+ are in the same order as the file <term.h>.
- (6) the size, in bytes, of the string table.
+ Short integers are signed, in the range -32768 to 32767. They are
+ stored as two 8-bit bytes. The first byte contains the least
+ significant 8 bits of the value, and the second byte contains the most
+ significant 8 bits. (Thus, the value represented is 256*second+first.)
+ This format corresponds to the hardware of the VAX and PDP-11 (that is,
+ little-endian machines). Machines where this does not correspond to
+ the hardware must read the integers as two bytes and compute the
+ little-endian value.
- Short integers are stored in two 8-bit bytes. The first byte contains
- the least significant 8 bits of the value, and the second byte contains
- the most significant 8 bits. (Thus, the value represented is 256*sec-
- ond+first.) The value -1 is represented by the two bytes 0377, 0377;
- other negative values are illegal. This value generally means that the
- corresponding capability is missing from this terminal. Note that this
- format corresponds to the hardware of the VAX and PDP-11 (that is, lit-
- tle-endian machines). Machines where this does not correspond to the
- hardware must read the integers as two bytes and compute the little-
- endian value.
+ Numbers in a terminal description, whether they are entries in the
+ <EM>numbers</EM> or <EM>strings</EM> table, are positive integers. Boolean flags are
+ treated as positive one-byte integers. In each case, those positive
+ integers represent a terminal capability. The terminal compiler tic
+ uses negative integers to handle the cases where a capability is not
+ available:
- The terminal names section comes next. It contains the first line of
- the terminfo description, listing the various names for the terminal,
- separated by the "|" character. The section is terminated with an
- ASCII NUL character.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> If a capability is absent from this terminal, tic stores a -1 in
+ the corresponding table.
- The boolean flags have one byte for each flag. This byte is either 0
- or 1 as the flag is present or absent. The capabilities are in the
- same order as the file <term.h>.
+ The integer value -1 is represented by two bytes 0377, 0377.
+ Absent Boolean values are represented by the byte 0 (false).
- Between the boolean section and the number section, a null byte will be
- inserted, if necessary, to ensure that the number section begins on an
- even byte (this is a relic of the PDP-11's word-addressed architecture,
- originally designed in to avoid IOT traps induced by addressing a word
- on an odd byte boundary). All short integers are aligned on a short
- word boundary.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> If a capability has been canceled from this terminal, tic stores a
+ -2 in the corresponding table.
- The numbers section is similar to the flags section. Each capability
- takes up two bytes, and is stored as a little-endian short integer. If
- the value represented is -1, the capability is taken to be missing.
+ The integer value -2 is represented by two bytes 0377, 0376.
+ The Boolean value -2 is represented by the byte 0376.
- The strings section is also similar. Each capability is stored as a
- short integer, in the format above. A value of -1 means the capability
- is missing. Otherwise, the value is taken as an offset from the begin-
- ning of the string table. Special characters in ^X or \c notation are
- stored in their interpreted form, not the printing representation.
- Padding information $<nn> and parameter information %x are stored
- intact in uninterpreted form.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> Other negative values are illegal.
- The final section is the string table. It contains all the values of
- string capabilities referenced in the string section. Each string is
- null terminated.
+ The <EM>terminal</EM> <EM>names</EM> section comes after the <EM>header</EM>. It contains the
+ first line of the terminfo description, listing the various names for
+ the terminal, separated by the "|" character. The <EM>terminal</EM> <EM>names</EM>
+ section is terminated with an ASCII NUL character.
+ The <EM>Boolean</EM> <EM>flags</EM> section has one byte for each flag. Boolean
+ capabilities are either 1 or 0 (true or false) according to whether the
+ terminal supports the given capability or not.

The previous section describes the conventional terminfo binary format.
- With some minor variations of the offsets (see PORTABILITY), the same
- binary format is used in all modern UNIX systems. Each system uses a
- predefined set of boolean, number or string capabilities.
-
- The ncurses libraries and applications support extended terminfo binary
- format, allowing users to define capabilities which are loaded at run-
- time. This extension is made possible by using the fact that the other
- implementations stop reading the terminfo data when they have reached
- the end of the size given in the header. ncurses checks the size, and
- if it exceeds that due to the predefined data, continues to parse
- according to its own scheme.

+ On occasion, 16-bit signed integers are not large enough. With <EM>ncurses</EM>
+ 6.1, a new format was introduced by making a few changes to the legacy
+ format:
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a different magic number (octal 01036)

- Despite the consistent use of little-endian for numbers and the other-

+ X/Open Curses does not specify a format for the terminfo database.
+ System V curses used a directory-tree of binary files, one per terminal
+ description.
+

+ The magic number in a binary terminfo file is the first 16-bits (two
+ bytes). Besides making it more reliable for the library to check that
+ a file is terminfo, utilities such as <STRONG>file(1)</STRONG> also use that to tell
+ what the file-format is. System V defined more than one magic number,
+ with 0433, 0435 as screen-dumps (see <STRONG><A HREF="scr_dump.5.html">scr_dump(5)</A></STRONG>). This implementation
+ uses 01036 as a continuation of that sequence, but with a different
