DESCRIPTION

+       This  page summarizes variables provided by the curses li-
+       brary's low-level terminfo interface.  A more complete de-
+       scription is given in the curs_terminfo(3x) manual page.
+
+       Depending  on the configuration, these may be actual vari-
+       ables, or  macros  (see  curs_threads(3x))  which  provide
+       read-only  access  to curses's state.  In either case, ap-
+       plications should treat them as read-only to avoid confus-
+       ing the library.
+
+   Alternate Character Set Mapping
+       After  initializing the curses or terminfo interfaces, the
+       acs_map array holds information used  to  translate  cells
+       with  the  A_ALTCHARSET  video attribute into line-drawing
+       characters.
+
+       The encoding of the information in this array has  changed
+       periodically.   Application developers need only know that
+       it is used for the "ACS_" constants in <curses.h>.
+
+       The comparable data for the wide-character  library  is  a
+       private variable.
+
+   Current Terminal Data
+       After  initializing the curses or terminfo interfaces, the
+       cur_term contains data describing  the  current  terminal.
+       This variable is also set as a side-effect of set_term(3x)
+       and delscreen(3x).
+
+       It is possible to save a value of cur_term for  subsequent
+       use  as  a  parameter  to  set_term, for switching between
+       screens.  Alternatively, one can  save  the  return  value
+       from newterm or setupterm to reuse in set_term.
+
+   Terminfo Names
+       The  tic(1)  and infocmp(1) programs use lookup tables for
+       the long and short names of terminfo capabilities, as well
+       as  the  corresponding  names  for  termcap  capabilities.
+       These are available  to  other  applications,  though  the
+       hash-tables are not available.
+
+       The  long  terminfo  capability  names  use a "l" (ell) in
+       their names: boolfnames numfnames strfnames
+
+       These are the short names for terminfo capabilities: bool-
+       names, numnames, and strnames.
+
+       These  are  the  corresponding  names used for termcap de-
+       scriptions: boolcodes, numcodes, and strcodes.
+
+   Terminal Type
+       On initialization of the curses  or  terminfo  interfaces,
+       setupterm copies the terminal name to the array ttytype.
+
+
+

NOTES

+       The  low-level terminfo interface is initialized using se-
+       tupterm(3x).  The upper-level curses  interface  uses  the
+       low-level terminfo interface, internally.
