should be set and its initialization strings, if defined, must be output.
This can be done by executing the \fB@TPUT@ init\fP command
after the shell environment variable \fBTERM\fP has been exported.
-\fB@TSET@(1)\fP is usually responsible for doing this.
-[See \fBterminfo\fP(\*n) for further details.]
+(The BSD-style \fB\%@TSET@\fP(1) utility also performs this function.)
+See subsection \*(``Tabs and Initialization\*('' of \fBterminfo\fP(\*n).
.SS Datatypes
The \fBncurses\fP library permits manipulation of data structures,
called \fIwindows\fP, which can be thought of as two-dimensional
than assuming it is always in the debug library.

.SH EXTENSIONS
The \fBncurses\fP library can be compiled with an option (\fB\-DUSE_GETCAP\fP)
that falls back to the old-style /etc/termcap file if the terminal setup code
