Compiled terminfo descriptions are placed under the direc-
tory <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG>. Two configurations are sup-
ported (when building the ncurses libraries):
directory tree for entries that correspond to an
existing directory, and hashed database otherwise.

+<H3><a name="h3-STORAGE-FORMAT">STORAGE FORMAT</a></H3><PRE>
The format has been chosen so that it will be the same on
all hardware. An 8 or more bit byte is assumed, but no
assumptions about byte ordering or sign extension are
the values of string capabilities referenced in the string
section. Each string is null terminated.

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
bytes.
Using the counts and sizes, ncurses allocates arrays and
- reads data for the extended capabilties in the same order
+ reads data for the extended capabilities in the same order
as the header information.
The extended string table contains values for string capa-
