The location of the compiled <B>terminfo</B> database is taken
from the environment variable <B>TERMINFO</B> . If the variable
is not defined, or the terminal is not found in that loca-
- tion, the system <B>terminfo</B> database, in <B>@DATADIR@/terminfo</B>,
- will be used. The options <B>-A</B> and <B>-B</B> may be used to over-
- ride this location. The <B>-A</B> option will set <B>TERMINFO</B> for
- the first <I>termname</I> and the <B>-B</B> option will set <B>TERMINFO</B> for
- the other <I>termnames</I>. With this, it is possible to compare
- descriptions for a terminal with the same name located in
- two different databases. This is useful for comparing
- descriptions for the same terminal created by different
- people.
