp -f and -W options relies on this to format
+           if-then-else expressions, or to enforce maximum  line-
+           width.   The  resulting formatted terminal description
+           can be read by tic.
+
+       o   The first field for  each  terminal  gives  the  names
+           which  are  known  for  the terminal, separated by "|"
+           characters.
+
+           The first name given is the most  common  abbreviation
+           for  the  terminal  (its  primary name), the last name
+           given should be a long name fully identifying the ter-
+           minal  (see  longname(3x)), and all others are treated
+           as synonyms (aliases) for the primary terminal name.
+
+           X/Open Curses advises that  all  names  but  the  last
+           should  be  in  lower  case and contain no blanks; the
+           last name may well contain upper case and  blanks  for
+           readability.
+
+           This  implementation is not so strict; it allows mixed
+           case in the primary name and  aliases.   If  the  last
+           name has no embedded blanks, it allows that to be both
+           an alias and a verbose name (but will warn about  this
+           ambiguity).
+

    Terminfo Capabilities Syntax

    +       The terminfo entry consists of several capabilities, i.e.,
+       features that the terminal has, or methods for  exercising
+       the terminal's features.
+
+       After  the first field (giving the name(s) of the terminal
+       entry), there should be one  or  more  capability  fields.
+       These  are  boolean,  numeric  or string names with corre-
+       sponding values:
+
+       o   Boolean capabilities are true when present, false when
+           absent.   There is no explicit value for boolean capa-
+           bilities.
+
+       o   Numeric capabilities have a "#"  following  the  name,
+           then an unsigned decimal integer value.
+
+       o   String  capabilities  have  a  "=" following the name,
+           then an string of characters making up the  capability
+           value.
+
+           String  capabilities can be split into multiple lines,
+           just as the fields comprising a terminal entry can  be
+           split  into  multiple  lines.   While  blanks  between
+           fields are ignored, blanks embedded  within  a  string
+           value  are  retained,  except  for leading blanks on a
+           line.
+
+       Any capability can be canceled, i.e., suppressed from  the
+       terminal entry, by following its name with "@" rather than
+       a capability value.
+
+
+

    Similar Terminals

    +       If there are two very similar terminals, one (the variant)
+       can  be  defined  as  being just like the other (the base)
+       with certain exceptions.  In the definition of  the  vari-
+       ant,  the string capability use can be given with the name
+       of the base terminal:
+
+       o   The capabilities given before use  override  those  in
+           the base type named by use.
+
+       o   If  there  are  multiple  use  capabilities,  they are
+           merged in reverse order.  That is, the  rightmost  use
+           reference  is  processed  first,  then  the one to its
+           left, and so forth.
+
+       o   Capabilities given explicitly in  the  entry  override
+           those brought in by use references.
+
+       A capability can be canceled by placing xx@ to the left of
+       the use reference that imports it, where xx is  the  capa-
+       bility.  For example, the entry
+
+              2621-nl, smkx@, rmkx@, use=2621,
+
+       defines  a  2621-nl  that  does  not have the smkx or rmkx
+       capabilities, and hence does not turn on the function  key
+       labels  when in visual mode.  This is useful for different
+       modes for a terminal, or for different user preferences.
+
+       An entry included via use can contain  canceled  capabili-
+       ties,  which have the same effect as if those cancels were
+       inline in the using terminal entry.

        ncurses addresses this limitation by allowing user-defined

    Insert/Delete Character

    -       There are two basic kinds of  intelligent  terminals  with

    Similar Terminals

    -       If there are two very similar terminals, one (the variant)
-       can be defined as being just like  the  other  (the  base)
-       with  certain  exceptions.  In the definition of the vari-
-       ant, the string capability use can be given with the  name
-       of  the  base terminal.  The capabilities given before use
-       override those in the base type named by  use.   If  there
-       are  multiple use capabilities, they are merged in reverse
-       order.  That is, the rightmost use reference is  processed
-       first,  then the one to its left, and so forth.  Capabili-
-       ties given explicitly in the entry override those  brought
-       in by use references.
-
-       A capability can be canceled by placing xx@ to the left of
-       the use reference that imports it, where xx is  the  capa-
-       bility.  For example, the entry
-
-              2621-nl, smkx@, rmkx@, use=2621,
-
-       defines  a  2621-nl  that  does  not have the smkx or rmkx
-       capabilities, and hence does not turn on the function  key
-       labels  when in visual mode.  This is useful for different
-       modes for a terminal, or for different user preferences.

+After the first field (giving the name(s) of the terminal entry),

+These are boolean, numeric or string names with corresponding values:

+String capabilities have a \*(``=\*('' following the name,

+String capabilities can be split into multiple lines,

+Any capability can be \fIcanceled\fP,
