-       <EM>Terminfo</EM>  is  a  data  base  describing terminals, used by
-       screen-oriented programs  such  as  <STRONG>nvi(1)</STRONG>,  <STRONG>rogue(1)</STRONG>  and
-       libraries  such  as <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>.  <EM>Terminfo</EM> describes termi-
-       nals by giving a set of capabilities which they  have,  by
-       specifying how to perform screen operations, and by speci-
-       fying padding requirements and  initialization  sequences.
-       This describes <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> version 6.0 (patch 20151024).
-
-       Entries in <EM>terminfo</EM> consist of a sequence of `,' separated
-       fields (embedded commas may be escaped with a backslash or
-       notated  as \054).  White space after the `,' separator is
-       ignored.  The first entry  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, the last name given should
-       be a long name fully identifying  the  terminal,  and  all
-       others  are  understood as synonyms for the terminal name.
-       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.
-
-       Lines beginning with a `#' in the first column are treated
-       as  comments.  While comment lines are legal at any point,
-       the output of <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> and <STRONG>infotocap</STRONG>  (aliases  for  <STRONG>tic</STRONG>)
-       will move comments so they occur only between entries.
-
-       Newlines  and  leading  tabs  may  be  used for formatting
-       entries for readability.  These are  removed  from  parsed
-       entries.   The  <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> <STRONG>-f</STRONG> option relies on this to format
-       if-then-else expressions: the result can be read by <STRONG>tic</STRONG>.
-
-       Terminal names (except for the last, verbose entry) should
-       be chosen using the following conventions.  The particular
-       piece of hardware making up the  terminal  should  have  a
-       root  name,  thus  "hp2621".  This name should not contain
-       hyphens.  Modes that the hardware can be in, or user pref-
-       erences,  should  be indicated by appending a hyphen and a
-       mode suffix.  Thus, a vt100 in 132 column  mode  would  be
-       vt100-w.  The following suffixes should be used where pos-
-       sible:
-
-      <STRONG>Suffix</STRONG>                  <STRONG>Meaning</STRONG>                   <STRONG>Example</STRONG>
-      -<EM>nn</EM>      Number of lines on the screen            aaa-60
-      -<EM>n</EM>p      Number of pages of memory                c100-4p
-      -am      With automargins (usually the default)   vt100-am

+</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
+       <EM>Terminfo</EM>  is  a  database describing terminals, used by screen-oriented
+       programs  such  as  <STRONG>nvi(1)</STRONG>,  <STRONG>lynx(1)</STRONG>,   <STRONG>mutt(1)</STRONG>,   and   other   curses
+       applications,  using  high-level calls to libraries such as <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>.
+       It is also used via low-level calls by  non-curses  applications  which
+       may  be  screen-oriented  (such  as  <STRONG><A HREF="clear.1.html">clear(1)</A></STRONG>)  or  non-screen (such as
+       <STRONG><A HREF="tabs.1.html">tabs(1)</A></STRONG>).
 
+       <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.
 
-</PRE>
-<H3><a name="h3-Predefined-Capabilities">Predefined Capabilities</a></H3><PRE>
-       The  following  is  a  complete  table of the capabilities
-       included in a terminfo description block and available  to
-       terminfo-using code.  In each line of the table,
-
-       The  <STRONG>variable</STRONG>  is the name by which the programmer (at the
-       terminfo level) accesses the capability.
-
-       The <STRONG>capname</STRONG> is the short name used  in  the  text  of  the
-       database,  and  is used by a person updating the database.
-       Whenever possible, capnames are chosen to be the  same  as
-       or similar to the ANSI X3.64-1979 standard (now superseded
-       by ECMA-48, which uses identical or very  similar  names).
-       Semantics are also intended to match those of the specifi-
-       cation.
-
-       The termcap code is the old <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> capability name  (some
-       capabilities are new, and have names which termcap did not
-       originate).
-
-       Capability names have no hard length limit, but an  infor-
-       mal  limit  of  5 characters has been adopted to keep them
-       short and to allow the tabs in the  source  file  <STRONG>Caps</STRONG>  to
-       line up nicely.
-
-       Finally,  the  description  field  attempts  to convey the
-       semantics of the capability.  You may find some  codes  in
-       the description field:
+       This manual describes <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> version 6.2 (patch 20210925).
+
+
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Terminfo-Entry-Syntax">Terminfo Entry Syntax</a></H3><PRE>
+       Entries in <EM>terminfo</EM> consist of a sequence of fields:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Each field ends with a comma "," (embedded commas  may  be  escaped
+           with a backslash or written as "\054").
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   White space between fields is ignored.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The first field in a <EM>terminfo</EM> entry begins in the first column.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Newlines  and  leading  whitespace (spaces or tabs) may be used for
+           formatting entries for readability.  These are removed from  parsed
+           entries.
+
+           The  <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG>  <STRONG>-f</STRONG> and <STRONG>-W</STRONG> options rely on this to format if-then-else
+           expressions, or  to  enforce  maximum  line-width.   The  resulting
+           formatted terminal description can be read by <STRONG>tic</STRONG>.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   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 terminal  (see  <STRONG><A HREF="curs_termattrs.3x.html">longname(3x)</A></STRONG>),  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).
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Lines  beginning  with  a  "#"  in  the first column are treated as
+           comments.
+
+           While comment lines are legal at any point, the output of <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG>
+           and  <STRONG>infotocap</STRONG>  (aliases  for <STRONG>tic</STRONG>) will move comments so they occur
+           only between entries.
+
+       Terminal names (except for the last, verbose entry)  should  be  chosen
+       using  the  following  conventions.   The  particular piece of hardware
+       making up the terminal should have a root name,  thus  "hp2621".   This
+       name should not contain hyphens.  Modes that the hardware can be in, or
+       user preferences, should be indicated by appending a hyphen and a  mode
+       suffix.   Thus,  a  vt100  in  132-column  mode  would be vt100-w.  The
+       following suffixes should be used where possible:
+
+            <STRONG>Suffix</STRONG>                  <STRONG>Meaning</STRONG>                   <STRONG>Example</STRONG>

+       The terminfo entry consists of  several  <EM>capabilities</EM>,  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 <EM>capability</EM> fields.  These are boolean, numeric or
+       string names with corresponding values:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Boolean capabilities are true  when  present,  false  when  absent.
+           There is no explicit value for boolean capabilities.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Numeric  capabilities  have  a  "#"  following  the  name,  then an
+           unsigned decimal integer value.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   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  <EM>canceled</EM>,  i.e., suppressed from the terminal
+       entry, by following its name with "@" rather than a capability value.
+
+
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Similar-Terminals">Similar Terminals</a></H3><PRE>
+       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 variant,  the  string  capability
+       <STRONG>use</STRONG> can be given with the name of the base terminal:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The  capabilities  given before <STRONG>use</STRONG> override those in the base type
+           named by <STRONG>use</STRONG>.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If there are multiple <STRONG>use</STRONG> capabilities, they are merged in  reverse
+           order.   That  is,  the rightmost <STRONG>use</STRONG> reference is processed first,
+           then the one to its left, and so forth.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Capabilities given explicitly in the entry override  those  brought
+           in by <STRONG>use</STRONG> references.
+
+       A  capability  can  be  canceled  by placing <STRONG>xx@</STRONG> to the left of the use
+       reference that imports it, where <EM>xx</EM> is the  capability.   For  example,
+       the entry
+
+              2621-nl, smkx@, rmkx@, use=2621,
+
+       defines a 2621-nl that does not have the <STRONG>smkx</STRONG> or <STRONG>rmkx</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>use</STRONG> can contain canceled capabilities, which have
+       the  same  effect as if those cancels were inline in the using terminal
+       entry.

+       The following is a complete table of the  capabilities  included  in  a
+       terminfo  description  block  and available to terminfo-using code.  In
+       each line of the table,
+
+       The <STRONG>variable</STRONG> is the name by  which  the  programmer  (at  the  terminfo
+       level) accesses the capability.
+
+       The  <STRONG>capname</STRONG> is the short name used in the text of the database, and is
+       used by a person updating the database.   Whenever  possible,  capnames
+       are chosen to be the same as or similar to the ANSI X3.64-1979 standard
+       (now superseded by  ECMA-48,  which  uses  identical  or  very  similar
+       names).    Semantics   are   also   intended  to  match  those  of  the
+       specification.
+
+       The termcap code is the old <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> capability name (some  capabilities
+       are new, and have names which termcap did not originate).
+
+       Capability  names have no hard length limit, but an informal limit of 5
+       characters has been adopted to keep them short and to allow the tabs in
+       the source file <STRONG>Caps</STRONG> to line up nicely.
+
+       Finally,  the description field attempts to convey the semantics of the
+       capability.  You may find some codes in the description field:
 
        (P)    indicates that padding may be specified
 
-       #[1-9] in  the description field indicates that the string
-              is passed through tparm with parms as given (#<EM>i</EM>).
+       #[1-9] in the description field indicates that  the  string  is  passed
+              through <STRONG><A HREF="curs_terminfo.3x.html">tparm(3x)</A></STRONG> with parameters as given (#<EM>i</EM>).
 
-       (P*)   indicates that padding may vary  in  proportion  to
-              the number of lines affected
+              If  no  parameters  are  listed  in the description, passing the
+              string through <STRONG><A HREF="curs_terminfo.3x.html">tparm(3x)</A></STRONG> may give unexpected results,  e.g.,  if
+              it contains percent (%%) signs.
+
+       (P*)   indicates  that  padding may vary in proportion to the number of
+              lines affected
 
        (#<EM>i</EM>)   indicates the <EM>i</EM>th parameter.

-        The XSI Curses standard added  these  hardcopy  capabili-
-        ties.  They were used in some post-4.1 versions of System
-        V curses, e.g., Solaris 2.5 and IRIX 6.x.  Except for <STRONG>YI</STRONG>,
-        the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> termcap names for them are invented.  Accord-
-        ing to the XSI Curses  standard,  they  have  no  termcap
-        names.  If your compiled terminfo entries use these, they
-        may not  be  binary-compatible  with  System  V  terminfo
-        entries after SVr4.1; beware!

-       The  preceding section listed the <EM>predefined</EM> capabilities.
-       They deal with some  special  features  for  terminals  no
-       longer  (or  possibly never) produced.  Occasionally there
-       are special features of newer terminals which are  awkward
-       or impossible to represent by reusing the predefined capa-
-       bilities.
-
-       <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> addresses this limitation by allowing user-defined
-       capabilities.  The <STRONG>tic</STRONG> and <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> programs provide the <STRONG>-x</STRONG>
-       option for this purpose.   When  <STRONG>-x</STRONG>  is  set,  <STRONG>tic</STRONG>  treats
-       unknown  capabilities  as  user-defined.   That is, if <STRONG>tic</STRONG>
-       encounters a capability name which it does not  recognize,
-       it  infers  its  type (boolean, number or string) from the
-       syntax and makes an extended table entry for that capabil-
-       ity.   The <STRONG>use_extended_names</STRONG> function makes this informa-
-       tion conditionally available to applications.  The ncurses
-       library  provides the data leaving most of the behavior to
-       applications:
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   User-defined capability strings whose name begins with
-           "k" are treated as function keys.
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The  types (boolean, number, string) determined by <STRONG>tic</STRONG>
-           can be inferred by successful calls on <STRONG>tigetflag</STRONG>, etc.
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If the capability name happens to be  two  characters,
-           the  capability  is also available through the termcap
-           interface.
-
-       While termcap is said to be extensible because it does not
-       use  a  predefined set of capabilities, in practice it has
-       been limited  to  the  capabilities  defined  by  terminfo
-       implementations.   As  a  rule,  user-defined capabilities
-       intended for use by termcap applications should be limited
-       to  booleans  and  numbers  to avoid running past the 1023
-       byte limit assumed by termcap  implementations  and  their
-       applications.   In  particular, providing extended sets of
-       function keys (past the 60 numbered keys and  the  handful
-       of special named keys) is best done using the longer names
-       available using terminfo.

+        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
+        and  IRIX  6.x.  Except for <STRONG>YI</STRONG>, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> termcap names for them are
+        invented.  According to the XSI Curses standard, they have no  termcap
+        names.   If  your compiled terminfo entries use these, they may not be
+        binary-compatible with System V terminfo entries after SVr4.1; beware!

+       The preceding section listed the <EM>predefined</EM>  capabilities.   They  deal
+       with  some special features for terminals no longer (or possibly never)
+       produced.  Occasionally there are special features of  newer  terminals
+       which  are awkward or impossible to represent by reusing the predefined
+       capabilities.
+
+       <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>   addresses   this   limitation   by   allowing    user-defined
+       capabilities.   The  <STRONG>tic</STRONG> and <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> programs provide the <STRONG>-x</STRONG> option for
+       this purpose.  When <STRONG>-x</STRONG> is set, <STRONG>tic</STRONG> treats unknown capabilities as user-
+       defined.   That  is,  if <STRONG>tic</STRONG> encounters a capability name which it does
+       not recognize, it infers its type (boolean, number or string) from  the
+       syntax  and  makes  an  extended  table entry for that capability.  The
+       <STRONG><A HREF="curs_extend.3x.html">use_extended_names(3x)</A></STRONG> function makes  this  information  conditionally
+       available  to  applications.   The  ncurses  library  provides the data
+       leaving most of the behavior to applications:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   User-defined capability strings whose  name  begins  with  "k"  are
+           treated as function keys.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The  types  (boolean,  number,  string)  determined  by  <STRONG>tic</STRONG> can be
+           inferred by successful calls on <STRONG>tigetflag</STRONG>, etc.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If the capability name happens to be two characters, the capability
+           is also available through the termcap interface.
+
+       While  termcap  is  said  to  be  extensible  because it does not use a
+       predefined set of capabilities, in practice it has been limited to  the
+       capabilities  defined  by  terminfo  implementations.  As a rule, user-
+       defined capabilities intended for use by termcap applications should be
+       limited  to  booleans  and  numbers to avoid running past the 1023 byte
+       limit assumed by termcap implementations and  their  applications.   In
+       particular,  providing  extended  sets  of  function  keys (past the 60
+       numbered keys and the handful of special named keys) is best done using
+       the longer names available using terminfo.

-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If TERMINFO is not set, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> will instead  look  in

-<H3><a name="h3-Preparing-Descriptions">Preparing Descriptions</a></H3><PRE>
-       We  now  outline how to prepare descriptions of terminals.
-       The most effective way to prepare a  terminal  description
-       is  by  imitating the description of a similar terminal in
-       <EM>terminfo</EM> and to build up a  description  gradually,  using
-       partial descriptions with <EM>vi</EM> or some other screen-oriented
-       program to check that they are correct.  Be aware  that  a
-       very unusual terminal may expose deficiencies in the abil-
-       ity of the <EM>terminfo</EM> file to describe it  or  bugs  in  the
-       screen-handling code of the test program.
-
-       To  get the padding for insert line right (if the terminal
-       manufacturer did not document it) a severe test is to edit
-       a  large file at 9600 baud, delete 16 or so lines from the
-       middle of the screen, then hit the "u" key  several  times
-       quickly.   If the terminal messes up, more padding is usu-
-       ally needed.  A similar test can be used for insert  char-
-       acter.
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   A  "/"  suffix indicates that the padding is mandatory and forces a
+           delay of the given number of milliseconds even on devices for which
+           <STRONG>xon</STRONG> is present to indicate flow control.
 
+       Sometimes  individual  capabilities must be commented out.  To do this,
+       put a period before the capability name.  For example, see  the  second
+       <STRONG>ind</STRONG> in the example above.

-       The  number  of  columns  on each line for the terminal is
-       given by the <STRONG>cols</STRONG> numeric capability.  If the terminal  is
-       a  CRT, then the number of lines on the screen is given by
-       the <STRONG>lines</STRONG> capability.  If the terminal wraps around to the
-       beginning  of the next line when it reaches the right mar-
-       gin, then it should have the <STRONG>am</STRONG> capability.  If the termi-
-       nal  can  clear its screen, leaving the cursor in the home
-       position, then this is given by the <STRONG>clear</STRONG> string  capabil-
-       ity.   If the terminal overstrikes (rather than clearing a
-       position when a character is struck over) then  it  should
-       have  the  <STRONG>os</STRONG>  capability.   If the terminal is a printing
-       terminal, with no soft copy unit, give it both <STRONG>hc</STRONG> and  <STRONG>os</STRONG>.
-       (<STRONG>os</STRONG>  applies to storage scope terminals, such as TEKTRONIX
-       4010 series, as well as hard copy and APL terminals.)   If
-       there is a code to move the cursor to the left edge of the
-       current row, give this as <STRONG>cr</STRONG>.  (Normally this will be car-
-       riage  return,  control M.)  If there is a code to produce
-       an audible signal (bell, beep, etc) give this as <STRONG>bel</STRONG>.
-
-       If there is a code to move the cursor one position to  the
-       left  (such  as backspace) that capability should be given
-       as <STRONG>cub1</STRONG>.  Similarly, codes to move to the right,  up,  and
-       down should be given as <STRONG>cuf1</STRONG>, <STRONG>cuu1</STRONG>, and <STRONG>cud1</STRONG>.  These local
-       cursor motions should not alter the text they  pass  over,
-       for  example,  you would not normally use "<STRONG>cuf1</STRONG>= " because
-       the space would erase the character moved over.
-
-       A very important point  here  is  that  the  local  cursor
-       motions  encoded in <EM>terminfo</EM> are undefined at the left and
-       top edges  of  a  CRT  terminal.   Programs  should  never
-       attempt  to  backspace  around the left edge, unless <STRONG>bw</STRONG> is
-       given, and never attempt to go up locally off the top.  In
-       order  to  scroll text up, a program will go to the bottom
-       left corner of the screen and send the <STRONG>ind</STRONG> (index) string.
-
-       To scroll text down, a program goes to the top left corner
-       of  the  screen  and  sends the <STRONG>ri</STRONG> (reverse index) string.
-       The strings <STRONG>ind</STRONG> and <STRONG>ri</STRONG> are undefined  when  not  on  their
-       respective corners of the screen.
-
-       Parameterized versions of the scrolling sequences are <STRONG>indn</STRONG>
-       and <STRONG>rin</STRONG> which have the same semantics as <STRONG>ind</STRONG> and <STRONG>ri</STRONG> except
-       that  they take one parameter, and scroll that many lines.
-       They are also undefined except at the appropriate edge  of
-       the screen.
-
-       The  <STRONG>am</STRONG>  capability tells whether the cursor sticks at the
-       right edge of the screen when text  is  output,  but  this
-       does not necessarily apply to a <STRONG>cuf1</STRONG> from the last column.
-       The only local motion which is defined from the left  edge
-       is  if  <STRONG>bw</STRONG>  is  given, then a <STRONG>cub1</STRONG> from the left edge will
-       move to the right edge of the previous row.  If <STRONG>bw</STRONG> is  not
-       given,  the effect is undefined.  This is useful for draw-
-       ing a box around the edge of the screen, for example.   If
-       the  terminal has switch selectable automatic margins, the
-       <EM>terminfo</EM> file usually assumes that this is on;  i.e.,  <STRONG>am</STRONG>.
-       If  the  terminal  has  a command which moves to the first
-       column of the next line, that command can be given as  <STRONG>nel</STRONG>
-       (newline).   It  does not matter if the command clears the
-       remainder of the current line, so if the terminal  has  no
-       <STRONG>cr</STRONG>  and <STRONG>lf</STRONG> it may still be possible to craft a working <STRONG>nel</STRONG>
-       out of one or both of them.
-
-       These  capabilities  suffice  to  describe  hard-copy  and
-       "glass-tty"  terminals.   Thus  the  model  33 teletype is

+       We  now  outline  how  to  prepare descriptions of terminals.  The most
+       effective way to prepare a terminal description  is  by  imitating  the
+       description  of  a  similar  terminal  in  <EM>terminfo</EM>  and  to build up a
+       description gradually, using partial descriptions with <EM>vi</EM> or some other
+       screen-oriented  program to check that they are correct.  Be aware that
+       a very unusual terminal may expose deficiencies in the ability  of  the
+       <EM>terminfo</EM> file to describe it or bugs in the screen-handling code of the
+       test program.
+
+       To get the padding for insert line right (if the terminal  manufacturer
+       did  not  document  it)  a  severe test is to edit a large file at 9600
+       baud, delete 16 or so lines from the middle of the screen, then hit the
+       "u" key several times quickly.  If the terminal messes up, more padding
+       is usually needed.  A similar test can be used for insert character.
+
+
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Basic-Capabilities">Basic Capabilities</a></H3><PRE>
+       The number of columns on each line for the terminal  is  given  by  the
+       <STRONG>cols</STRONG>  numeric capability.  If the terminal is a CRT, then the number of
+       lines on the screen is given by the <STRONG>lines</STRONG> capability.  If the  terminal
+       wraps  around  to  the  beginning  of the next line when it reaches the
+       right margin, then it should have the <STRONG>am</STRONG> capability.  If  the  terminal
+       can  clear  its  screen,  leaving the cursor in the home position, then
+       this is  given  by  the  <STRONG>clear</STRONG>  string  capability.   If  the  terminal
+       overstrikes (rather than clearing a position when a character is struck
+       over) then it should have the <STRONG>os</STRONG> capability.   If  the  terminal  is  a
+       printing terminal, with no soft copy unit, give it both <STRONG>hc</STRONG> and <STRONG>os</STRONG>.  (<STRONG>os</STRONG>
+       applies to storage scope terminals, such as TEKTRONIX 4010  series,  as
+       well  as  hard copy and APL terminals.)  If there is a code to move the
+       cursor to the left edge of the current row, give this as <STRONG>cr</STRONG>.  (Normally
+       this  will  be  carriage  return,  control/M.)   If  there is a code to
+       produce an audible signal (bell, beep, etc) give this as <STRONG>bel</STRONG>.
+
+       If there is a code to move the cursor one position to the left (such as
+       backspace)  that  capability should be given as <STRONG>cub1</STRONG>.  Similarly, codes
+       to move to the right, up, and down should be given as <STRONG>cuf1</STRONG>,  <STRONG>cuu1</STRONG>,  and
+       <STRONG>cud1</STRONG>.   These  local cursor motions should not alter the text they pass
+       over, for example, you would not  normally  use  "<STRONG>cuf1</STRONG>= "  because  the
+       space would erase the character moved over.
+
+       A very important point here is that the local cursor motions encoded in
+       <EM>terminfo</EM> are undefined at the left and top edges  of  a  CRT  terminal.
+       Programs should never attempt to backspace around the left edge, unless
+       <STRONG>bw</STRONG> is given, and never attempt to go up locally off the top.  In  order
+       to  scroll  text up, a program will go to the bottom left corner of the
+       screen and send the <STRONG>ind</STRONG> (index) string.
+
+       To scroll text down, a program goes to  the  top  left  corner  of  the
+       screen and sends the <STRONG>ri</STRONG> (reverse index) string.  The strings <STRONG>ind</STRONG> and <STRONG>ri</STRONG>
+       are undefined when not on their respective corners of the screen.
+
+       Parameterized versions of the scrolling  sequences  are  <STRONG>indn</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>rin</STRONG>
+       which  have  the same semantics as <STRONG>ind</STRONG> and <STRONG>ri</STRONG> except that they take one
+       parameter, and scroll that many lines.  They are also undefined  except
+       at the appropriate edge of the screen.
+
+       The  <STRONG>am</STRONG> capability tells whether the cursor sticks at the right edge of
+       the screen when text is output, but this does not necessarily apply  to
+       a  <STRONG>cuf1</STRONG>  from  the last column.  The only local motion which is defined
+       from the left edge is if <STRONG>bw</STRONG> is given, then a <STRONG>cub1</STRONG> from  the  left  edge
+       will  move  to the right edge of the previous row.  If <STRONG>bw</STRONG> is not given,
+       the effect is undefined.  This is useful for drawing a box  around  the
+       edge of the screen, for example.  If the terminal has switch selectable
+       automatic margins, the <EM>terminfo</EM> file usually assumes that this  is  on;
+       i.e.,  <STRONG>am</STRONG>.   If  the  terminal  has  a command which moves to the first
+       column of the next line, that command can be given  as  <STRONG>nel</STRONG>  (newline).
+       It  does  not matter if the command clears the remainder of the current
+       line, so if the terminal has no <STRONG>cr</STRONG> and <STRONG>lf</STRONG> it may still be  possible  to
+       craft a working <STRONG>nel</STRONG> out of one or both of them.
+
+       These  capabilities  suffice  to  describe  hard-copy  and  "glass-tty"
+       terminals.  Thus the model 33 teletype is described as
 
        33|tty33|tty|model 33 teletype,

-       Consider the HP2645, which, to get to row 3 and column 12,
-       needs  to  be  sent  \E&amp;a12c03Y padded for 6 milliseconds.
-       Note that the order of the rows and  columns  is  inverted
-       here,  and that the row and column are printed as two dig-
-       its.  Thus its <STRONG>cup</STRONG> capability is "cup=6\E&amp;%p2%2dc%p1%2dY".
-
-       The Microterm ACT-IV needs the current row and column sent
-       preceded  by  a <STRONG>^T</STRONG>, with the row and column simply encoded
-       in binary, "cup=^T%p1%c%p2%c".  Terminals which  use  "%c"
-       need  to  be  able  to backspace the cursor (<STRONG>cub1</STRONG>), and to
-       move the cursor up one line on the screen (<STRONG>cuu1</STRONG>).  This is
-       necessary  because it is not always safe to transmit <STRONG>\n</STRONG> <STRONG>^D</STRONG>
-       and <STRONG>\r</STRONG>, as the system may change or  discard  them.   (The
-       library  routines  dealing  with terminfo set tty modes so
-       that tabs are never expanded, so \t is safe to send.  This
-       turns out to be essential for the Ann Arbor 4080.)
-
-       A final example is the LSI ADM-3a, which uses row and col-
-       umn  offset  by  a  blank  character,  thus  "cup=\E=%p1%'
-       '%+%c%p2%'  '%+%c".   After sending "\E=", this pushes the
-       first parameter, pushes the ASCII value for a space  (32),
-       adds  them  (pushing  the sum on the stack in place of the
-       two previous values) and outputs that value as  a  charac-
-       ter.   Then  the  same  is  done for the second parameter.
-       More complex arithmetic is possible using the stack.

+            written on one line.  The <STRONG>-f</STRONG> option splits the string  into  lines
+            with the parts indented.
+
+       Binary  operations  are  in postfix form with the operands in the usual
+       order.  That is, to get x-5 one  would  use  "%gx%{5}%-".   <STRONG>%P</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>%g</STRONG>
+       variables are persistent across escape-string evaluations.
+
+       Consider  the HP2645, which, to get to row 3 and column 12, needs to be
+       sent \E&amp;a12c03Y padded for 6 milliseconds.  Note that the order of  the
+       rows  and  columns  is  inverted  here, and that the row and column are
+       printed   as   two   digits.     Thus    its    <STRONG>cup</STRONG>    capability    is
+       "cup=6\E&amp;%p2%2dc%p1%2dY".
+
+       The  Microterm ACT-IV needs the current row and column sent preceded by
+       a  <STRONG>^T</STRONG>,  with  the  row   and   column   simply   encoded   in   binary,
+       "cup=^T%p1%c%p2%c".   Terminals  which  use  "%c"  need  to  be able to
+       backspace the cursor (<STRONG>cub1</STRONG>), and to move the cursor up one line on  the
+       screen  (<STRONG>cuu1</STRONG>).   This  is  necessary  because it is not always safe to
+       transmit <STRONG>\n</STRONG> <STRONG>^D</STRONG> and <STRONG>\r</STRONG>, as the system may change or discard them.   (The
+       library  routines  dealing with terminfo set tty modes so that tabs are
+       never expanded, so \t is safe to send.  This turns out to be  essential
+       for the Ann Arbor 4080.)
+
+       A  final example is the LSI ADM-3a, which uses row and column offset by
+       a blank character, thus "cup=\E=%p1%' '%+%c%p2%' '%+%c".  After sending
+       "\E=",  this  pushes  the first parameter, pushes the ASCII value for a
+       space (32), adds them (pushing the sum on the stack in place of the two
+       previous  values) and outputs that value as a character.  Then the same
+       is done for the second parameter.  More complex arithmetic is  possible
+       using the stack.

+       of  getting  to the lower left-hand corner can be given as <STRONG>ll</STRONG>; this may
+       involve going up with <STRONG>cuu1</STRONG> from the home position, but a program should

+       about the effect of moving up from the home position.   Note  that  the
+       home  position  is  the  same  as  addressing to (0,0): to the top left
+       corner of the screen, not of memory.  (Thus, the  \EH  sequence  on  HP

+       shorter than the more general  two  parameter  sequence  (as  with  the
+       hp2645)   and  can  be  used  in  preference  to  <STRONG>cup</STRONG>.   If  there  are
+       parameterized local motions (e.g., move <EM>n</EM> spaces to  the  right)  these
+       can  be  given  as  <STRONG>cud</STRONG>,  <STRONG>cub</STRONG>,  <STRONG>cuf</STRONG>,  and  <STRONG>cuu</STRONG>  with a single parameter
+       indicating how many spaces to move.  These are primarily useful if  the
+       terminal does not have <STRONG>cup</STRONG>, such as the TEKTRONIX 4025.
+

+       second  type  of  terminal,  and  should  give the capability <STRONG>in</STRONG>, which
        stands for "insert null".
 
-       While  these  are  two  logically separate attributes (one
-       line versus multi-line insert mode, and special  treatment
-       of  untyped spaces) we have seen no terminals whose insert
-       mode cannot be described with the single attribute.
-
-       Terminfo can describe both terminals which have an  insert
-       mode, and terminals which send a simple sequence to open a
-       blank position on the current  line.   Give  as  <STRONG>smir</STRONG>  the
-       sequence  to  get  into  insert  mode.   Give  as <STRONG>rmir</STRONG> the
-       sequence to leave insert  mode.   Now  give  as  <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>  any
-       sequence needed to be sent just before sending the charac-
-       ter to be inserted.  Most terminals  with  a  true  insert
-       mode  will  not give <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>; terminals which send a sequence
-       to open a screen position should give it here.
-
-       If your terminal has both, insert mode is usually  prefer-
-       able  to  <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>.   Technically,  you  should  not give both
-       unless the terminal actually requires both to be  used  in
-       combination.   Accordingly,  some  non-curses applications
-       get confused if both are present; the symptom  is  doubled
-       characters in an update using insert.  This requirement is
-       now rare; most <STRONG>ich</STRONG> sequences do not require previous smir,
-       and most smir insert modes do not require <STRONG>ich1</STRONG> before each
-       character.  Therefore, the  new  <STRONG>curses</STRONG>  actually  assumes
-       this  is the case and uses either <STRONG>rmir</STRONG>/<STRONG>smir</STRONG> or <STRONG>ich</STRONG>/<STRONG>ich1</STRONG> as
-       appropriate (but not both).  If you have to write an entry
-       to  be  used under new curses for a terminal old enough to
-       need both, include the <STRONG>rmir</STRONG>/<STRONG>smir</STRONG> sequences in <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>.
-
-       If post insert padding is needed, give this as a number of
-       milliseconds  in <STRONG>ip</STRONG> (a string option).  Any other sequence
-       which may need to be sent after  an  insert  of  a  single
-       character may also be given in <STRONG>ip</STRONG>.  If your terminal needs
-       both to be placed into an "insert mode" and a special code
-       to  precede  each  inserted character, then both <STRONG>smir</STRONG>/<STRONG>rmir</STRONG>
-       and <STRONG>ich1</STRONG> can be given, and both will  be  used.   The  <STRONG>ich</STRONG>
-       capability, with one parameter, <EM>n</EM>, will repeat the effects
-       of <STRONG>ich1</STRONG> <EM>n</EM> times.
-
-       If padding is necessary between characters typed while not
-       in insert mode, give this as a number of milliseconds pad-
-       ding in <STRONG>rmp</STRONG>.
-
-       It is occasionally  necessary  to  move  around  while  in
-       insert  mode  to delete characters on the same line (e.g.,
-       if there is a tab after the insertion position).  If  your
-       terminal  allows  motion while in insert mode you can give
-       the capability <STRONG>mir</STRONG> to speed up  inserting  in  this  case.
-       Omitting  <STRONG>mir</STRONG>  will  affect  only  speed.   Some terminals
-       (notably Datamedia's) must not have <STRONG>mir</STRONG> because of the way
-       their insert mode works.
-
-       Finally,  you  can specify <STRONG>dch1</STRONG> to delete a single charac-
-       ter, <STRONG>dch</STRONG> with one parameter, <EM>n</EM>, to  delete  <EM>n</EM>  <EM>characters,</EM>
-       and  delete mode by giving <STRONG>smdc</STRONG> and <STRONG>rmdc</STRONG> to enter and exit
-       delete mode (any mode the terminal needs to be  placed  in
-       for <STRONG>dch1</STRONG> to work).
-
-       A  command to erase <EM>n</EM> characters (equivalent to outputting

-       ces  on  the  screen,  as the TVI 912 and Teleray 1061 do,
-       then <STRONG>xmc</STRONG> should be given to tell how many spaces are left.
-
-       Codes to begin underlining  and  end  underlining  can  be
-       given  as <STRONG>smul</STRONG> and <STRONG>rmul</STRONG> respectively.  If the terminal has
-       a code to underline the current  character  and  move  the
-       cursor one space to the right, such as the Microterm Mime,
-       this can be given as <STRONG>uc</STRONG>.
-
-       Other capabilities to  enter  various  highlighting  modes
-       include  <STRONG>blink</STRONG>  (blinking) <STRONG>bold</STRONG> (bold or extra bright) <STRONG>dim</STRONG>
-       (dim or half-bright) <STRONG>invis</STRONG> (blanking  or  invisible  text)
-       <STRONG>prot</STRONG>  (protected)  <STRONG>rev</STRONG>  (reverse video) <STRONG>sgr0</STRONG> (turn off <EM>all</EM>
-       attribute modes)  <STRONG>smacs</STRONG>  (enter  alternate  character  set
-       mode)  and  <STRONG>rmacs</STRONG>  (exit  alternate  character  set mode).
-       Turning on any of these modes singly may or may  not  turn
-       off other modes.
-
-       If  there  is  a sequence to set arbitrary combinations of
-       modes, this should be given as <STRONG>sgr</STRONG> (set attributes),  tak-
-       ing  9 parameters.  Each parameter is either 0 or nonzero,
-       as the corresponding attribute is on or off.  The 9 param-
-       eters  are, in order: standout, underline, reverse, blink,
-       dim, bold, blank, protect, alternate character  set.   Not
-       all  modes  need be supported by <STRONG>sgr</STRONG>, only those for which
-       corresponding separate attribute commands exist.
+       While these are two logically  separate  attributes  (one  line  versus
+       multi-line  insert  mode,  and  special treatment of untyped spaces) we
+       have seen no terminals whose insert mode cannot be described  with  the
+       single attribute.
+
+       Terminfo  can  describe  both  terminals which have an insert mode, and
+       terminals which send a simple sequence to open a blank position on  the
+       current line.  Give as <STRONG>smir</STRONG> the sequence to get into insert mode.  Give
+       as <STRONG>rmir</STRONG> the sequence to leave  insert  mode.   Now  give  as  <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>  any
+       sequence  needed  to  be  sent  just before sending the character to be
+       inserted.  Most terminals with a true insert mode will not  give  <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>;
+       terminals  which  send a sequence to open a screen position should give
+       it here.
+
+       If your terminal has both, insert mode is usually preferable  to  <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>.
+       Technically,  you  should  not  give  both unless the terminal actually
+       requires both to be used in combination.  Accordingly, some  non-curses
+       applications  get  confused if both are present; the symptom is doubled
+       characters in an update using insert.  This requirement  is  now  rare;
+       most  <STRONG>ich</STRONG>  sequences do not require previous smir, and most smir insert
+       modes do not require <STRONG>ich1</STRONG> before each character.   Therefore,  the  new
+       <STRONG>curses</STRONG>  actually  assumes this is the case and uses either <STRONG>rmir</STRONG>/<STRONG>smir</STRONG> or
+       <STRONG>ich</STRONG>/<STRONG>ich1</STRONG> as appropriate (but not both).  If you have to write an  entry
+       to  be  used  under  new curses for a terminal old enough to need both,
+       include the <STRONG>rmir</STRONG>/<STRONG>smir</STRONG> sequences in <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>.
+
+       If post insert padding is needed, give this as a number of milliseconds
+       in  <STRONG>ip</STRONG> (a string option).  Any other sequence which may need to be sent
+       after an insert of a single character may also be given in <STRONG>ip</STRONG>.  If your
+       terminal  needs  both  to be placed into an "insert mode" and a special
+       code to precede each inserted character, then both <STRONG>smir</STRONG>/<STRONG>rmir</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>
+       can  be  given,  and  both  will be used.  The <STRONG>ich</STRONG> capability, with one
+       parameter, <EM>n</EM>, will repeat the effects of <STRONG>ich1</STRONG> <EM>n</EM> times.
+
+       If padding is necessary between characters typed while  not  in  insert
+       mode, give this as a number of milliseconds padding in <STRONG>rmp</STRONG>.
+
+       It  is  occasionally  necessary  to move around while in insert mode to
+       delete characters on the same line (e.g., if there is a tab  after  the
+       insertion  position).   If  your terminal allows motion while in insert
+       mode you can give the capability <STRONG>mir</STRONG> to  speed  up  inserting  in  this
+       case.   Omitting  <STRONG>mir</STRONG>  will affect only speed.  Some terminals (notably
+       Datamedia's) must not have <STRONG>mir</STRONG> because of the  way  their  insert  mode
+       works.
+
+       Finally,  you  can  specify <STRONG>dch1</STRONG> to delete a single character, <STRONG>dch</STRONG> with
+       one parameter, <EM>n</EM>, to delete <EM>n</EM> <EM>characters,</EM> and  delete  mode  by  giving
+       <STRONG>smdc</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>rmdc</STRONG>  to  enter  and exit delete mode (any mode the terminal
+       needs to be placed in for <STRONG>dch1</STRONG> to work).
+
+       A command to erase <EM>n</EM> characters  (equivalent  to  outputting  <EM>n</EM>  blanks
+       without moving the cursor) can be given as <STRONG>ech</STRONG> with one parameter.

+       If your terminal has one or more kinds of display attributes, these can
+       be represented in a number of different ways.  You  should  choose  one
+       display  form  as  <EM>standout</EM>  <EM>mode</EM>,  representing a good, high contrast,
+       easy-on-the-eyes, format for  highlighting  error  messages  and  other
+       attention  getters.   (If  you  have a choice, reverse video plus half-
+       bright is good, or reverse video alone.)  The sequences  to  enter  and
+       exit  standout  mode  are given as <STRONG>smso</STRONG> and <STRONG>rmso</STRONG>, respectively.  If the
+       code to change into or out of standout mode  leaves  one  or  even  two
+       blank  spaces  on  the screen, as the TVI 912 and Teleray 1061 do, then
+       <STRONG>xmc</STRONG> should be given to tell how many spaces are left.
+
+       Codes to begin underlining and end underlining can be given as <STRONG>smul</STRONG> and
+       <STRONG>rmul</STRONG> respectively.  If the terminal has a code to underline the current
+       character and move the cursor one space  to  the  right,  such  as  the
+       Microterm Mime, this can be given as <STRONG>uc</STRONG>.
+
+       Other  capabilities  to  enter various highlighting modes include <STRONG>blink</STRONG>
+       (blinking) <STRONG>bold</STRONG> (bold or extra bright) <STRONG>dim</STRONG> (dim or  half-bright)  <STRONG>invis</STRONG>
+       (blanking  or invisible text) <STRONG>prot</STRONG> (protected) <STRONG>rev</STRONG> (reverse video) <STRONG>sgr0</STRONG>
+       (turn off <EM>all</EM> attribute modes) <STRONG>smacs</STRONG>  (enter  alternate  character  set
+       mode) and <STRONG>rmacs</STRONG> (exit alternate character set mode).  Turning on any of
+       these modes singly may or may not turn off other modes.
+
+       If there is a sequence to set arbitrary  combinations  of  modes,  this
+       should  be  given  as  <STRONG>sgr</STRONG> (set attributes), taking 9 parameters.  Each
+       parameter is either 0 or nonzero, as the corresponding attribute is  on
+       or  off.  The 9 parameters are, in order: standout, underline, reverse,
+       blink, dim, bold, blank, protect, alternate  character  set.   Not  all
+       modes  need  be  supported  by  <STRONG>sgr</STRONG>, only those for which corresponding
+       separate attribute commands exist.
 
        For example, the DEC vt220 supports most of the modes:
 
-        <STRONG>tparm</STRONG> <STRONG>parameter</STRONG>      <STRONG>attribute</STRONG>        <STRONG>escape</STRONG> <STRONG>sequence</STRONG>

-
-       We begin each escape sequence by turning off any  existing
-       modes,  since  there  is no quick way to determine whether
-       they are active.  Standout is set up to be the combination
-       of  reverse  and  bold.   The vt220 terminal has a protect
-       mode, though it is not commonly used  in  sgr  because  it
-       protects  characters  on  the  screen from the host's era-
-       sures.  The altcharset mode also is different in  that  it
-       is  either ^O or ^N, depending on whether it is off or on.
-       If all modes are turned  on,  the  resulting  sequence  is
-       \E[0;1;4;5;7;8m^N.
-
-       Some  sequences  are common to different modes.  For exam-
-       ple, ;7 is output when either p1 or p3 is true,  that  is,
-       if either standout or reverse modes are turned on.

-       when they move to a new line or the cursor  is  addressed.
-       Programs  using  standout  mode  should exit standout mode

-       when the terminal gets into a wedged state.  Commands  are
-       normally  placed  in <STRONG>rs1</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs2</STRONG> <STRONG>rs3</STRONG> and <STRONG>rf</STRONG> only if they pro-
-       duce annoying effects on the screen and are not  necessary
-       when  logging  in.   For  example,  the command to set the
-       vt100 into 80-column mode would normally be part  of  <STRONG>is2</STRONG>,
-       but  it causes an annoying glitch of the screen and is not
-       normally needed since the terminal is usually  already  in
-       80 column mode.
-
-       The <EM>reset</EM> program writes strings including <STRONG>iprog</STRONG>, etc., in
-       the same order as  the  <EM>init</EM>  program,  using  <STRONG>rs1</STRONG>,  etc.,

-       capability strings are missing, the  <EM>reset</EM>  program  falls
-       back  upon  the  corresponding  initialization  capability
-       string.
-
-       If there are commands to set and clear tab stops, they can
-       be  given  as <STRONG>tbc</STRONG> (clear all tab stops) and <STRONG>hts</STRONG> (set a tab
-       stop in the current column of every row).  If a more  com-
-       plex  sequence  is  needed  to  set  the  tabs than can be
-       described by this, the sequence can be placed  in  <STRONG>is2</STRONG>  or
-       <STRONG>if</STRONG>.
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If  the  terminal has hardware tabs which are initially set every <EM>n</EM>

-<H3><a name="h3-Delays-and-Padding">Delays and Padding</a></H3><PRE>
-       Many  older  and  slower  terminals  do not support either
-       XON/XOFF or DTR handshaking, including hard copy terminals
-       and  some  very  archaic CRTs (including, for example, DEC
-       VT100s).  These may require padding characters after  cer-
-       tain cursor motions and screen changes.
-
-       If the terminal uses xon/xoff handshaking for flow control
-       (that is, it automatically emits ^S back to the host  when
-       its input buffers are close to full), set <STRONG>xon</STRONG>.  This capa-
-       bility suppresses the emission of padding.  You  can  also
-       set  it for memory-mapped console devices effectively that
-       do not have a speed  limit.   Padding  information  should
-       still  be  included so that routines can make better deci-
-       sions about relative costs, but actual pad characters will
-       not be transmitted.
-
-       If  <STRONG>pb</STRONG> (padding baud rate) is given, padding is suppressed
-       at baud rates below the value of <STRONG>pb</STRONG>.  If the entry has  no
-       padding  baud rate, then whether padding is emitted or not
-       is completely controlled by <STRONG>xon</STRONG>.
-
-       If the terminal requires other than a null (zero)  charac-
-       ter  as  a  pad,  then this can be given as <STRONG>pad</STRONG>.  Only the
-       first character of the <STRONG>pad</STRONG> string is used.

-<H3><a name="h3-Status-Lines">Status Lines</a></H3><PRE>
-       Some terminals have an extra "status line"  which  is  not
-       normally  used  by  software  (and thus not counted in the
-       terminal's <STRONG>lines</STRONG> capability).
-
-       The simplest case  is  a  status  line  which  is  cursor-
-       addressable  but  not part of the main scrolling region on
-       the screen; the Heathkit H19 has a  status  line  of  this
-       kind,  as  would  a 24-line VT100 with a 23-line scrolling
-       region set up on initialization.  This situation is  indi-
-       cated by the <STRONG>hs</STRONG> capability.
-
-       Some terminals with status lines need special sequences to
-       access the status line.   These  may  be  expressed  as  a
-       string with single parameter <STRONG>tsl</STRONG> which takes the cursor to
-       a given zero-origin column on the status line.  The  capa-
-       bility <STRONG>fsl</STRONG> must return to the main-screen cursor positions
-       before the last <STRONG>tsl</STRONG>.  You may need  to  embed  the  string
-       values  of <STRONG>sc</STRONG> (save cursor) and <STRONG>rc</STRONG> (restore cursor) in <STRONG>tsl</STRONG>
-       and <STRONG>fsl</STRONG> to accomplish this.
-
-       The status line is normally assumed to be the  same  width
-       as  the width of the terminal.  If this is untrue, you can
-       specify it with the numeric capability <STRONG>wsl</STRONG>.
-
-       A command to erase or blank the status line may be  speci-
-       fied as <STRONG>dsl</STRONG>.
-
-       The   boolean   capability  <STRONG>eslok</STRONG>  specifies  that  escape
-       sequences, tabs, etc., work ordinarily in the status line.
-
-       The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> implementation does not yet use any  of  these
-       capabilities.   They are documented here in case they ever

-       Most color terminals are either "Tektronix-like"  or  "HP-
-       like".   Tektronix-like terminals have a predefined set of
-       N colors (where N usually 8), and can  set  character-cell
-       foreground and background characters independently, mixing
-       them into N * N color-pairs.  On  HP-like  terminals,  the
-       use must set each color pair up separately (foreground and
-       background are  not  independently  settable).   Up  to  M
-       color-pairs  may  be  set  up  from  2*M different colors.
-       ANSI-compatible terminals are Tektronix-like.
-
-       Some basic color capabilities are independent of the color
-       method.  The numeric capabilities <STRONG>colors</STRONG> and <STRONG>pairs</STRONG> specify
-       the maximum numbers of colors and color-pairs that can  be
-       displayed  simultaneously.   The <STRONG>op</STRONG> (original pair) string
-       resets foreground and background colors to  their  default
-       values  for the terminal.  The <STRONG>oc</STRONG> string resets all colors
-       or color-pairs to their default values for  the  terminal.
-       Some  terminals  (including  many  PC  terminal emulators)

-       rather  than the power-up default background; these should
-       have the boolean capability <STRONG>bce</STRONG>.
-
-       To change the current foreground or background color on  a
-       Tektronix-type  terminal,  use <STRONG>setaf</STRONG> (set ANSI foreground)
-       and <STRONG>setab</STRONG> (set ANSI background) or <STRONG>setf</STRONG>  (set  foreground)
-       and  <STRONG>setb</STRONG> (set background).  These take one parameter, the
-       color  number.   The  SVr4  documentation  describes  only
-       <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG>;  the  XPG4  draft  says that "If the terminal
-       supports ANSI escape sequences to set background and fore-
-       ground,  they  should be coded as <STRONG>setaf</STRONG> and <STRONG>setab</STRONG>, respec-
-       tively.  If the terminal supports other  escape  sequences
-       to  set background and foreground, they should be coded as
-       <STRONG>setf</STRONG> and <STRONG>setb</STRONG>, respectively.  The <EM>vidputs()</EM>  function  and
-       the  refresh  functions  use  <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>  and <STRONG>setab</STRONG> if they are
-       defined."
-
-       The <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG> and <STRONG>setf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setb</STRONG> capabilities take  a  single
-       numeric argument each.  Argument values 0-7 of <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG>
-       are portably defined as follows (the middle column is  the
-       symbolic #define available in the header for the <STRONG>curses</STRONG> or
-       <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> libraries).  The terminal hardware is free to  map
-       these  as  it  likes,  but  the RGB values indicate normal
-       locations in color space.

-       It is important to not confuse the two sets of color capa-
-       bilities; otherwise red/blue will be interchanged  on  the
-       display.
-
-       On  an  HP-like terminal, use <STRONG>scp</STRONG> with a color-pair number
-       parameter to set which color pair is current.
-
-       On a Tektronix-like terminal, the capability  <STRONG>ccc</STRONG>  may  be
-       present  to  indicate that colors can be modified.  If so,
-       the <STRONG>initc</STRONG> capability will take a color number (0 to <STRONG>colors</STRONG>
-       -  1)and  three  more parameters which describe the color.
-       These three parameters default to being interpreted as RGB
-       (Red,  Green, Blue) values.  If the boolean capability <STRONG>hls</STRONG>
-       is present, they are instead as HLS (Hue, Lightness, Satu-
-       ration) indices.  The ranges are terminal-dependent.
-
-       On  an  HP-like  terminal, <STRONG>initp</STRONG> may give a capability for
-       changing a color-pair value.  It will take  seven  parame-
-       ters;  a  color-pair  number (0 to <STRONG>max_pairs</STRONG> - 1), and two
-       triples describing first background  and  then  foreground
-       colors.   These  parameters  must be (Red, Green, Blue) or
-       (Hue, Lightness, Saturation) depending on <STRONG>hls</STRONG>.
-
-       On some color terminals, colors collide  with  highlights.
-       You can register these collisions with the <STRONG>ncv</STRONG> capability.

-       If the terminal requires other than a null (zero)  charac-
-       ter  as  a  pad,  then this can be given as pad.  Only the
-       first character of the pad string is used.  If the  termi-
-       nal does not have a pad character, specify npc.  Note that
-       ncurses implements  the  termcap-compatible  <STRONG>PC</STRONG>  variable;
-       though  the  application  may  set this value to something
-       other than a null, ncurses will test  <STRONG>npc</STRONG>  first  and  use
-       napms if the terminal has no pad character.
-
-       If  the terminal can move up or down half a line, this can
-       be indicated with <STRONG>hu</STRONG>  (half-line  up)  and  <STRONG>hd</STRONG>  (half-line
-       down).  This is primarily useful for superscripts and sub-
-       scripts on hard-copy terminals.  If a  hard-copy  terminal
-       can  eject  to  the next page (form feed), give this as <STRONG>ff</STRONG>
-       (usually control L).
-
-       If there is a command to repeat a given character a  given
-       number  of times (to save time transmitting a large number
-       of identical characters) this can be  indicated  with  the
-       parameterized  string  <STRONG>rep</STRONG>.   The  first  parameter is the
-       character to be repeated and the second is the  number  of
-       times  to repeat it.  Thus, tparm(repeat_char, 'x', 10) is
+              print the file
+                     <STRONG>if</STRONG>
+
+              and finally output
+                     <STRONG>is3</STRONG>.
+
+       Most  initialization  is  done with <STRONG>is2</STRONG>.  Special terminal modes can be
+       set up without duplicating strings by putting the common  sequences  in
+       <STRONG>is2</STRONG> and special cases in <STRONG>is1</STRONG> and <STRONG>is3</STRONG>.
+
+       A  set  of  sequences  that  does a harder reset from a totally unknown
+       state can be given as <STRONG>rs1</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs2</STRONG>, <STRONG>rf</STRONG> and <STRONG>rs3</STRONG>, analogous to <STRONG>is1</STRONG> <STRONG>,</STRONG> <STRONG>is2</STRONG> <STRONG>,</STRONG> <STRONG>if</STRONG>
+       and  <STRONG>is3</STRONG>  respectively.   These  strings  are output by <EM>reset</EM> option of
+       <STRONG>tput</STRONG>, or by the <STRONG>reset</STRONG> program (an alias of <STRONG>tset</STRONG>), which  is  used  when
+       the terminal gets into a wedged state.  Commands are normally placed in
+       <STRONG>rs1</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs2</STRONG> <STRONG>rs3</STRONG> and <STRONG>rf</STRONG> only if they produce annoying effects on the screen
+       and are not necessary when logging in.  For example, the command to set
+       the vt100 into 80-column mode would normally be part  of  <STRONG>is2</STRONG>,  but  it
+       causes  an  annoying  glitch  of  the screen and is not normally needed
+       since the terminal is usually already in 80-column mode.
+
+       The <STRONG>reset</STRONG> program writes strings including <STRONG>iprog</STRONG>,  etc.,  in  the  same
+       order  as  the  <EM>init</EM> program, using <STRONG>rs1</STRONG>, etc., instead of <STRONG>is1</STRONG>, etc.  If
+       any of <STRONG>rs1</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs2</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs3</STRONG>, or <STRONG>rf</STRONG> reset capability strings are  missing,  the
+       <STRONG>reset</STRONG>   program   falls  back  upon  the  corresponding  initialization
+       capability string.
+
+       If there are commands to set and clear tab stops, they can be given  as
+       <STRONG>tbc</STRONG> (clear all tab stops) and <STRONG>hts</STRONG> (set a tab stop in the current column
+       of every row).  If a more complex sequence is needed to  set  the  tabs
+       than can be described by this, the sequence can be placed in <STRONG>is2</STRONG> or <STRONG>if</STRONG>.
+
+       The  <STRONG>tput</STRONG>  <STRONG>reset</STRONG>  command uses the same capability strings as the <STRONG>reset</STRONG>
+       command, although the two programs (<STRONG>tput</STRONG> and <STRONG>reset</STRONG>)  provide  different
+       command-line options.
+
+       In  practice,  these  terminfo  capabilities  are  not  often  used  in
+       initialization of tabs (though they are required for the <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> program):
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Almost all hardware terminals (at least those which supported tabs)
+           initialized those to every <EM>eight</EM> columns:
+
+           The  only  exception  was  the  AT&amp;T 2300 series, which set tabs to
+           every <EM>five</EM> columns.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   In particular, developers  of  the  hardware  terminals  which  are
+           commonly  used  as  models  for  modern terminal emulators provided
+           documentation demonstrating that <EM>eight</EM> columns were the standard.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Because of this, the terminal initialization programs <STRONG>tput</STRONG> and <STRONG>tset</STRONG>
+           use   the  <STRONG>tbc</STRONG>  (<STRONG>clear_all_tabs</STRONG>)  and  <STRONG>hts</STRONG>  (<STRONG>set_tab</STRONG>)  capabilities
+           directly only when the <STRONG>it</STRONG> (<STRONG>init_tabs</STRONG>) capability is set to a  value
+           other than <EM>eight</EM>.

+       Many  older  and slower terminals do not support either XON/XOFF or DTR
+       handshaking, including hard copy terminals and some very  archaic  CRTs
+       (including,  for  example,  DEC  VT100s).   These  may  require padding
+       characters after certain cursor motions and screen changes.
+
+       If the terminal uses xon/xoff handshaking for flow control (that is, it
+       automatically  emits  ^S  back  to  the host when its input buffers are
+       close to full), set <STRONG>xon</STRONG>.  This capability suppresses  the  emission  of
+       padding.   You  can  also  set  it  for  memory-mapped  console devices
+       effectively that do not have a speed limit.  Padding information should
+       still  be  included  so  that  routines can make better decisions about
+       relative costs, but actual pad characters will not be transmitted.
+
+       If <STRONG>pb</STRONG> (padding baud rate) is given, padding is suppressed at baud rates
+       below  the  value  of  <STRONG>pb</STRONG>.  If the entry has no padding baud rate, then
+       whether padding is emitted or not is completely controlled by <STRONG>xon</STRONG>.
+
+       If the terminal requires other than a null (zero) character as  a  pad,
+       then  this  can  be  given as <STRONG>pad</STRONG>.  Only the first character of the <STRONG>pad</STRONG>
+       string is used.
+
+
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Status-Lines">Status Lines</a></H3><PRE>
+       Some terminals have an extra "status line" which is not  normally  used
+       by software (and thus not counted in the terminal's <STRONG>lines</STRONG> capability).
+
+       The  simplest case is a status line which is cursor-addressable but not
+       part of the main scrolling region on the screen; the Heathkit H19 has a
+       status  line  of  this  kind,  as  would a 24-line VT100 with a 23-line
+       scrolling region set up on initialization.  This situation is indicated
+       by the <STRONG>hs</STRONG> capability.
+
+       Some  terminals  with status lines need special sequences to access the
+       status line.  These may be expressed as a string with single  parameter
+       <STRONG>tsl</STRONG>  which takes the cursor to a given zero-origin column on the status
+       line.  The  capability  <STRONG>fsl</STRONG>  must  return  to  the  main-screen  cursor
+       positions before the last <STRONG>tsl</STRONG>.  You may need to embed the string values
+       of <STRONG>sc</STRONG> (save  cursor)  and  <STRONG>rc</STRONG>  (restore  cursor)  in  <STRONG>tsl</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>fsl</STRONG>  to
+       accomplish this.
+
+       The  status  line is normally assumed to be the same width as the width
+       of the terminal.  If this is  untrue,  you  can  specify  it  with  the
+       numeric capability <STRONG>wsl</STRONG>.
+
+       A command to erase or blank the status line may be specified as <STRONG>dsl</STRONG>.
+
+       The  boolean  capability  <STRONG>eslok</STRONG>  specifies that escape sequences, tabs,
+       etc., work ordinarily in the status line.
+
+       The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> implementation does not yet use any of these  capabilities.
+       They are documented here in case they ever become important.

+       A few notes apply to the table itself:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   X/Open  Curses  incorrectly  states that the mapping for <EM>lantern</EM> is
+           uppercase "I" although Unix implementations use the  lowercase  "i"
+           mapping.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The  DEC  VT100  implemented graphics using the alternate character
+           set feature, temporarily switching <EM>modes</EM> and sending characters  in
+           the  range  0x60  (96)  to 0x7e (126) (the <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> <STRONG>Value</STRONG> column in the
+           table).
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The AT&amp;T terminal added graphics characters outside that range.
+
+           Some of the characters within the range do  not  match  the  VT100;
+           presumably  they  were  used in the AT&amp;T terminal: <EM>board</EM> <EM>of</EM> <EM>squares</EM>
+           replaces the VT100 <EM>newline</EM> symbol, while  <EM>lantern</EM>  <EM>symbol</EM>  replaces
+           the VT100 <EM>vertical</EM> <EM>tab</EM> symbol.  The other VT100 symbols for control
+           characters (<EM>horizontal</EM> <EM>tab</EM>, <EM>carriage</EM> <EM>return</EM> and <EM>line-feed</EM>) are  not
+           (re)used in curses.
+
+       The  best  way to define a new device's graphics set is to add a column
+       to a copy of this table for your terminal, giving the  character  which
+       (when  emitted  between  <STRONG>smacs</STRONG>/<STRONG>rmacs</STRONG>  switches) will be rendered as the
+       corresponding graphic.  Then read off the VT100/your terminal character
+       pairs right to left in sequence; these become the ACSC string.

+       The  curses  library  functions <STRONG>init_pair</STRONG> and <STRONG>init_color</STRONG> manipulate the
+       <EM>color</EM>  <EM>pairs</EM>  and  <EM>color</EM>  <EM>values</EM>  discussed  in   this   section   (see
+       <STRONG><A HREF="curs_color.3x.html">curs_color(3x)</A></STRONG> for details on these and related functions).
+
+       Most color terminals are either "Tektronix-like" or "HP-like":
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Tektronix-like terminals have a predefined set of <EM>N</EM> colors (where <EM>N</EM>
+           is usually 8), and can set character-cell foreground and background
+           characters independently, mixing them into <EM>N</EM> * <EM>N</EM> color-pairs.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   On  HP-like  terminals,  the  user  must  set  each  color  pair up
+           separately  (foreground  and  background  are   not   independently
+           settable).   Up  to  <EM>M</EM> color-pairs may be set up from 2*<EM>M</EM> different
+           colors.  ANSI-compatible terminals are Tektronix-like.
+
+       Some basic color capabilities are independent of the color method.  The
+       numeric  capabilities  <STRONG>colors</STRONG>  and <STRONG>pairs</STRONG> specify the maximum numbers of
+       colors and color-pairs that can be displayed  simultaneously.   The  <STRONG>op</STRONG>
+       (original pair) string resets foreground and background colors to their
+       default values for the terminal.  The <STRONG>oc</STRONG> string resets  all  colors  or
+       color-pairs  to  their default values for the terminal.  Some terminals
+       (including many PC terminal emulators)  erase  screen  areas  with  the
+       current  background  color rather than the power-up default background;
+       these should have the boolean capability <STRONG>bce</STRONG>.
+
+       While the  curses  library  works  with  <EM>color</EM>  <EM>pairs</EM>  (reflecting  the
+       inability  of  some  devices  to  set  foreground and background colors
+       independently), there  are  separate  capabilities  for  setting  these
+       features:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   To   change  the  current  foreground  or  background  color  on  a
+           Tektronix-type terminal, use <STRONG>setaf</STRONG> (set ANSI foreground) and  <STRONG>setab</STRONG>
+           (set  ANSI  background)  or  <STRONG>setf</STRONG>  (set  foreground)  and <STRONG>setb</STRONG> (set
+           background).  These take one parameter, the color number.  The SVr4
+           documentation  describes only <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG>; the XPG4 draft says that
+           "If the terminal supports ANSI escape sequences to  set  background
+           and   foreground,   they  should  be  coded  as  <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>setab</STRONG>,
+           respectively.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If the terminal supports other escape sequences to  set  background
+           and   foreground,   they   should   be  coded  as  <STRONG>setf</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>setb</STRONG>,
+           respectively.  The <STRONG>vidputs</STRONG> and the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_refresh.3x.html">refresh(3x)</A></STRONG>  functions  use  the
+           <STRONG>setaf</STRONG> and <STRONG>setab</STRONG> capabilities if they are defined.
+
+       The  <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>setf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setb</STRONG>  capabilities  take  a  single numeric
+       argument each.  Argument values 0-7 of <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG> are portably defined
+       as  follows (the middle column is the symbolic #define available in the
+       header for the <STRONG>curses</STRONG> or <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> libraries).  The terminal hardware  is
+       free  to  map  these  as  it  likes, but the RGB values indicate normal
+       locations in color space.

+       It  is  important  to  not  confuse the two sets of color capabilities;
+       otherwise red/blue will be interchanged on the display.
+
+       On an HP-like terminal, use <STRONG>scp</STRONG> with a color-pair number  parameter  to
+       set which color pair is current.
+
+       Some terminals allow the <EM>color</EM> <EM>values</EM> to be modified:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   On  a Tektronix-like terminal, the capability <STRONG>ccc</STRONG> may be present to
+           indicate that colors can be modified.  If so, the <STRONG>initc</STRONG>  capability
+           will take a color number (0 to <STRONG>colors</STRONG> - 1)and three more parameters
+           which describe the color.  These three parameters default to  being
+           interpreted  as  RGB  (Red,  Green,  Blue)  values.  If the boolean
+           capability <STRONG>hls</STRONG> is present, they are instead as HLS (Hue, Lightness,
+           Saturation) indices.  The ranges are terminal-dependent.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   On  an HP-like terminal, <STRONG>initp</STRONG> may give a capability for changing a
+           color-pair value.  It will  take  seven  parameters;  a  color-pair
+           number  (0  to  <STRONG>max_pairs</STRONG>  -  1),  and two triples describing first
+           background and then foreground colors.  These  parameters  must  be
+           (Red,  Green,  Blue)  or  (Hue, Lightness, Saturation) depending on
+           <STRONG>hls</STRONG>.
+
+       On some color terminals,  colors  collide  with  highlights.   You  can
+       register  these collisions with the <STRONG>ncv</STRONG> capability.  This is a bit-mask
+       of  attributes  not  to  be  used  when  colors   are   enabled.    The
+       correspondence with the attributes understood by <STRONG>curses</STRONG> is as follows:
+
+                  <STRONG>Attribute</STRONG>              <STRONG>Bit</STRONG>   <STRONG>Decimal</STRONG>      <STRONG>Set</STRONG> <STRONG>by</STRONG>

+       If the terminal requires other than a null (zero) character as  a  pad,
+       then  this  can  be  given as pad.  Only the first character of the pad
+       string is used.  If the terminal does not have a pad character, specify
+       npc.   Note that ncurses implements the termcap-compatible <STRONG>PC</STRONG> variable;
+       though the application may set this value to  something  other  than  a
+       null,  ncurses will test <STRONG>npc</STRONG> first and use napms if the terminal has no

+
+       If the terminal can move up or down half a line, this can be  indicated

-       the screen at once, the number of lines of memory  can  be
-       indicated  with  <STRONG>lm</STRONG>.   A  value of <STRONG>lm</STRONG>#0 indicates that the

+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Pitfalls-of-Long-Entries">Pitfalls of Long Entries</a></H3><PRE>
+       Long  terminfo  entries are unlikely to be a problem; to date, no entry
+       has  even  approached  terminfo's   4096-byte   string-table   maximum.
+       Unfortunately,  the termcap translations are much more strictly limited
+       (to 1023 bytes), thus termcap translations of long terminfo entries can
+       cause problems.
+
+       The  man  pages  for  4.3BSD and older versions of <STRONG>tgetent</STRONG> instruct the
+       user to allocate a 1024-byte buffer for the termcap entry.   The  entry
+       gets  null-terminated by the termcap library, so that makes the maximum
+       safe length for a termcap entry 1k-1 (1023) bytes.  Depending  on  what
+       the  application  and the termcap library being used does, and where in
+       the termcap file the terminal type that <STRONG>tgetent</STRONG> is  searching  for  is,
+       several bad things can happen.
+
+       Some  termcap libraries print a warning message or exit if they find an
+       entry that's longer than 1023 bytes; others do not; others truncate the
+       entries  to  1023  bytes.  Some application programs allocate more than
+       the recommended 1K for the termcap entry; others do not.
+
+       Each termcap entry has two important sizes associated with  it:  before
+       "tc"  expansion, and after "tc" expansion.  "tc" is the capability that
+       tacks on another termcap entry to the end of the current one, to add on
+       its capabilities.  If a termcap entry does not use the "tc" capability,
+       then of course the two lengths are the same.
+
+       The "before tc expansion" length is the most important one, because  it
+       affects  more than just users of that particular terminal.  This is the
+       length of the entry as it exists in /etc/termcap, minus the  backslash-
+       newline pairs, which <STRONG>tgetent</STRONG> strips out while reading it.  Some termcap
+       libraries strip off the final newline, too (GNU termcap does not).  Now
+       suppose:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   a termcap entry before expansion is more than 1023 bytes long,
 
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   and the application has only allocated a 1k buffer,

+           if it is the entry it wants,
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   and  <STRONG>tgetent</STRONG>  is  searching  for a terminal type that either is the
+           long entry, appears in the termcap file after the  long  entry,  or
+           does  not  appear in the file at all (so that <STRONG>tgetent</STRONG> has to search
+           the whole termcap file).
+
+       Then <STRONG>tgetent</STRONG> will overwrite memory, perhaps  its  stack,  and  probably
+       core   dump   the  program.   Programs  like  telnet  are  particularly
+       vulnerable; modern telnets pass along values  like  the  terminal  type
+       automatically.   The  results  are almost as undesirable with a termcap
+       library, like SunOS 4.1.3 and Ultrix 4.4, that prints warning  messages
+       when  it  reads  an  overly  long  termcap entry.  If a termcap library
+       truncates long entries, like OSF/1 3.0, it is immune to dying here  but
+       will return incorrect data for the terminal.
+
+       The  "after  tc  expansion"  length  will  have a similar effect to the
+       above, but only for people who actually set TERM to that terminal type,
+       since  <STRONG>tgetent</STRONG>  only  does "tc" expansion once it is found the terminal
+       type it was looking for, not while searching.
+
+       In summary, a termcap entry that is longer than 1023 bytes  can  cause,
+       on  various  combinations of termcap libraries and applications, a core
+       dump, warnings, or incorrect operation.  If it is too long even  before
+       "tc"  expansion,  it will have this effect even for users of some other
+       terminal types and users whose TERM variable does not  have  a  termcap
+       entry.

-       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 <STRONG>use</STRONG> can be given with the  name
-       of  the  base terminal.  The capabilities given before <STRONG>use</STRONG>
-       override those in the base type named by  <STRONG>use</STRONG>.   If  there
-       are  multiple <STRONG>use</STRONG> capabilities, they are merged in reverse
-       order.  That is, the rightmost <STRONG>use</STRONG> reference is  processed
-       first,  then the one to its left, and so forth.  Capabili-

-

-       is searching for is, several bad things can happen.
-
-       Some termcap libraries print a warning message or exit  if

-       for the termcap entry; others do not.
-
-       Each termcap entry has two important sizes associated with

-       is the capability that tacks on another termcap  entry  to

-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   and the application has only allocated a 1k buffer,
+       Different  commercial  ports  of  terminfo and curses support different
+       subsets of the XSI  Curses  standard  and  (in  some  cases)  different
+       extension sets.  Here is a summary, accurate as of October 1995:
 
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   and the termcap library (like the one  in  BSD/OS  1.1
-           and  GNU)  reads  the  whole entry into the buffer, no
-           matter what its length, to see if it is the  entry  it
-           wants,
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   and  <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG>  is  searching for a terminal type that
-           either is the long entry, appears in the termcap  file
-           after  the  long entry, or does not appear in the file
-           at all (so that <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG>  has  to  search  the  whole
-           termcap file).
-
-       Then  <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG>  will overwrite memory, perhaps its stack,
-       and probably core dump the program.  Programs like  telnet
-       are  particularly  vulnerable;  modern  telnets pass along
-       values like the terminal type automatically.  The  results
-       are  almost  as  undesirable  with a termcap library, like
-       SunOS 4.1.3 and Ultrix 4.4, that prints  warning  messages
-       when  it reads an overly long termcap entry.  If a termcap
-       library truncates long entries,  like  OSF/1  3.0,  it  is
-       immune  to  dying  here but will return incorrect data for
-       the terminal.
-
-       The "after tc expansion" length will have a similar effect
-       to the above, but only for people who actually set TERM to
-       that terminal type, since <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG> only does "tc"  expan-
-       sion  once  it  is  found the terminal type it was looking
-       for, not while searching.
-
-       In summary, a termcap entry that is longer than 1023 bytes
-       can  cause,  on  various combinations of termcap libraries
-       and applications, a  core  dump,  warnings,  or  incorrect
-       operation.   If it is too long even before "tc" expansion,
-       it will have this effect even for users of some other ter-
-       minal  types and users whose TERM variable does not have a
-       termcap entry.
-
-       When in -C (translate to termcap) mode, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> imple-
-       mentation of <STRONG><A HREF="tic.1m.html">tic(1m)</A></STRONG> issues warning messages when the pre-
-       tc length of a termcap translation is too  long.   The  -c

-       tions must assume that  numeric  capabilities  are  signed
-       16-bit  values.   This  includes  the <EM>no</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>color</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>video</EM> (ncv)
-       capability.  The 32768 mask value used  for  italics  with
-       ncv  can  be confused with an absent or cancelled ncv.  If
-       italics should work with colors, then the ncv  value  must
-       be specified, even if it is zero.
-
-       Different  commercial ports of terminfo and curses support
-       different subsets of the XSI Curses standard and (in  some
-       cases) different extension sets.  Here is a summary, accu-
-       rate as of October 1995:
-
-       <STRONG>SVR4,</STRONG> <STRONG>Solaris,</STRONG> <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> -- These support all SVr4 capabili-
-       ties.
-
-       <STRONG>SGI</STRONG>  --  Supports  the  SVr4  set,  adds  one undocumented
-       extended string capability (<STRONG>set_pglen</STRONG>).
-
-       <STRONG>SVr1,</STRONG> <STRONG>Ultrix</STRONG> -- These support a restricted subset of  ter-
-       minfo  capabilities.   The booleans end with <STRONG>xon_xoff</STRONG>; the
-       numerics with  <STRONG>width_status_line</STRONG>;  and  the  strings  with
-       <STRONG>prtr_non</STRONG>.
-
-       <STRONG>HP/UX</STRONG>  --  Supports  the  SVr1  subset,  plus the SVr[234]
-       numerics <STRONG>num_labels</STRONG>, <STRONG>label_height</STRONG>, <STRONG>label_width</STRONG>, plus func-
-       tion  keys  11  through  63, plus <STRONG>plab_norm</STRONG>, <STRONG>label_on</STRONG>, and
-       <STRONG>label_off</STRONG>, plus some incompatible extensions in the string
-       table.
-
-       <STRONG>AIX</STRONG>  --  Supports  the  SVr1 subset, plus function keys 11
-       through 63, plus a number  of  incompatible  string  table
-       extensions.
-
-       <STRONG>OSF</STRONG> -- Supports both the SVr4 set and the AIX extensions.
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   <STRONG>OSF</STRONG> -- Supports both the SVr4 set and the AIX extensions.
