The environment variable <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> should normally contain the
type name of the terminal, console or display-device type
you are using. This information is critical for all
If you use a dialup line, the type of device attached to
it may vary. Older UNIX systems pre-set a very dumb ter-
- minal type like `dumb' or `dialup' on dialup lines. Newer
- ones may pre-set `vt100', reflecting the prevalence of DEC

VT100-compatible terminals and personal-computer emula-
tors.
if the remote terminfo or termcap entry for your type is
not compatible with yours, but this situation is rare and
can almost always be avoided by explicitly exporting

console, terminal, or terminal emulator.)
In any case, you are free to override the system <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> set-
described by <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG>.
The first line of a <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG> description gives the

by a comma. The first name field is the type's <EM>primary</EM>

intended to specify a line height, that suffix should go
first. So, for a hypothetical FuBarCo model 2317 terminal
in 30-line mode with reverse video, best form would be
