-       <EM>Terminfo</EM>  is  a  data  base  describing terminals, used by
-       screen-oriented programs  such  as  <STRONG>nvi(1)</STRONG>,  <STRONG>rogue(1)</STRONG>  and
-       libraries  such  as <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>.  <EM>Terminfo</EM> describes termi-
-       nals by giving a set of capabilities which they  have,  by
-       specifying how to perform screen operations, and by speci-
-       fying padding requirements and  initialization  sequences.
-       This describes <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> version 6.0 (patch 20151024).
-
-       Entries in <EM>terminfo</EM> consist of a sequence of `,' separated
-       fields (embedded commas may be escaped with a backslash or
-       notated  as \054).  White space after the `,' separator is
-       ignored.  The first entry  for  each  terminal  gives  the
-       names  which  are known for the terminal, separated by `|'
-       characters.  The first  name  given  is  the  most  common
-       abbreviation  for the terminal, the last name given should
-       be a long name fully identifying  the  terminal,  and  all
-       others  are  understood as synonyms for the terminal name.
-       All names but the last should be in lower case and contain
-       no  blanks;  the last name may well contain upper case and
-       blanks for readability.
-
-       Lines beginning with a `#' in the first column are treated
-       as  comments.  While comment lines are legal at any point,
-       the output of <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> and <STRONG>infotocap</STRONG>  (aliases  for  <STRONG>tic</STRONG>)
-       will move comments so they occur only between entries.
-
-       Newlines  and  leading  tabs  may  be  used for formatting
-       entries for readability.  These are  removed  from  parsed
-       entries.   The  <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> <STRONG>-f</STRONG> option relies on this to format
-       if-then-else expressions: the result can be read by <STRONG>tic</STRONG>.
-
-       Terminal names (except for the last, verbose entry) should
-       be chosen using the following conventions.  The particular
-       piece of hardware making up the  terminal  should  have  a
-       root  name,  thus  "hp2621".  This name should not contain
-       hyphens.  Modes that the hardware can be in, or user pref-
-       erences,  should  be indicated by appending a hyphen and a
-       mode suffix.  Thus, a vt100 in 132 column  mode  would  be
-       vt100-w.  The following suffixes should be used where pos-
-       sible:
-
-      <STRONG>Suffix</STRONG>                  <STRONG>Meaning</STRONG>                   <STRONG>Example</STRONG>
-      -<EM>nn</EM>      Number of lines on the screen            aaa-60
-      -<EM>n</EM>p      Number of pages of memory                c100-4p
-      -am      With automargins (usually the default)   vt100-am
-      -m       Mono mode; suppress color                ansi-m
-      -mc      Magic cookie; spaces when highlighting   wy30-mc
-      -na      No arrow keys (leave them in local)      c100-na
-      -nam     Without automatic margins                vt100-nam
-      -nl      No status line                           att4415-nl
-      -ns      No status line                           hp2626-ns
-      -rv      Reverse video                            c100-rv
-      -s       Enable status line                       vt100-s
-      -vb      Use visible bell instead of beep         wy370-vb

+</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
+       <I>Terminfo</I>  is  a data base describing terminals, used by screen-oriented
+       programs  such  as  <B>nvi(1)</B>,  <B>lynx(1)</B>,   <B>mutt(1)</B>,   and   other   curses
+       applications,  using  high-level calls to libraries such as <B><A HREF="curses.3X.html">curses(3X)</A></B>.
+       It is also used via low-level calls by  non-curses  applications  which
+       may  be  screen-oriented  (such  as  <B><A HREF="clear.1.html">clear(1)</A></B>)  or  non-screen (such as
+       <B><A HREF="tabs.1.html">tabs(1)</A></B>).
 
+       <I>Terminfo</I> describes terminals by giving a set of capabilities which they
+       have, by specifying how to perform screen operations, and by specifying
+       padding requirements and initialization sequences.
 
-</PRE>
-<H3><a name="h3-Predefined-Capabilities">Predefined Capabilities</a></H3><PRE>
-       The  following  is  a  complete  table of the capabilities
-       included in a terminfo description block and available  to
-       terminfo-using code.  In each line of the table,
-
-       The  <STRONG>variable</STRONG>  is the name by which the programmer (at the
-       terminfo level) accesses the capability.
-
-       The <STRONG>capname</STRONG> is the short name used  in  the  text  of  the
-       database,  and  is used by a person updating the database.
-       Whenever possible, capnames are chosen to be the  same  as
-       or similar to the ANSI X3.64-1979 standard (now superseded
-       by ECMA-48, which uses identical or very  similar  names).
-       Semantics are also intended to match those of the specifi-
-       cation.
-
-       The termcap code is the old <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> capability name  (some
-       capabilities are new, and have names which termcap did not
-       originate).
-
-       Capability names have no hard length limit, but an  infor-
-       mal  limit  of  5 characters has been adopted to keep them
-       short and to allow the tabs in the  source  file  <STRONG>Caps</STRONG>  to
-       line up nicely.
-
-       Finally,  the  description  field  attempts  to convey the
-       semantics of the capability.  You may find some  codes  in
-       the description field:
+       This manual describes <B>ncurses</B> version 6.2 (patch 20210612).
 
-       (P)    indicates that padding may be specified
 
-       #[1-9] in  the description field indicates that the string
-              is passed through tparm with parms as given (#<EM>i</EM>).
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Terminfo-Entry-Syntax">Terminfo Entry Syntax</a></H3><PRE>
+       Entries in <I>terminfo</I> consist of a sequence of fields:
 
-       (P*)   indicates that padding may vary  in  proportion  to
-              the number of lines affected
+       <B>o</B>   Each field ends with a comma "," (embedded commas  may  be  escaped
+           with a backslash or written as "\054").
 
-       (#<EM>i</EM>)   indicates the <EM>i</EM>th parameter.
+       <B>o</B>   White space between fields is ignored.
 
+       <B>o</B>   The first field in a <I>terminfo</I> entry begins in the first column.
 
-       These are the boolean capabilities:
+       <B>o</B>   Newlines  and  leading  whitespace (spaces or tabs) may be used for
+           formatting entries for readability.  These are removed from  parsed
+           entries.
 
+           The  <B>infocmp</B>  <B>-f</B> and <B>-W</B> options rely on this to format if-then-else
+           expressions, or  to  enforce  maximum  line-width.   The  resulting
+           formatted terminal description can be read by <B>tic</B>.

+           for the terminal, separated by "|" characters.
 
-       These are the numeric capabilities:
+           The first name given  is  the  most  common  abbreviation  for  the
+           terminal  (its  primary name), the last name given should be a long
+           name fully identifying the terminal  (see  <B><A HREF="curs_termattrs.3X.html">longname(3X)</A></B>),  and  all
+           others  are  treated as synonyms (aliases) for the primary terminal
+           name.
 
+           X/Open Curses advises that all names but  the  last  should  be  in
+           lower  case  and  contain no blanks; the last name may well contain
+           upper case and blanks for readability.

-        The XSI Curses standard added  these  hardcopy  capabili-
-        ties.  They were used in some post-4.1 versions of System
-        V curses, e.g., Solaris 2.5 and IRIX 6.x.  Except for <STRONG>YI</STRONG>,
-        the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> termcap names for them are invented.  Accord-
-        ing to the XSI Curses  standard,  they  have  no  termcap
-        names.  If your compiled terminfo entries use these, they
-        may not  be  binary-compatible  with  System  V  terminfo
-        entries after SVr4.1; beware!

+       Terminal names (except for the last, verbose entry)  should  be  chosen
+       using  the  following  conventions.   The  particular piece of hardware
+       making up the terminal should have a root name,  thus  "hp2621".   This
+       name should not contain hyphens.  Modes that the hardware can be in, or
+       user preferences, should be indicated by appending a hyphen and a  mode
+       suffix.   Thus,  a  vt100  in  132-column  mode  would be vt100-w.  The
+       following suffixes should be used where possible:

-       The  preceding section listed the <EM>predefined</EM> capabilities.
-       They deal with some  special  features  for  terminals  no
-       longer  (or  possibly never) produced.  Occasionally there
-       are special features of newer terminals which are  awkward
-       or impossible to represent by reusing the predefined capa-
-       bilities.
-
-       <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> addresses this limitation by allowing user-defined
-       capabilities.  The <STRONG>tic</STRONG> and <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> programs provide the <STRONG>-x</STRONG>
-       option for this purpose.   When  <STRONG>-x</STRONG>  is  set,  <STRONG>tic</STRONG>  treats
-       unknown  capabilities  as  user-defined.   That is, if <STRONG>tic</STRONG>
-       encounters a capability name which it does not  recognize,
-       it  infers  its  type (boolean, number or string) from the
-       syntax and makes an extended table entry for that capabil-
-       ity.   The <STRONG>use_extended_names</STRONG> function makes this informa-
-       tion conditionally available to applications.  The ncurses
-       library  provides the data leaving most of the behavior to
-       applications:
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   User-defined capability strings whose name begins with
-           "k" are treated as function keys.
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The  types (boolean, number, string) determined by <STRONG>tic</STRONG>
-           can be inferred by successful calls on <STRONG>tigetflag</STRONG>, etc.
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If the capability name happens to be  two  characters,
-           the  capability  is also available through the termcap
-           interface.
-
-       While termcap is said to be extensible because it does not
-       use  a  predefined set of capabilities, in practice it has
-       been limited  to  the  capabilities  defined  by  terminfo
-       implementations.   As  a  rule,  user-defined capabilities
-       intended for use by termcap applications should be limited
-       to  booleans  and  numbers  to avoid running past the 1023
-       byte limit assumed by termcap  implementations  and  their
-       applications.   In  particular, providing extended sets of
-       function keys (past the 60 numbered keys and  the  handful
-       of special named keys) is best done using the longer names
-       available using terminfo.

-       The following entry, describing an ANSI-standard terminal,
-       is  representative  of  what a <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> entry for a modern
-       terminal typically looks like.
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Terminfo-Capabilities-Syntax">Terminfo Capabilities Syntax</a></H3><PRE>
+       The terminfo entry consists of  several  <I>capabilities</I>,  i.e.,  features
+       that  the  terminal  has,  or  methods  for  exercising  the terminal's
+       features.
+
+       After the first field (giving the name(s) of the terminal entry), there
+       should be one or more <I>capability</I> fields.  These are boolean, numeric or
+       string names with corresponding values:
+
+       <B>o</B>   Boolean capabilities are true  when  present,  false  when  absent.
+           There is no explicit value for boolean capabilities.
+
+       <B>o</B>   Numeric  capabilities  have  a  "#"  following  the  name,  then an
+           unsigned decimal integer value.
+
+       <B>o</B>   String capabilities have a "=" following the name, then  an  string
+           of characters making up the capability value.
+
+           String  capabilities  can be split into multiple lines, just as the
+           fields comprising a terminal  entry  can  be  split  into  multiple
+           lines.   While  blanks  between fields are ignored, blanks embedded
+           within a string value are retained, except for leading blanks on  a
+           line.
+
+       Any  capability  can  be  <I>canceled</I>,  i.e., suppressed from the terminal
+       entry, by following its name with "@" rather than a capability value.
+
+
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Similar-Terminals">Similar Terminals</a></H3><PRE>
+       If there are two very similar  terminals,  one  (the  variant)  can  be
+       defined   as  being  just  like  the  other  (the  base)  with  certain
+       exceptions.  In the definition of the variant,  the  string  capability
+       <B>use</B> can be given with the name of the base terminal:
+
+       <B>o</B>   The  capabilities  given before <B>use</B> override those in the base type
+           named by <B>use</B>.
+
+       <B>o</B>   If there are multiple <B>use</B> capabilities, they are merged in  reverse
+           order.   That  is,  the rightmost <B>use</B> reference is processed first,
+           then the one to its left, and so forth.
+
+       <B>o</B>   Capabilities given explicitly in the entry override  those  brought
+           in by <B>use</B> references.
+
+       A  capability  can  be  canceled  by placing <B>xx@</B> to the left of the use
+       reference that imports it, where <I>xx</I> is the  capability.   For  example,
+       the entry
+
+              2621-nl, smkx@, rmkx@, use=2621,
+
+       defines a 2621-nl that does not have the <B>smkx</B> or <B>rmkx</B> capabilities, and
+       hence does not turn on the function key labels  when  in  visual  mode.
+       This  is  useful  for  different modes for a terminal, or for different
+       user preferences.
+
+       An entry included via <B>use</B> can contain canceled capabilities, which have
+       the  same  effect as if those cancels were inline in the using terminal
+       entry.
+
+
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Predefined-Capabilities">Predefined Capabilities</a></H3><PRE>
+       The following is a complete table of the  capabilities  included  in  a
+       terminfo  description  block  and available to terminfo-using code.  In
+       each line of the table,
+
+       The <B>variable</B> is the name by  which  the  programmer  (at  the  terminfo
+       level) accesses the capability.
+
+       The  <B>capname</B> is the short name used in the text of the database, and is
+       used by a person updating the database.   Whenever  possible,  capnames
+       are chosen to be the same as or similar to the ANSI X3.64-1979 standard
+       (now superseded by  ECMA-48,  which  uses  identical  or  very  similar
+       names).    Semantics   are   also   intended  to  match  those  of  the
+       specification.
+
+       The termcap code is the old <B>termcap</B> capability name (some  capabilities
+       are new, and have names which termcap did not originate).
+
+       Capability  names have no hard length limit, but an informal limit of 5
+       characters has been adopted to keep them short and to allow the tabs in
+       the source file <B>Caps</B> to line up nicely.
+
+       Finally,  the description field attempts to convey the semantics of the
+       capability.  You may find some codes in the description field:
+
+       (P)    indicates that padding may be specified
+
+       #[1-9] in the description field indicates that  the  string  is  passed
+              through <B><A HREF="curs_terminfo.3X.html">tparm(3X)</A></B> with parameters as given (#<I>i</I>).
+
+              If  no  parameters  are  listed  in the description, passing the
+              string through <B><A HREF="curs_terminfo.3X.html">tparm(3X)</A></B> may give unexpected results,  e.g.,  if
+              it contains percent (%%) signs.
+
+       (P*)   indicates  that  padding may vary in proportion to the number of
+              lines affected
+
+       (#<I>i</I>)   indicates the <I>i</I>th parameter.
+
+
+       These are the boolean capabilities:

+        The  XSI Curses standard added these hardcopy capabilities.  They were
+        used in some post-4.1 versions of System V curses, e.g.,  Solaris  2.5
+        and  IRIX  6.x.  Except for <B>YI</B>, the <B>ncurses</B> termcap names for them are
+        invented.  According to the XSI Curses standard, they have no  termcap
+        names.   If  your compiled terminfo entries use these, they may not be
+        binary-compatible with System V terminfo entries after SVr4.1; beware!

+       The preceding section listed the <I>predefined</I>  capabilities.   They  deal
+       with  some special features for terminals no longer (or possibly never)
+       produced.  Occasionally there are special features of  newer  terminals
+       which  are awkward or impossible to represent by reusing the predefined
+       capabilities.
+
+       <B>ncurses</B>   addresses   this   limitation   by   allowing    user-defined
+       capabilities.   The  <B>tic</B> and <B>infocmp</B> programs provide the <B>-x</B> option for
+       this purpose.  When <B>-x</B> is set, <B>tic</B> treats unknown capabilities as user-
+       defined.   That  is,  if <B>tic</B> encounters a capability name which it does
+       not recognize, it infers its type (boolean, number or string) from  the
+       syntax  and  makes  an  extended  table entry for that capability.  The
+       <B><A HREF="curs_extend.3X.html">use_extended_names(3X)</A></B> function makes  this  information  conditionally
+       available  to  applications.   The  ncurses  library  provides the data
+       leaving most of the behavior to applications:
+
+       <B>o</B>   User-defined capability strings whose  name  begins  with  "k"  are
+           treated as function keys.
+
+       <B>o</B>   The  types  (boolean,  number,  string)  determined  by  <B>tic</B> can be
+           inferred by successful calls on <B>tigetflag</B>, etc.
+
+       <B>o</B>   If the capability name happens to be two characters, the capability
+           is also available through the termcap interface.
+
+       While  termcap  is  said  to  be  extensible  because it does not use a
+       predefined set of capabilities, in practice it has been limited to  the
+       capabilities  defined  by  terminfo  implementations.  As a rule, user-
+       defined capabilities intended for use by termcap applications should be
+       limited  to  booleans  and  numbers to avoid running past the 1023 byte
+       limit assumed by termcap implementations and  their  applications.   In
+       particular,  providing  extended  sets  of  function  keys (past the 60
+       numbered keys and the handful of special named keys) is best done using
+       the longer names available using terminfo.

-       All capabilities have names.  For instance, the fact  that
-       ANSI-standard  terminals  have <EM>automatic</EM> <EM>margins</EM> (i.e., an
-       automatic return and line-feed when the end of a  line  is
-       reached)  is  indicated  by  the capability <STRONG>am</STRONG>.  Hence the
-       description of ansi includes <STRONG>am</STRONG>.  Numeric capabilities are
-       followed  by  the character "#" and then a positive value.
-       Thus <STRONG>cols</STRONG>, which indicates the number of columns the  ter-
-       minal  has,  gives  the  value  "80" for ansi.  Values for
-       numeric capabilities may be specified in decimal, octal or
-       hexadecimal,  using the C programming language conventions
-       (e.g., 255, 0377 and 0xff or 0xFF).
-
-       Finally, string valued capabilities, such as <STRONG>el</STRONG> (clear  to
-       end of line sequence) are given by the two-character code,
-       an "=", and then a string ending  at  the  next  following
-       ",".
-
-       A  number  of  escape sequences are provided in the string
-       valued capabilities for easy encoding of characters there.
-       Both  <STRONG>\E</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>\e</STRONG> map to an ESCAPE character, <STRONG>^x</STRONG> maps to a
-       control-x for any appropriate x, and the sequences  <STRONG>\n</STRONG>  <STRONG>\l</STRONG>
-       <STRONG>\r</STRONG>  <STRONG>\t</STRONG>  <STRONG>\b</STRONG>  <STRONG>\f</STRONG>  <STRONG>\s</STRONG> give a newline, line-feed, return, tab,
-       backspace, form-feed, and space.  Other escapes include
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   <STRONG>\^</STRONG> for <STRONG>^</STRONG>,
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   <STRONG>\\</STRONG> for <STRONG>\</STRONG>,
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   <STRONG>\</STRONG>, for comma,
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   <STRONG>\:</STRONG> for <STRONG>:</STRONG>,
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   and <STRONG>\0</STRONG> for null.
-
-           <STRONG>\0</STRONG> will produce  \200,  which  does  not  terminate  a
-           string  but behaves as a null character on most termi-
-           nals, providing CS7 is specified.  See <STRONG>stty(1)</STRONG>.
-
-           The reason for this quirk is to maintain  binary  com-
-           patibility  of  the compiled terminfo files with other
-           implementations, e.g., the SVr4 systems,  which  docu-
-           ment  this.   Compiled  terminfo files use null-termi-
-           nated strings, with no lengths.  Modifying this  would
-           require a new binary format, which would not work with
-           other implementations.
-
-       Finally, characters may be given  as  three  octal  digits
-       after a <STRONG>\</STRONG>.
-
-       A  delay  in  milliseconds may appear anywhere in a string
-       capability, enclosed in $&lt;..&gt; brackets, as in  <STRONG>el</STRONG>=\EK$&lt;5&gt;,
-       and  padding  characters  are supplied by <EM>tputs</EM> to provide
-       this delay.  The delay must be a number with at  most  one
-       decimal place of precision; it may be followed by suffixes
-       "*" or "/" or both.  A  "*"  indicates  that  the  padding
-       required  is  proportional to the number of lines affected
-       by the  operation,  and  the  amount  given  is  the  per-
-       affected-unit  padding  required.   (In the case of insert
-       character,  the  factor  is  still  the  number  of  <EM>lines</EM>
-       affected.)   Normally,  padding  is advisory if the device
-       has the <STRONG>xon</STRONG> capability; it is used  for  cost  computation
-       but  does not trigger delays.  A "/" suffix indicates that
-       the padding is mandatory and forces a delay of  the  given
-       number  of  milliseconds  even on devices for which <STRONG>xon</STRONG> is
-       present to indicate flow control.
-
-       Sometimes individual capabilities must be  commented  out.
-       To  do this, put a period before the capability name.  For
-       example, see the second <STRONG>ind</STRONG> in the example above.

-<H3><a name="h3-Preparing-Descriptions">Preparing Descriptions</a></H3><PRE>
-       We  now  outline how to prepare descriptions of terminals.
-       The most effective way to prepare a  terminal  description
-       is  by  imitating the description of a similar terminal in
-       <EM>terminfo</EM> and to build up a  description  gradually,  using
-       partial descriptions with <EM>vi</EM> or some other screen-oriented
-       program to check that they are correct.  Be aware  that  a
-       very unusual terminal may expose deficiencies in the abil-
-       ity of the <EM>terminfo</EM> file to describe it  or  bugs  in  the
-       screen-handling code of the test program.
-
-       To  get the padding for insert line right (if the terminal
-       manufacturer did not document it) a severe test is to edit
-       a  large file at 9600 baud, delete 16 or so lines from the
-       middle of the screen, then hit the "u" key  several  times
-       quickly.   If the terminal messes up, more padding is usu-
-       ally needed.  A similar test can be used for insert  char-
-       acter.
+       Other escapes include
 
+       <B>o</B>   <B>\^</B> for <B>^</B>,
 
-</PRE>
-<H3><a name="h3-Basic-Capabilities">Basic Capabilities</a></H3><PRE>
-       The  number  of  columns  on each line for the terminal is
-       given by the <STRONG>cols</STRONG> numeric capability.  If the terminal  is
-       a  CRT, then the number of lines on the screen is given by
-       the <STRONG>lines</STRONG> capability.  If the terminal wraps around to the
-       beginning  of the next line when it reaches the right mar-
-       gin, then it should have the <STRONG>am</STRONG> capability.  If the termi-
-       nal  can  clear its screen, leaving the cursor in the home
-       position, then this is given by the <STRONG>clear</STRONG> string  capabil-
-       ity.   If the terminal overstrikes (rather than clearing a
-       position when a character is struck over) then  it  should
-       have  the  <STRONG>os</STRONG>  capability.   If the terminal is a printing
-       terminal, with no soft copy unit, give it both <STRONG>hc</STRONG> and  <STRONG>os</STRONG>.
-       (<STRONG>os</STRONG>  applies to storage scope terminals, such as TEKTRONIX
-       4010 series, as well as hard copy and APL terminals.)   If
-       there is a code to move the cursor to the left edge of the
-       current row, give this as <STRONG>cr</STRONG>.  (Normally this will be car-
-       riage  return,  control M.)  If there is a code to produce
-       an audible signal (bell, beep, etc) give this as <STRONG>bel</STRONG>.
-
-       If there is a code to move the cursor one position to  the
-       left  (such  as backspace) that capability should be given
-       as <STRONG>cub1</STRONG>.  Similarly, codes to move to the right,  up,  and
-       down should be given as <STRONG>cuf1</STRONG>, <STRONG>cuu1</STRONG>, and <STRONG>cud1</STRONG>.  These local
-       cursor motions should not alter the text they  pass  over,
-       for  example,  you would not normally use "<STRONG>cuf1</STRONG>= " because
-       the space would erase the character moved over.
-
-       A very important point  here  is  that  the  local  cursor
-       motions  encoded in <EM>terminfo</EM> are undefined at the left and
-       top edges  of  a  CRT  terminal.   Programs  should  never
-       attempt  to  backspace  around the left edge, unless <STRONG>bw</STRONG> is
-       given, and never attempt to go up locally off the top.  In
-       order  to  scroll text up, a program will go to the bottom
-       left corner of the screen and send the <STRONG>ind</STRONG> (index) string.
-
-       To scroll text down, a program goes to the top left corner
-       of  the  screen  and  sends the <STRONG>ri</STRONG> (reverse index) string.
-       The strings <STRONG>ind</STRONG> and <STRONG>ri</STRONG> are undefined  when  not  on  their
-       respective corners of the screen.
-
-       Parameterized versions of the scrolling sequences are <STRONG>indn</STRONG>
-       and <STRONG>rin</STRONG> which have the same semantics as <STRONG>ind</STRONG> and <STRONG>ri</STRONG> except
-       that  they take one parameter, and scroll that many lines.
-       They are also undefined except at the appropriate edge  of
-       the screen.
-
-       The  <STRONG>am</STRONG>  capability tells whether the cursor sticks at the
-       right edge of the screen when text  is  output,  but  this
-       does not necessarily apply to a <STRONG>cuf1</STRONG> from the last column.
-       The only local motion which is defined from the left  edge
-       is  if  <STRONG>bw</STRONG>  is  given, then a <STRONG>cub1</STRONG> from the left edge will
-       move to the right edge of the previous row.  If <STRONG>bw</STRONG> is  not
-       given,  the effect is undefined.  This is useful for draw-
-       ing a box around the edge of the screen, for example.   If
-       the  terminal has switch selectable automatic margins, the
-       <EM>terminfo</EM> file usually assumes that this is on;  i.e.,  <STRONG>am</STRONG>.
-       If  the  terminal  has  a command which moves to the first
-       column of the next line, that command can be given as  <STRONG>nel</STRONG>
-       (newline).   It  does not matter if the command clears the
-       remainder of the current line, so if the terminal  has  no
-       <STRONG>cr</STRONG>  and <STRONG>lf</STRONG> it may still be possible to craft a working <STRONG>nel</STRONG>
-       out of one or both of them.
-
-       These  capabilities  suffice  to  describe  hard-copy  and
-       "glass-tty"  terminals.   Thus  the  model  33 teletype is
-       described as
+       <B>o</B>   <B>\\</B> for <B>\</B>,
+
+       <B>o</B>   <B>\</B>, for comma,
+
+       <B>o</B>   <B>\:</B> for <B>:</B>,
+
+       <B>o</B>   and <B>\0</B> for null.
+
+           <B>\0</B> will produce \200, which does not terminate a string but behaves
+           as a null character on most terminals, providing CS7 is  specified.
+           See <B>stty(1)</B>.
+
+           The  reason  for  this quirk is to maintain binary compatibility of
+           the compiled terminfo files with other implementations,  e.g.,  the
+           SVr4  systems,  which  document  this.  Compiled terminfo files use
+           null-terminated strings, with no  lengths.   Modifying  this  would
+           require  a  new  binary  format,  which  would  not work with other
+           implementations.
+
+       Finally, characters may be given as three octal digits after a <B>\</B>.
+
+       A delay in milliseconds may appear anywhere  in  a  string  capability,
+       enclosed  in  $&lt;..&gt;  brackets, as in <B>el</B>=\EK$&lt;5&gt;, and padding characters
+       are supplied by <B><A HREF="curs_terminfo.3X.html">tputs(3X)</A></B> to provide this delay.
+
+       <B>o</B>   The delay must be a number  with  at  most  one  decimal  place  of
+           precision; it may be followed by suffixes "*" or "/" or both.
+
+       <B>o</B>   A  "*"  indicates  that the padding required is proportional to the
+           number of lines affected by the operation, and the amount given  is
+           the  per-affected-unit  padding  required.   (In the case of insert
+           character, the factor is still the number of <I>lines</I> affected.)
+
+           Normally, padding is advisory if the device has the <B>xon</B> capability;
+           it is used for cost computation but does not trigger delays.
+
+       <B>o</B>   A  "/"  suffix indicates that the padding is mandatory and forces a
+           delay of the given number of milliseconds even on devices for which
+           <B>xon</B> is present to indicate flow control.
+
+       Sometimes  individual  capabilities must be commented out.  To do this,

+       compiled-in  list  of  places  to  search  which  can  be overridden by
+       environment variables.  Before starting to search,  <B>ncurses</B>  eliminates
+       duplicates in its search list.
+
+       <B>o</B>   If  the  environment variable TERMINFO is set, it is interpreted as
+           the pathname of a directory containing the compiled description you
+           are working on.  Only that directory is searched.
+
+       <B>o</B>   If  TERMINFO is not set, <B>ncurses</B> will instead look in the directory
+           <B>$HOME/.terminfo</B> for a compiled description.
+
+       <B>o</B>   Next, if the environment variable  TERMINFO_DIRS  is  set,  <B>ncurses</B>
+           will  interpret  the  contents of that variable as a list of colon-
+           separated directories (or database files) to be searched.
+
+           An empty directory name (i.e., if the variable begins or ends  with
+           a  colon, or contains adjacent colons) is interpreted as the system
+           location <I>/usr/share/terminfo</I>.
+
+       <B>o</B>   Finally, <B>ncurses</B> searches these compiled-in locations:
+
+           <B>o</B>   a list of directories (no default value), and
+
+           <B>o</B>   the  system  terminfo   directory,   <I>/usr/share/terminfo</I>   (the

+       We  now  outline  how  to  prepare descriptions of terminals.  The most
+       effective way to prepare a terminal description  is  by  imitating  the
+       description  of  a  similar  terminal  in  <I>terminfo</I>  and  to build up a
+       description gradually, using partial descriptions with <I>vi</I> or some other
+       screen-oriented  program to check that they are correct.  Be aware that
+       a very unusual terminal may expose deficiencies in the ability  of  the
+       <I>terminfo</I> file to describe it or bugs in the screen-handling code of the
+       test program.
+
+       To get the padding for insert line right (if the terminal  manufacturer
+       did  not  document  it)  a  severe test is to edit a large file at 9600
+       baud, delete 16 or so lines from the middle of the screen, then hit the
+       "u" key several times quickly.  If the terminal messes up, more padding
+       is usually needed.  A similar test can be used for insert character.
+
+
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Basic-Capabilities">Basic Capabilities</a></H3><PRE>
+       The number of columns on each line for the terminal  is  given  by  the
+       <B>cols</B>  numeric capability.  If the terminal is a CRT, then the number of
+       lines on the screen is given by the <B>lines</B> capability.  If the  terminal
+       wraps  around  to  the  beginning  of the next line when it reaches the
+       right margin, then it should have the <B>am</B> capability.  If  the  terminal
+       can  clear  its  screen,  leaving the cursor in the home position, then
+       this is  given  by  the  <B>clear</B>  string  capability.   If  the  terminal
+       overstrikes (rather than clearing a position when a character is struck
+       over) then it should have the <B>os</B> capability.   If  the  terminal  is  a
+       printing terminal, with no soft copy unit, give it both <B>hc</B> and <B>os</B>.  (<B>os</B>
+       applies to storage scope terminals, such as TEKTRONIX 4010  series,  as
+       well  as  hard copy and APL terminals.)  If there is a code to move the
+       cursor to the left edge of the current row, give this as <B>cr</B>.  (Normally
+       this  will  be  carriage  return,  control/M.)   If  there is a code to
+       produce an audible signal (bell, beep, etc) give this as <B>bel</B>.
+
+       If there is a code to move the cursor one position to the left (such as
+       backspace)  that  capability should be given as <B>cub1</B>.  Similarly, codes
+       to move to the right, up, and down should be given as <B>cuf1</B>,  <B>cuu1</B>,  and
+       <B>cud1</B>.   These  local cursor motions should not alter the text they pass
+       over, for example, you would not  normally  use  "<B>cuf1</B>= "  because  the
+       space would erase the character moved over.
+
+       A very important point here is that the local cursor motions encoded in
+       <I>terminfo</I> are undefined at the left and top edges  of  a  CRT  terminal.
+       Programs should never attempt to backspace around the left edge, unless
+       <B>bw</B> is given, and never attempt to go up locally off the top.  In  order
+       to  scroll  text up, a program will go to the bottom left corner of the
+       screen and send the <B>ind</B> (index) string.
+
+       To scroll text down, a program goes to  the  top  left  corner  of  the
+       screen and sends the <B>ri</B> (reverse index) string.  The strings <B>ind</B> and <B>ri</B>
+       are undefined when not on their respective corners of the screen.
+
+       Parameterized versions of the scrolling  sequences  are  <B>indn</B>  and  <B>rin</B>
+       which  have  the same semantics as <B>ind</B> and <B>ri</B> except that they take one
+       parameter, and scroll that many lines.  They are also undefined  except
+       at the appropriate edge of the screen.
+
+       The  <B>am</B> capability tells whether the cursor sticks at the right edge of
+       the screen when text is output, but this does not necessarily apply  to
+       a  <B>cuf1</B>  from  the last column.  The only local motion which is defined
+       from the left edge is if <B>bw</B> is given, then a <B>cub1</B> from  the  left  edge
+       will  move  to the right edge of the previous row.  If <B>bw</B> is not given,
+       the effect is undefined.  This is useful for drawing a box  around  the
+       edge of the screen, for example.  If the terminal has switch selectable
+       automatic margins, the <I>terminfo</I> file usually assumes that this  is  on;
+       i.e.,  <B>am</B>.   If  the  terminal  has  a command which moves to the first
+       column of the next line, that command can be given  as  <B>nel</B>  (newline).
+       It  does  not matter if the command clears the remainder of the current
+       line, so if the terminal has no <B>cr</B> and <B>lf</B> it may still be  possible  to
+       craft a working <B>nel</B> out of one or both of them.
+
+       These  capabilities  suffice  to  describe  hard-copy  and  "glass-tty"
+       terminals.  Thus the model 33 teletype is described as

-            be very complicated when written on one line.  The <STRONG>-f</STRONG>
-            option splits the string into lines  with  the  parts
-            indented.

-       Binary operations are in postfix form with the operands in
-       the usual order.  That  is,  to  get  x-5  one  would  use

-       escape-string evaluations.
-
-       Consider the HP2645, which, to get to row 3 and column 12,
-       needs  to  be  sent  \E&amp;a12c03Y padded for 6 milliseconds.
-       Note that the order of the rows and  columns  is  inverted
-       here,  and that the row and column are printed as two dig-
-       its.  Thus its <STRONG>cup</STRONG> capability is "cup=6\E&amp;%p2%2dc%p1%2dY".
-
-       The Microterm ACT-IV needs the current row and column sent
-       preceded  by  a <STRONG>^T</STRONG>, with the row and column simply encoded
-       in binary, "cup=^T%p1%c%p2%c".  Terminals which  use  "%c"
-       need  to  be  able  to backspace the cursor (<STRONG>cub1</STRONG>), and to
-       move the cursor up one line on the screen (<STRONG>cuu1</STRONG>).  This is
-       necessary  because it is not always safe to transmit <STRONG>\n</STRONG> <STRONG>^D</STRONG>
-       and <STRONG>\r</STRONG>, as the system may change or  discard  them.   (The
-       library  routines  dealing  with terminfo set tty modes so
-       that tabs are never expanded, so \t is safe to send.  This
-       turns out to be essential for the Ann Arbor 4080.)
-
-       A final example is the LSI ADM-3a, which uses row and col-
-       umn  offset  by  a  blank  character,  thus  "cup=\E=%p1%'
-       '%+%c%p2%'  '%+%c".   After sending "\E=", this pushes the
-       first parameter, pushes the ASCII value for a space  (32),
-       adds  them  (pushing  the sum on the stack in place of the
-       two previous values) and outputs that value as  a  charac-
-       ter.   Then  the  same  is  done for the second parameter.
-       More complex arithmetic is possible using the stack.

-       not  of  memory.   (Thus, the \EH sequence on HP terminals
-       cannot be used for <STRONG>home</STRONG>.)

-       <STRONG>hpa</STRONG> (horizontal position absolute) and <STRONG>vpa</STRONG> (vertical posi-

-       general two parameter sequence (as with  the  hp2645)  and
-       can be used in preference to <STRONG>cup</STRONG>.  If there are parameter-
-       ized local motions (e.g., move  <EM>n</EM>  spaces  to  the  right)
-       these can be given as <STRONG>cud</STRONG>, <STRONG>cub</STRONG>, <STRONG>cuf</STRONG>, and <STRONG>cuu</STRONG> with a single

-

-       arises,  for example, from terminals like the Concept with

-       cursor addressing, a one screen-sized window must be fixed
-       into  the terminal for cursor addressing to work properly.

-       If  the terminal can open a new blank line before the line
-       where the cursor is, this should be given as <STRONG>il1</STRONG>; this  is
-       done  only  from the first position of a line.  The cursor
-       must then appear on the newly blank line.  If the terminal
-       can  delete  the  line  which  the cursor is on, then this
-       should be given as <STRONG>dl1</STRONG>; this is done only from  the  first
-       position  on  the line to be deleted.  Versions of <STRONG>il1</STRONG> and
-       <STRONG>dl1</STRONG> which take a single parameter  and  insert  or  delete
-       that many lines can be given as <STRONG>il</STRONG> and <STRONG>dl</STRONG>.
-
-       If  the terminal has a settable scrolling region (like the
-       vt100) the command to set this can be described  with  the
-       <STRONG>csr</STRONG>  capability,  which  takes two parameters: the top and
-       bottom lines of the scrolling region.  The cursor position
-       is, alas, undefined after using this command.
-
-       It  is possible to get the effect of insert or delete line
-       using <STRONG>csr</STRONG> on a properly chosen region; the <STRONG>sc</STRONG> and <STRONG>rc</STRONG> (save
-       and  restore  cursor)  commands may be useful for ensuring
-       that your synthesized insert/delete string does  not  move
-       the  cursor.  (Note that the <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG> library does this
-       synthesis  automatically,  so   you   need   not   compose
-       insert/delete strings for an entry with <STRONG>csr</STRONG>).
-
-       Yet another way to construct insert and delete might be to
-       use a combination of index with  the  memory-lock  feature
-       found  on some terminals (like the HP-700/90 series, which
-       however also has insert/delete).
-
-       Inserting lines at the top or bottom  of  the  screen  can
-       also  be  done using <STRONG>ri</STRONG> or <STRONG>ind</STRONG> on many terminals without a
-       true insert/delete line, and is often faster even on  ter-
-       minals with those features.
-
-       The  boolean  <STRONG>non_dest_scroll_region</STRONG> should be set if each
-       scrolling window is effectively a view port on  a  screen-
-       sized  canvas.   To  test  for  this  capability, create a
-       scrolling region in the middle of the screen, write  some-
-       thing  to  the  bottom line, move the cursor to the top of
-       the region, and do <STRONG>ri</STRONG> followed by <STRONG>dl1</STRONG> or <STRONG>ind</STRONG>.  If the data
-       scrolled  off  the  bottom  of  the  region  by the <STRONG>ri</STRONG> re-
-       appears, then scrolling is non-destructive.  System V  and
-       XSI  Curses  expect that <STRONG>ind</STRONG>, <STRONG>ri</STRONG>, <STRONG>indn</STRONG>, and <STRONG>rin</STRONG> will simu-
-       late destructive scrolling; their  documentation  cautions
-       you  not  to  define <STRONG>csr</STRONG> unless this is true.  This <STRONG>curses</STRONG>
-       implementation is more liberal and will do explicit erases
-       after scrolling if <STRONG>ndstr</STRONG> is defined.
-
-       If the terminal has the ability to define a window as part
-       of memory, which all commands affect, it should  be  given
-       as the parameterized string <STRONG>wind</STRONG>.  The four parameters are
-       the starting and ending lines in memory and  the  starting
-       and ending columns in memory, in that order.

-       If  the terminal can retain display memory above, then the
-       <STRONG>da</STRONG> capability should be given; if display  memory  can  be
-       retained  below,  then <STRONG>db</STRONG> should be given.  These indicate
-       that deleting a line  or  scrolling  may  bring  non-blank

-<H3><a name="h3-Insert_Delete-Character">Insert/Delete Character</a></H3><PRE>
-       There are two basic kinds of  intelligent  terminals  with
-       respect  to insert/delete character which can be described
-       using <EM>terminfo.</EM>  The most common  insert/delete  character
-       operations  affect only the characters on the current line
-       and shift characters off the  end  of  the  line  rigidly.
-       Other  terminals,  such  as the Concept 100 and the Perkin
-       Elmer Owl, make a distinction between  typed  and  untyped
-       blanks  on  the  screen, shifting upon an insert or delete
-       only to an untyped blank on the  screen  which  is  either
-       eliminated, or expanded to two untyped blanks.
-
-       You  can determine the kind of terminal you have by clear-
-       ing the screen and then typing text  separated  by  cursor
-       motions.   Type  "abc    def"  using  local cursor motions
-       (not spaces) between the "abc" and the "def".  Then  posi-
-       tion  the  cursor before the "abc" and put the terminal in
-       insert mode.  If typing characters causes the rest of  the
-       line  to shift rigidly and characters to fall off the end,
-       then your terminal does not distinguish between blanks and
-       untyped  positions.  If the "abc" shifts over to the "def"
-       which then move together around the  end  of  the  current
-       line  and onto the next as you insert, you have the second
-       type of terminal, and should give the capability <STRONG>in</STRONG>, which
-       stands for "insert null".
+       <B>%i</B>   add 1 to first two parameters (for ANSI terminals)
 
-       While  these  are  two  logically separate attributes (one
-       line versus multi-line insert mode, and special  treatment
-       of  untyped spaces) we have seen no terminals whose insert
-       mode cannot be described with the single attribute.
-
-       Terminfo can describe both terminals which have an  insert
-       mode, and terminals which send a simple sequence to open a
-       blank position on the current  line.   Give  as  <STRONG>smir</STRONG>  the
-       sequence  to  get  into  insert  mode.   Give  as <STRONG>rmir</STRONG> the
-       sequence to leave insert  mode.   Now  give  as  <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>  any
-       sequence needed to be sent just before sending the charac-
-       ter to be inserted.  Most terminals  with  a  true  insert
-       mode  will  not give <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>; terminals which send a sequence
-       to open a screen position should give it here.
-
-       If your terminal has both, insert mode is usually  prefer-
-       able  to  <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>.   Technically,  you  should  not give both
-       unless the terminal actually requires both to be  used  in
-       combination.   Accordingly,  some  non-curses applications
-       get confused if both are present; the symptom  is  doubled
-       characters in an update using insert.  This requirement is
-       now rare; most <STRONG>ich</STRONG> sequences do not require previous smir,
-       and most smir insert modes do not require <STRONG>ich1</STRONG> before each
-       character.  Therefore, the  new  <STRONG>curses</STRONG>  actually  assumes
-       this  is the case and uses either <STRONG>rmir</STRONG>/<STRONG>smir</STRONG> or <STRONG>ich</STRONG>/<STRONG>ich1</STRONG> as
-       appropriate (but not both).  If you have to write an entry
-       to  be  used under new curses for a terminal old enough to
-       need both, include the <STRONG>rmir</STRONG>/<STRONG>smir</STRONG> sequences in <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>.
-
-       If post insert padding is needed, give this as a number of
-       milliseconds  in <STRONG>ip</STRONG> (a string option).  Any other sequence
-       which may need to be sent after  an  insert  of  a  single
-       character may also be given in <STRONG>ip</STRONG>.  If your terminal needs
-       both to be placed into an "insert mode" and a special code
-       to  precede  each  inserted character, then both <STRONG>smir</STRONG>/<STRONG>rmir</STRONG>
-       and <STRONG>ich1</STRONG> can be given, and both will  be  used.   The  <STRONG>ich</STRONG>
-       capability, with one parameter, <EM>n</EM>, will repeat the effects
-       of <STRONG>ich1</STRONG> <EM>n</EM> times.
-
-       If padding is necessary between characters typed while not
-       in insert mode, give this as a number of milliseconds pad-
-       ding in <STRONG>rmp</STRONG>.
-
-       It is occasionally  necessary  to  move  around  while  in
-       insert  mode  to delete characters on the same line (e.g.,
-       if there is a tab after the insertion position).  If  your
-       terminal  allows  motion while in insert mode you can give
-       the capability <STRONG>mir</STRONG> to speed up  inserting  in  this  case.
-       Omitting  <STRONG>mir</STRONG>  will  affect  only  speed.   Some terminals
-       (notably Datamedia's) must not have <STRONG>mir</STRONG> because of the way
-       their insert mode works.
-
-       Finally,  you  can specify <STRONG>dch1</STRONG> to delete a single charac-
-       ter, <STRONG>dch</STRONG> with one parameter, <EM>n</EM>, to  delete  <EM>n</EM>  <EM>characters,</EM>
-       and  delete mode by giving <STRONG>smdc</STRONG> and <STRONG>rmdc</STRONG> to enter and exit
-       delete mode (any mode the terminal needs to be  placed  in
-       for <STRONG>dch1</STRONG> to work).
-
-       A  command to erase <EM>n</EM> characters (equivalent to outputting
-       <EM>n</EM> blanks without moving the cursor) can be  given  as  <STRONG>ech</STRONG>
-       with one parameter.

+            This forms an if-then-else.  The <B>%e</B> <I>elsepart</I> is optional.  Usually
+            the  <B>%?</B>  <I>expr</I>  part  pushes a value onto the stack, and <B>%t</B> pops it

-       If  your  terminal  has  one  or  more  kinds  of  display
-       attributes, these can be represented in a number  of  dif-
-       ferent ways.  You should choose one display form as <EM>stand-</EM>
-       <EM>out</EM> <EM>mode</EM>, representing a good, high contrast, easy-on-the-
-       eyes,  format  for  highlighting  error messages and other
-       attention getters.  (If you have a choice,  reverse  video
-       plus  half-bright  is  good, or reverse video alone.)  The
-       sequences to enter and exit standout  mode  are  given  as
-       <STRONG>smso</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>rmso</STRONG>, respectively.  If the code to change into
-       or out of standout mode leaves one or even two blank  spa-
-       ces  on  the  screen,  as the TVI 912 and Teleray 1061 do,
-       then <STRONG>xmc</STRONG> should be given to tell how many spaces are left.
-
-       Codes to begin underlining  and  end  underlining  can  be
-       given  as <STRONG>smul</STRONG> and <STRONG>rmul</STRONG> respectively.  If the terminal has
-       a code to underline the current  character  and  move  the
-       cursor one space to the right, such as the Microterm Mime,
-       this can be given as <STRONG>uc</STRONG>.
-
-       Other capabilities to  enter  various  highlighting  modes
-       include  <STRONG>blink</STRONG>  (blinking) <STRONG>bold</STRONG> (bold or extra bright) <STRONG>dim</STRONG>
-       (dim or half-bright) <STRONG>invis</STRONG> (blanking  or  invisible  text)
-       <STRONG>prot</STRONG>  (protected)  <STRONG>rev</STRONG>  (reverse video) <STRONG>sgr0</STRONG> (turn off <EM>all</EM>
-       attribute modes)  <STRONG>smacs</STRONG>  (enter  alternate  character  set
-       mode)  and  <STRONG>rmacs</STRONG>  (exit  alternate  character  set mode).
-       Turning on any of these modes singly may or may  not  turn
-       off other modes.
-
-       If  there  is  a sequence to set arbitrary combinations of
-       modes, this should be given as <STRONG>sgr</STRONG> (set attributes),  tak-
-       ing  9 parameters.  Each parameter is either 0 or nonzero,
-       as the corresponding attribute is on or off.  The 9 param-
-       eters  are, in order: standout, underline, reverse, blink,
-       dim, bold, blank, protect, alternate character  set.   Not
-       all  modes  need be supported by <STRONG>sgr</STRONG>, only those for which
-       corresponding separate attribute commands exist.

+            Use  the  <B>-f</B>  option of <B>tic</B> or <B>infocmp</B> to see the structure of if-
+            then-else's.  Some strings, e.g., <B>sgr</B> can be very complicated when
+            written  on  one line.  The <B>-f</B> option splits the string into lines
+            with the parts indented.
+
+       Binary operations are in postfix form with the operands  in  the  usual
+       order.   That  is,  to  get  x-5  one would use "%gx%{5}%-".  <B>%P</B> and <B>%g</B>
+       variables are persistent across escape-string evaluations.
+
+       Consider the HP2645, which, to get to row 3 and column 12, needs to  be
+       sent  \E&amp;a12c03Y padded for 6 milliseconds.  Note that the order of the
+       rows and columns is inverted here, and that  the  row  and  column  are
+       printed    as    two    digits.     Thus    its   <B>cup</B>   capability   is
+       "cup=6\E&amp;%p2%2dc%p1%2dY".
+
+       The Microterm ACT-IV needs the current row and column sent preceded  by
+       a   <B>^T</B>,   with   the   row   and   column  simply  encoded  in  binary,
+       "cup=^T%p1%c%p2%c".  Terminals which  use  "%c"  need  to  be  able  to
+       backspace  the cursor (<B>cub1</B>), and to move the cursor up one line on the
+       screen (<B>cuu1</B>).  This is necessary because it  is  not  always  safe  to
+       transmit  <B>\n</B> <B>^D</B> and <B>\r</B>, as the system may change or discard them.  (The
+       library routines dealing with terminfo set tty modes so that  tabs  are
+       never  expanded, so \t is safe to send.  This turns out to be essential
+       for the Ann Arbor 4080.)
+
+       A final example is the LSI ADM-3a, which uses row and column offset  by
+       a blank character, thus "cup=\E=%p1%' '%+%c%p2%' '%+%c".  After sending
+       "\E=", this pushes the first parameter, pushes the ASCII  value  for  a
+       space (32), adds them (pushing the sum on the stack in place of the two
+       previous values) and outputs that value as a character.  Then the  same
+       is  done for the second parameter.  More complex arithmetic is possible
+       using the stack.

+       If the terminal has a fast way to home the cursor (to very  upper  left
+       corner  of screen) then this can be given as <B>home</B>; similarly a fast way
+       of getting to the lower left-hand corner can be given as <B>ll</B>;  this  may
+       involve going up with <B>cuu1</B> from the home position, but a program should
+       never do this itself (unless <B>ll</B> does) because it can make no assumption
+       about  the  effect  of moving up from the home position.  Note that the
+       home position is the same as addressing  to  (0,0):  to  the  top  left
+       corner  of  the  screen,  not of memory.  (Thus, the \EH sequence on HP
+       terminals cannot be used for <B>home</B>.)
+
+       If the terminal has row or column absolute cursor addressing, these can
+       be  given  as  single  parameter  capabilities <B>hpa</B> (horizontal position
+       absolute) and <B>vpa</B> (vertical position absolute).   Sometimes  these  are
+       shorter  than  the  more  general  two  parameter sequence (as with the
+       hp2645)  and  can  be  used  in  preference  to  <B>cup</B>.   If  there   are
+       parameterized  local  motions  (e.g., move <I>n</I> spaces to the right) these
+       can be given as  <B>cud</B>,  <B>cub</B>,  <B>cuf</B>,  and  <B>cuu</B>  with  a  single  parameter
+       indicating  how many spaces to move.  These are primarily useful if the
+       terminal does not have <B>cup</B>, such as the TEKTRONIX 4025.
+
+       If the terminal needs to be in a special mode when  running  a  program
+       that uses these capabilities, the codes to enter and exit this mode can
+       be given as <B>smcup</B> and <B>rmcup</B>.  This arises, for example, from  terminals
+       like  the  Concept  with more than one page of memory.  If the terminal
+       has only memory relative cursor  addressing  and  not  screen  relative
+       cursor  addressing,  a  one  screen-sized window must be fixed into the
+       terminal for cursor addressing to work properly.  This is also used for
+       the  TEKTRONIX  4025,  where <B>smcup</B> sets the command character to be the
+       one used by terminfo.  If the  <B>smcup</B>  sequence  will  not  restore  the

+       using  <B>ri</B>  or  <B>ind</B> on many terminals without a true insert/delete line,
+       and is often faster even on terminals with those features.
+
+       The boolean <B>non_dest_scroll_region</B> should  be  set  if  each  scrolling
+       window  is  effectively  a view port on a screen-sized canvas.  To test
+       for this capability, create a scrolling region in  the  middle  of  the
+       screen,  write something to the bottom line, move the cursor to the top
+       of the region, and do <B>ri</B> followed by <B>dl1</B> or <B>ind</B>.  If the data  scrolled
+       off  the  bottom  of the region by the <B>ri</B> re-appears, then scrolling is
+       non-destructive.  System V and XSI Curses expect that  <B>ind</B>,  <B>ri</B>,  <B>indn</B>,
+       and  <B>rin</B>  will  simulate  destructive  scrolling;  their  documentation
+       cautions you not to define  <B>csr</B>  unless  this  is  true.   This  <B>curses</B>
+       implementation  is  more  liberal  and  will  do  explicit erases after
+       scrolling if <B>ndsrc</B> is defined.
+
+       If the terminal has the ability to define a window as part  of  memory,
+       which  all  commands  affect,  it  should be given as the parameterized
+       string <B>wind</B>.  The four parameters are the starting and ending lines  in
+       memory and the starting and ending columns in memory, in that order.
+
+       If the terminal can retain display memory above, then the <B>da</B> capability
+       should be given; if display memory  can  be  retained  below,  then  <B>db</B>
+       should  be given.  These indicate that deleting a line or scrolling may
+       bring non-blank lines up from below or that scrolling back with <B>ri</B>  may
+       bring down non-blank lines.

+       There  are  two  basic  kinds  of intelligent terminals with respect to
+       insert/delete character which can be  described  using  <I>terminfo.</I>   The
+       most   common   insert/delete  character  operations  affect  only  the
+       characters on the current line and shift characters off the end of  the
+       line  rigidly.  Other terminals, such as the Concept 100 and the Perkin
+       Elmer Owl, make a distinction between typed and untyped blanks  on  the
+       screen,  shifting  upon an insert or delete only to an untyped blank on
+       the screen which is either  eliminated,  or  expanded  to  two  untyped
+       blanks.
+
+       You  can determine the kind of terminal you have by clearing the screen
+       and then typing text separated by cursor  motions.   Type  "abc    def"
+       using  local  cursor  motions  (not  spaces)  between the "abc" and the
+       "def".  Then position the cursor before the "abc" and put the  terminal
+       in  insert  mode.   If typing characters causes the rest of the line to
+       shift rigidly and characters to fall off the end,  then  your  terminal
+       does  not  distinguish  between  blanks  and untyped positions.  If the
+       "abc" shifts over to the "def" which then move together around the  end
+       of  the  current  line  and  onto  the next as you insert, you have the
+       second type of terminal, and  should  give  the  capability  <B>in</B>,  which
+       stands for "insert null".
+
+       While  these  are  two  logically  separate attributes (one line versus
+       multi-line insert mode, and special treatment  of  untyped  spaces)  we
+       have  seen  no terminals whose insert mode cannot be described with the
+       single attribute.
+
+       Terminfo can describe both terminals which have  an  insert  mode,  and
+       terminals  which send a simple sequence to open a blank position on the
+       current line.  Give as <B>smir</B> the sequence to get into insert mode.  Give
+       as  <B>rmir</B>  the  sequence  to  leave  insert  mode.  Now give as <B>ich1</B> any
+       sequence needed to be sent just before  sending  the  character  to  be
+       inserted.   Most  terminals with a true insert mode will not give <B>ich1</B>;
+       terminals which send a sequence to open a screen position  should  give
+       it here.
+
+       If  your  terminal has both, insert mode is usually preferable to <B>ich1</B>.
+       Technically, you should not give  both  unless  the  terminal  actually
+       requires  both to be used in combination.  Accordingly, some non-curses
+       applications get confused if both are present; the symptom  is  doubled
+       characters  in  an  update using insert.  This requirement is now rare;
+       most <B>ich</B> sequences do not require previous smir, and most  smir  insert
+       modes  do  not  require <B>ich1</B> before each character.  Therefore, the new
+       <B>curses</B> actually assumes this is the case and uses either  <B>rmir</B>/<B>smir</B>  or
+       <B>ich</B>/<B>ich1</B>  as appropriate (but not both).  If you have to write an entry
+       to be used under new curses for a terminal old  enough  to  need  both,
+       include the <B>rmir</B>/<B>smir</B> sequences in <B>ich1</B>.
+
+       If post insert padding is needed, give this as a number of milliseconds
+       in <B>ip</B> (a string option).  Any other sequence which may need to be  sent
+       after an insert of a single character may also be given in <B>ip</B>.  If your
+       terminal needs both to be placed into an "insert mode"  and  a  special
+       code  to  precede each inserted character, then both <B>smir</B>/<B>rmir</B> and <B>ich1</B>
+       can be given, and both will be used.   The  <B>ich</B>  capability,  with  one
+       parameter, <I>n</I>, will repeat the effects of <B>ich1</B> <I>n</I> times.
+
+       If  padding  is  necessary between characters typed while not in insert
+       mode, give this as a number of milliseconds padding in <B>rmp</B>.
+
+       It is occasionally necessary to move around while  in  insert  mode  to
+       delete  characters  on the same line (e.g., if there is a tab after the
+       insertion position).  If your terminal allows motion  while  in  insert
+       mode  you  can  give  the  capability <B>mir</B> to speed up inserting in this
+       case.  Omitting <B>mir</B> will affect only speed.   Some  terminals  (notably
+       Datamedia's)  must  not  have  <B>mir</B> because of the way their insert mode
+       works.
+
+       Finally, you can specify <B>dch1</B> to delete a single  character,  <B>dch</B>  with
+       one  parameter,  <I>n</I>,  to  delete <I>n</I> <I>characters,</I> and delete mode by giving
+       <B>smdc</B> and <B>rmdc</B> to enter and exit delete  mode  (any  mode  the  terminal
+       needs to be placed in for <B>dch1</B> to work).
+
+       A  command  to  erase  <I>n</I>  characters (equivalent to outputting <I>n</I> blanks
+       without moving the cursor) can be given as <B>ech</B> with one parameter.

+       If your terminal has one or more kinds of display attributes, these can
+       be  represented  in  a number of different ways.  You should choose one
+       display form as <I>standout</I> <I>mode</I>,  representing  a  good,  high  contrast,
+       easy-on-the-eyes,  format  for  highlighting  error  messages and other
+       attention getters.  (If you have a choice,  reverse  video  plus  half-
+       bright  is  good,  or reverse video alone.)  The sequences to enter and
+       exit standout mode are given as <B>smso</B> and <B>rmso</B>,  respectively.   If  the
+       code  to  change  into  or  out of standout mode leaves one or even two
+       blank spaces on the screen, as the TVI 912 and Teleray  1061  do,  then
+       <B>xmc</B> should be given to tell how many spaces are left.
+
+       Codes to begin underlining and end underlining can be given as <B>smul</B> and
+       <B>rmul</B> respectively.  If the terminal has a code to underline the current
+       character  and  move  the  cursor  one  space to the right, such as the
+       Microterm Mime, this can be given as <B>uc</B>.
+
+       Other capabilities to enter various highlighting  modes  include  <B>blink</B>
+       (blinking)  <B>bold</B>  (bold or extra bright) <B>dim</B> (dim or half-bright) <B>invis</B>
+       (blanking or invisible text) <B>prot</B> (protected) <B>rev</B> (reverse video)  <B>sgr0</B>
+       (turn  off  <I>all</I>  attribute  modes) <B>smacs</B> (enter alternate character set
+       mode) and <B>rmacs</B> (exit alternate character set mode).  Turning on any of
+       these modes singly may or may not turn off other modes.
+
+       If  there  is  a  sequence to set arbitrary combinations of modes, this
+       should be given as <B>sgr</B> (set attributes),  taking  9  parameters.   Each
+       parameter  is either 0 or nonzero, as the corresponding attribute is on
+       or off.  The 9 parameters are, in order: standout, underline,  reverse,
+       blink,  dim,  bold,  blank,  protect, alternate character set.  Not all
+       modes need be supported by <B>sgr</B>,  only  those  for  which  corresponding
+       separate attribute commands exist.
 
        For example, the DEC vt220 supports most of the modes:
 
-        <STRONG>tparm</STRONG> <STRONG>parameter</STRONG>      <STRONG>attribute</STRONG>        <STRONG>escape</STRONG> <STRONG>sequence</STRONG>

-        p2                   underline        \E[0;4m
-        p3                   reverse          \E[0;7m
-        p4                   blink            \E[0;5m

-        p9                   altcharset       ^O (off) ^N (on)
-
-       We begin each escape sequence by turning off any  existing
-       modes,  since  there  is no quick way to determine whether
-       they are active.  Standout is set up to be the combination
-       of  reverse  and  bold.   The vt220 terminal has a protect
-       mode, though it is not commonly used  in  sgr  because  it
-       protects  characters  on  the  screen from the host's era-
-       sures.  The altcharset mode also is different in  that  it
-       is  either ^O or ^N, depending on whether it is off or on.
-       If all modes are turned  on,  the  resulting  sequence  is
-       \E[0;1;4;5;7;8m^N.
-
-       Some  sequences  are common to different modes.  For exam-
-       ple, ;7 is output when either p1 or p3 is true,  that  is,
-       if either standout or reverse modes are turned on.

-       when they move to a new line or the cursor  is  addressed.

-       If the terminal has a way of flashing the screen to  indi-
-       cate  an  error quietly (a bell replacement) then this can

-
-       If the cursor needs to be made more  visible  than  normal
-       when it is not on the bottom line (to make, for example, a
-       non-blinking underline into an easier  to  find  block  or
-       blinking underline) give this sequence as <STRONG>cvvis</STRONG>.  If there
-       is a way to make the  cursor  completely  invisible,  give

-       undoes the effects of both of these modes.
-
-       If your terminal correctly generates underlined characters
-       (with  no  special  codes  needed) even though it does not
-       overstrike, then you should give the capability <STRONG>ul</STRONG>.  If  a
-       character  overstriking  another leaves both characters on
-       the screen, specify the capability <STRONG>os</STRONG>.  If overstrikes are
-       erasable  with  a  blank, then this should be indicated by

-       If  the terminal has hardware tabs, the command to advance
-       to the next tab stop can be given as <STRONG>ht</STRONG>  (usually  control
-       I).  A "back-tab" command which moves leftward to the pre-
-       ceding tab stop can be given as <STRONG>cbt</STRONG>.   By  convention,  if
-       the  teletype  modes indicate that tabs are being expanded
-       by the computer rather than being sent  to  the  terminal,
-       programs  should  not  use  <STRONG>ht</STRONG>  or  <STRONG>cbt</STRONG>  even  if they are
-       present, since the user may not have the tab  stops  prop-
-       erly  set.   If  the  terminal has hardware tabs which are
-       initially set every <EM>n</EM> spaces when the terminal is  powered
-       up,  the numeric parameter <STRONG>it</STRONG> is given, showing the number
-       of spaces the tabs are set to.  This is normally  used  by
-       the  <EM>tset</EM> command to determine whether to set the mode for
-       hardware tab expansion, and whether to set the tab  stops.
-       If  the  terminal  has tab stops that can be saved in non-

-       These  strings are expected to set the terminal into modes
-       consistent with the  rest  of  the  terminfo  description.
-       They are normally sent to the terminal, by the <EM>init</EM> option

-
-       Most  initialization  is  done with <STRONG>is2</STRONG>.  Special terminal
-       modes can be set up without duplicating strings by putting
-       the  common  sequences in <STRONG>is2</STRONG> and special cases in <STRONG>is1</STRONG> and
-       <STRONG>is3</STRONG>.
-
-       A set of sequences that does a harder reset from a totally
-       unknown state can be given as <STRONG>rs1</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs2</STRONG>, <STRONG>rf</STRONG> and <STRONG>rs3</STRONG>, analo-
-       gous to <STRONG>is1</STRONG> <STRONG>,</STRONG>  <STRONG>is2</STRONG>  <STRONG>,</STRONG>  <STRONG>if</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>is3</STRONG>  respectively.   These
-       strings  are  output  by  the <EM>reset</EM> program, which is used
-       when the terminal gets into a wedged state.  Commands  are
-       normally  placed  in <STRONG>rs1</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs2</STRONG> <STRONG>rs3</STRONG> and <STRONG>rf</STRONG> only if they pro-
-       duce annoying effects on the screen and are not  necessary
-       when  logging  in.   For  example,  the command to set the
-       vt100 into 80-column mode would normally be part  of  <STRONG>is2</STRONG>,
-       but  it causes an annoying glitch of the screen and is not
-       normally needed since the terminal is usually  already  in
-       80 column mode.
-
-       The <EM>reset</EM> program writes strings including <STRONG>iprog</STRONG>, etc., in
-       the same order as  the  <EM>init</EM>  program,  using  <STRONG>rs1</STRONG>,  etc.,
-       instead of <STRONG>is1</STRONG>, etc.  If any of <STRONG>rs1</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs2</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs3</STRONG>, or <STRONG>rf</STRONG> reset
-       capability strings are missing, the  <EM>reset</EM>  program  falls
-       back  upon  the  corresponding  initialization  capability
-       string.
-
-       If there are commands to set and clear tab stops, they can
-       be  given  as <STRONG>tbc</STRONG> (clear all tab stops) and <STRONG>hts</STRONG> (set a tab
-       stop in the current column of every row).  If a more  com-
-       plex  sequence  is  needed  to  set  the  tabs than can be
-       described by this, the sequence can be placed  in  <STRONG>is2</STRONG>  or
-       <STRONG>if</STRONG>.
+       <B>o</B>   If  the  terminal  has hardware tabs, the command to advance to the

-<H3><a name="h3-Delays-and-Padding">Delays and Padding</a></H3><PRE>
-       Many  older  and  slower  terminals  do not support either
-       XON/XOFF or DTR handshaking, including hard copy terminals
-       and  some  very  archaic CRTs (including, for example, DEC
-       VT100s).  These may require padding characters after  cer-
-       tain cursor motions and screen changes.
-
-       If the terminal uses xon/xoff handshaking for flow control
-       (that is, it automatically emits ^S back to the host  when
-       its input buffers are close to full), set <STRONG>xon</STRONG>.  This capa-
-       bility suppresses the emission of padding.  You  can  also
-       set  it for memory-mapped console devices effectively that
-       do not have a speed  limit.   Padding  information  should
-       still  be  included so that routines can make better deci-
-       sions about relative costs, but actual pad characters will
-       not be transmitted.
-
-       If  <STRONG>pb</STRONG> (padding baud rate) is given, padding is suppressed
-       at baud rates below the value of <STRONG>pb</STRONG>.  If the entry has  no
-       padding  baud rate, then whether padding is emitted or not
-       is completely controlled by <STRONG>xon</STRONG>.
-
-       If the terminal requires other than a null (zero)  charac-
-       ter  as  a  pad,  then this can be given as <STRONG>pad</STRONG>.  Only the
-       first character of the <STRONG>pad</STRONG> string is used.
+           By  convention,  if the teletype modes indicate that tabs are being
+           expanded by the computer rather than being sent  to  the  terminal,
+           programs  should  not use <B>ht</B> or <B>cbt</B> even if they are present, since

-</PRE>
-<H3><a name="h3-Status-Lines">Status Lines</a></H3><PRE>
-       Some terminals have an extra "status line"  which  is  not
-       normally  used  by  software  (and thus not counted in the
-       terminal's <STRONG>lines</STRONG> capability).
-
-       The simplest case  is  a  status  line  which  is  cursor-
-       addressable  but  not part of the main scrolling region on
-       the screen; the Heathkit H19 has a  status  line  of  this
-       kind,  as  would  a 24-line VT100 with a 23-line scrolling
-       region set up on initialization.  This situation is  indi-
-       cated by the <STRONG>hs</STRONG> capability.
-
-       Some terminals with status lines need special sequences to
-       access the status line.   These  may  be  expressed  as  a
-       string with single parameter <STRONG>tsl</STRONG> which takes the cursor to
-       a given zero-origin column on the status line.  The  capa-
-       bility <STRONG>fsl</STRONG> must return to the main-screen cursor positions
-       before the last <STRONG>tsl</STRONG>.  You may need  to  embed  the  string
-       values  of <STRONG>sc</STRONG> (save cursor) and <STRONG>rc</STRONG> (restore cursor) in <STRONG>tsl</STRONG>
-       and <STRONG>fsl</STRONG> to accomplish this.
-
-       The status line is normally assumed to be the  same  width
-       as  the width of the terminal.  If this is untrue, you can
-       specify it with the numeric capability <STRONG>wsl</STRONG>.
-
-       A command to erase or blank the status line may be  speci-
-       fied as <STRONG>dsl</STRONG>.
-
-       The   boolean   capability  <STRONG>eslok</STRONG>  specifies  that  escape
-       sequences, tabs, etc., work ordinarily in the status line.
-
-       The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> implementation does not yet use any  of  these
-       capabilities.   They are documented here in case they ever
-       become important.
+           The <B>it</B> capability is normally used by the <B>tset</B> command to determine
+           whether  to set the mode for hardware tab expansion, and whether to
+           set the tab stops.  If the terminal has tab stops that can be saved
+           in  non-volatile  memory,  the terminfo description can assume that

-       Most color terminals are either "Tektronix-like"  or  "HP-
-       like".   Tektronix-like terminals have a predefined set of
-       N colors (where N usually 8), and can  set  character-cell
-       foreground and background characters independently, mixing
-       them into N * N color-pairs.  On  HP-like  terminals,  the
-       use must set each color pair up separately (foreground and
-       background are  not  independently  settable).   Up  to  M
-       color-pairs  may  be  set  up  from  2*M different colors.
-       ANSI-compatible terminals are Tektronix-like.
-
-       Some basic color capabilities are independent of the color
-       method.  The numeric capabilities <STRONG>colors</STRONG> and <STRONG>pairs</STRONG> specify
-       the maximum numbers of colors and color-pairs that can  be
-       displayed  simultaneously.   The <STRONG>op</STRONG> (original pair) string
-       resets foreground and background colors to  their  default
-       values  for the terminal.  The <STRONG>oc</STRONG> string resets all colors
-       or color-pairs to their default values for  the  terminal.
-       Some  terminals  (including  many  PC  terminal emulators)
-       erase screen  areas  with  the  current  background  color
-       rather  than the power-up default background; these should
-       have the boolean capability <STRONG>bce</STRONG>.
-
-       To change the current foreground or background color on  a
-       Tektronix-type  terminal,  use <STRONG>setaf</STRONG> (set ANSI foreground)
-       and <STRONG>setab</STRONG> (set ANSI background) or <STRONG>setf</STRONG>  (set  foreground)
-       and  <STRONG>setb</STRONG> (set background).  These take one parameter, the
-       color  number.   The  SVr4  documentation  describes  only
-       <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG>;  the  XPG4  draft  says that "If the terminal
-       supports ANSI escape sequences to set background and fore-
-       ground,  they  should be coded as <STRONG>setaf</STRONG> and <STRONG>setab</STRONG>, respec-
-       tively.  If the terminal supports other  escape  sequences
-       to  set background and foreground, they should be coded as
-       <STRONG>setf</STRONG> and <STRONG>setb</STRONG>, respectively.  The <EM>vidputs()</EM>  function  and
-       the  refresh  functions  use  <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>  and <STRONG>setab</STRONG> if they are
-       defined."
-
-       The <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG> and <STRONG>setf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setb</STRONG> capabilities take  a  single
-       numeric argument each.  Argument values 0-7 of <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG>
-       are portably defined as follows (the middle column is  the
-       symbolic #define available in the header for the <STRONG>curses</STRONG> or
-       <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> libraries).  The terminal hardware is free to  map
-       these  as  it  likes,  but  the RGB values indicate normal
-       locations in color space.

-       It is important to not confuse the two sets of color capa-
-       bilities; otherwise red/blue will be interchanged  on  the
-       display.
-
-       On  an  HP-like terminal, use <STRONG>scp</STRONG> with a color-pair number
-       parameter to set which color pair is current.
-
-       On a Tektronix-like terminal, the capability  <STRONG>ccc</STRONG>  may  be
-       present  to  indicate that colors can be modified.  If so,
-       the <STRONG>initc</STRONG> capability will take a color number (0 to <STRONG>colors</STRONG>
-       -  1)and  three  more parameters which describe the color.
-       These three parameters default to being interpreted as RGB
-       (Red,  Green, Blue) values.  If the boolean capability <STRONG>hls</STRONG>
-       is present, they are instead as HLS (Hue, Lightness, Satu-
-       ration) indices.  The ranges are terminal-dependent.
-
-       On  an  HP-like  terminal, <STRONG>initp</STRONG> may give a capability for
-       changing a color-pair value.  It will take  seven  parame-
-       ters;  a  color-pair  number (0 to <STRONG>max_pairs</STRONG> - 1), and two
-       triples describing first background  and  then  foreground
-       colors.   These  parameters  must be (Red, Green, Blue) or
-       (Hue, Lightness, Saturation) depending on <STRONG>hls</STRONG>.
-
-       On some color terminals, colors collide  with  highlights.
-       You can register these collisions with the <STRONG>ncv</STRONG> capability.

-       If the terminal requires other than a null (zero)  charac-
-       ter  as  a  pad,  then this can be given as pad.  Only the
-       first character of the pad string is used.  If the  termi-
-       nal does not have a pad character, specify npc.  Note that
-       ncurses implements  the  termcap-compatible  <STRONG>PC</STRONG>  variable;
-       though  the  application  may  set this value to something
-       other than a null, ncurses will test  <STRONG>npc</STRONG>  first  and  use
-       napms if the terminal has no pad character.
-
-       If  the terminal can move up or down half a line, this can
-       be indicated with <STRONG>hu</STRONG>  (half-line  up)  and  <STRONG>hd</STRONG>  (half-line
-       down).  This is primarily useful for superscripts and sub-
-       scripts on hard-copy terminals.  If a  hard-copy  terminal
-       can  eject  to  the next page (form feed), give this as <STRONG>ff</STRONG>
-       (usually control L).
-
-       If there is a command to repeat a given character a  given
-       number  of times (to save time transmitting a large number
-       of identical characters) this can be  indicated  with  the
-       parameterized  string  <STRONG>rep</STRONG>.   The  first  parameter is the
-       character to be repeated and the second is the  number  of
-       times  to repeat it.  Thus, tparm(repeat_char, 'x', 10) is
+              output
+                     <B>is1</B> and
+                     <B>is2</B>
+
+              set the margins using
+                     <B>mgc</B> or
+                     <B>smglp</B> and <B>smgrp</B> or
+                     <B>smgl</B> and <B>smgr</B>
+
+              set tabs using
+                     <B>tbc</B> and <B>hts</B>
+
+              print the file
+                     <B>if</B>
+
+              and finally output
+                     <B>is3</B>.
+
+       Most initialization is done with <B>is2</B>.  Special terminal  modes  can  be
+       set  up  without duplicating strings by putting the common sequences in
+       <B>is2</B> and special cases in <B>is1</B> and <B>is3</B>.
+
+       A set of sequences that does a harder  reset  from  a  totally  unknown
+       state can be given as <B>rs1</B>, <B>rs2</B>, <B>rf</B> and <B>rs3</B>, analogous to <B>is1</B> <B>,</B> <B>is2</B> <B>,</B> <B>if</B>
+       and <B>is3</B> respectively.  These strings are  output  by  <I>reset</I>  option  of
+       <B>tput</B>,  or  by  the <B>reset</B> program (an alias of <B>tset</B>), which is used when
+       the terminal gets into a wedged state.  Commands are normally placed in
+       <B>rs1</B>, <B>rs2</B> <B>rs3</B> and <B>rf</B> only if they produce annoying effects on the screen
+       and are not necessary when logging in.  For example, the command to set
+       the  vt100  into  80-column  mode would normally be part of <B>is2</B>, but it
+       causes an annoying glitch of the screen  and  is  not  normally  needed
+       since the terminal is usually already in 80-column mode.
+
+       The  <B>reset</B>  program  writes  strings including <B>iprog</B>, etc., in the same
+       order as the <I>init</I> program, using <B>rs1</B>, etc., instead of  <B>is1</B>,  etc.   If
+       any  of  <B>rs1</B>, <B>rs2</B>, <B>rs3</B>, or <B>rf</B> reset capability strings are missing, the
+       <B>reset</B>  program  falls  back  upon  the   corresponding   initialization
+       capability string.
+
+       If  there are commands to set and clear tab stops, they can be given as
+       <B>tbc</B> (clear all tab stops) and <B>hts</B> (set a tab stop in the current column
+       of  every  row).   If a more complex sequence is needed to set the tabs
+       than can be described by this, the sequence can be placed in <B>is2</B> or <B>if</B>.
+
+       The <B>tput</B> <B>reset</B> command uses the same capability strings  as  the  <B>reset</B>
+       command,  although  the two programs (<B>tput</B> and <B>reset</B>) provide different
+       command-line options.
+
+       In  practice,  these  terminfo  capabilities  are  not  often  used  in
+       initialization of tabs (though they are required for the <B>tabs</B> program):
+
+       <B>o</B>   Almost all hardware terminals (at least those which supported tabs)
+           initialized those to every <I>eight</I> columns:
+
+           The only exception was the AT&amp;T 2300  series,  which  set  tabs  to
+           every <I>five</I> columns.
+
+       <B>o</B>   In  particular,  developers  of  the  hardware  terminals which are
+           commonly used as models  for  modern  terminal  emulators  provided
+           documentation demonstrating that <I>eight</I> columns were the standard.
+
+       <B>o</B>   Because of this, the terminal initialization programs <B>tput</B> and <B>tset</B>
+           use  the  <B>tbc</B>  (<B>clear_all_tabs</B>)  and  <B>hts</B>  (<B>set_tab</B>)   capabilities
+           directly  only when the <B>it</B> (<B>init_tabs</B>) capability is set to a value
+           other than <I>eight</I>.

+       Many older and slower terminals do not support either XON/XOFF  or  DTR
+       handshaking,  including  hard copy terminals and some very archaic CRTs
+       (including, for  example,  DEC  VT100s).   These  may  require  padding
+       characters after certain cursor motions and screen changes.
+
+       If the terminal uses xon/xoff handshaking for flow control (that is, it
+       automatically emits ^S back to the host  when  its  input  buffers  are
+       close  to  full),  set <B>xon</B>.  This capability suppresses the emission of
+       padding.  You  can  also  set  it  for  memory-mapped  console  devices
+       effectively that do not have a speed limit.  Padding information should
+       still be included so that routines  can  make  better  decisions  about
+       relative costs, but actual pad characters will not be transmitted.
+
+       If <B>pb</B> (padding baud rate) is given, padding is suppressed at baud rates
+       below the value of <B>pb</B>.  If the entry has no  padding  baud  rate,  then
+       whether padding is emitted or not is completely controlled by <B>xon</B>.
+
+       If  the  terminal requires other than a null (zero) character as a pad,
+       then this can be given as <B>pad</B>.  Only the first  character  of  the  <B>pad</B>
+       string is used.

+
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Status-Lines">Status Lines</a></H3><PRE>
+       Some  terminals  have an extra "status line" which is not normally used
+       by software (and thus not counted in the terminal's <B>lines</B> capability).
+
+       The simplest case is a status line which is cursor-addressable but  not
+       part of the main scrolling region on the screen; the Heathkit H19 has a
+       status line of this kind, as would  a  24-line  VT100  with  a  23-line
+       scrolling region set up on initialization.  This situation is indicated
+       by the <B>hs</B> capability.
+
+       Some terminals with status lines need special sequences to  access  the
+       status  line.  These may be expressed as a string with single parameter
+       <B>tsl</B> which takes the cursor to a given zero-origin column on the  status
+       line.   The  capability  <B>fsl</B>  must  return  to  the  main-screen cursor
+       positions before the last <B>tsl</B>.  You may need to embed the string values
+       of  <B>sc</B>  (save  cursor)  and  <B>rc</B>  (restore  cursor)  in  <B>tsl</B>  and <B>fsl</B> to
+       accomplish this.
+
+       The status line is normally assumed to be the same width as  the  width
+       of  the  terminal.   If  this  is  untrue,  you can specify it with the

+       A few notes apply to the table itself:
+
+       <B>o</B>   X/Open Curses incorrectly states that the mapping  for  <I>lantern</I>  is
+           uppercase  "I"  although Unix implementations use the lowercase "i"
+           mapping.
+
+       <B>o</B>   The DEC VT100 implemented graphics using  the  alternate  character
+           set  feature, temporarily switching <I>modes</I> and sending characters in
+           the range 0x60 (96) to 0x7e (126) (the <B>acsc</B>  <B>Value</B>  column  in  the
+           table).
+
+       <B>o</B>   The AT&amp;T terminal added graphics characters outside that range.
+
+           Some  of  the  characters  within the range do not match the VT100;
+           presumably they were used in the AT&amp;T terminal:  <I>board</I>  <I>of</I>  <I>squares</I>
+           replaces  the  VT100  <I>newline</I> symbol, while <I>lantern</I> <I>symbol</I> replaces
+           the VT100 <I>vertical</I> <I>tab</I> symbol.  The other VT100 symbols for control
+           characters  (<I>horizontal</I> <I>tab</I>, <I>carriage</I> <I>return</I> and <I>line-feed</I>) are not
+           (re)used in curses.
+
+       The best way to define a new device's graphics set is to add  a  column
+       to  a  copy of this table for your terminal, giving the character which
+       (when emitted between <B>smacs</B>/<B>rmacs</B> switches) will  be  rendered  as  the
+       corresponding graphic.  Then read off the VT100/your terminal character
+       pairs right to left in sequence; these become the ACSC string.

+       The curses library functions <B>init_pair</B> and  <B>init_color</B>  manipulate  the
+       <I>color</I>   <I>pairs</I>   and   <I>color</I>  <I>values</I>  discussed  in  this  section  (see
+       <B><A HREF="curs_color.3X.html">curs_color(3X)</A></B> for details on these and related functions).
+
+       Most color terminals are either "Tektronix-like" or "HP-like":
+
+       <B>o</B>   Tektronix-like terminals have a predefined set of <I>N</I> colors (where <I>N</I>
+           is usually 8), and can set character-cell foreground and background
+           characters independently, mixing them into <I>N</I> * <I>N</I> color-pairs.
+
+       <B>o</B>   On HP-like  terminals,  the  user  must  set  each  color  pair  up
+           separately   (foreground   and  background  are  not  independently
+           settable).  Up to <I>M</I> color-pairs may be set up  from  2*<I>M</I>  different
+           colors.  ANSI-compatible terminals are Tektronix-like.
+
+       Some basic color capabilities are independent of the color method.  The
+       numeric capabilities <B>colors</B> and <B>pairs</B> specify the  maximum  numbers  of
+       colors  and  color-pairs  that can be displayed simultaneously.  The <B>op</B>
+       (original pair) string resets foreground and background colors to their
+       default  values  for  the terminal.  The <B>oc</B> string resets all colors or
+       color-pairs to their default values for the terminal.   Some  terminals
+       (including  many  PC  terminal  emulators)  erase screen areas with the
+       current background color rather than the power-up  default  background;
+       these should have the boolean capability <B>bce</B>.
+
+       While  the  curses  library  works  with  <I>color</I>  <I>pairs</I>  (reflecting the
+       inability of some devices  to  set  foreground  and  background  colors
+       independently),  there  are  separate  capabilities  for  setting these
+       features:
+
+       <B>o</B>   To  change  the  current  foreground  or  background  color  on   a
+           Tektronix-type  terminal, use <B>setaf</B> (set ANSI foreground) and <B>setab</B>
+           (set ANSI background)  or  <B>setf</B>  (set  foreground)  and  <B>setb</B>  (set
+           background).  These take one parameter, the color number.  The SVr4
+           documentation describes only <B>setaf</B>/<B>setab</B>; the XPG4 draft says  that
+           "If  the  terminal supports ANSI escape sequences to set background
+           and  foreground,  they  should  be  coded  as  <B>setaf</B>   and   <B>setab</B>,
+           respectively.
+
+       <B>o</B>   If  the  terminal supports other escape sequences to set background
+           and  foreground,  they  should  be  coded   as   <B>setf</B>   and   <B>setb</B>,
+           respectively.   The  <B>vidputs</B>  and the <B><A HREF="curs_refresh.3X.html">refresh(3X)</A></B> functions use the
+           <B>setaf</B> and <B>setab</B> capabilities if they are defined.
+
+       The <B>setaf</B>/<B>setab</B>  and  <B>setf</B>/<B>setb</B>  capabilities  take  a  single  numeric
+       argument each.  Argument values 0-7 of <B>setaf</B>/<B>setab</B> are portably defined
+       as follows (the middle column is the symbolic #define available in  the
+       header  for the <B>curses</B> or <B>ncurses</B> libraries).  The terminal hardware is
+       free to map these as it likes,  but  the  RGB  values  indicate  normal
+       locations in color space.

+       It is important to not confuse the  two  sets  of  color  capabilities;
+       otherwise red/blue will be interchanged on the display.
+
+       On  an  HP-like terminal, use <B>scp</B> with a color-pair number parameter to
+       set which color pair is current.
+
+       Some terminals allow the <I>color</I> <I>values</I> to be modified:
+
+       <B>o</B>   On a Tektronix-like terminal, the capability <B>ccc</B> may be present  to
+           indicate  that colors can be modified.  If so, the <B>initc</B> capability
+           will take a color number (0 to <B>colors</B> - 1)and three more parameters
+           which  describe the color.  These three parameters default to being
+           interpreted as RGB (Red,  Green,  Blue)  values.   If  the  boolean
+           capability <B>hls</B> is present, they are instead as HLS (Hue, Lightness,
+           Saturation) indices.  The ranges are terminal-dependent.
+
+       <B>o</B>   On an HP-like terminal, <B>initp</B> may give a capability for changing  a
+           color-pair  value.   It  will  take  seven parameters; a color-pair
+           number (0 to <B>max_pairs</B> -  1),  and  two  triples  describing  first
+           background  and  then  foreground colors.  These parameters must be
+           (Red, Green, Blue) or (Hue,  Lightness,  Saturation)  depending  on
+           <B>hls</B>.
+
+       On  some  color  terminals,  colors  collide  with highlights.  You can
+       register these collisions with the <B>ncv</B> capability.  This is a  bit-mask
+       of   attributes   not   to  be  used  when  colors  are  enabled.   The
+       correspondence with the attributes understood by <B>curses</B> is as follows:
+
+                  <B>Attribute</B>              <B>Bit</B>   <B>Decimal</B>      <B>Set</B> <B>by</B>

+       If  the  terminal requires other than a null (zero) character as a pad,
+       then this can be given as pad.  Only the first  character  of  the  pad
+       string is used.  If the terminal does not have a pad character, specify
+       npc.  Note that ncurses implements the termcap-compatible <B>PC</B>  variable;
+       though  the  application  may  set this value to something other than a
+       null, ncurses will test <B>npc</B> first and use napms if the terminal has  no
+       pad character.
+
+       If  the terminal can move up or down half a line, this can be indicated
+       with <B>hu</B> (half-line up) and <B>hd</B>  (half-line  down).   This  is  primarily
+       useful  for  superscripts  and subscripts on hard-copy terminals.  If a

+       the number of times to repeat it.  Thus, tparm(repeat_char, 'x', 10) is
        the same as "xxxxxxxxxx".
 
-       If the terminal has a settable command character, such  as

-       ported  on  some  UNIX  systems:  The environment is to be

-       Terminal descriptions that do  not  represent  a  specific
-       kind of known terminal, such as <EM>switch</EM>, <EM>dialup</EM>, <EM>patch</EM>, and
-       <EM>network</EM>, should include the  <STRONG>gn</STRONG>  (generic)  capability  so
-       that  programs  can  complain that they do not know how to
-       talk to the terminal.  (This capability does not apply  to
-       <EM>virtual</EM>   terminal   descriptions  for  which  the  escape
-       sequences are known.)
-
-       If the terminal has a "meta key" which  acts  as  a  shift
-       key,  setting  the  8th  bit of any character transmitted,
-       this fact can be indicated with <STRONG>km</STRONG>.   Otherwise,  software
-       will assume that the 8th bit is parity and it will usually
-       be cleared.  If strings exist to turn this "meta mode"  on
-       and off, they can be given as <STRONG>smm</STRONG> and <STRONG>rmm</STRONG>.
-
-       If  the terminal has more lines of memory than will fit on
-       the screen at once, the number of lines of memory  can  be
-       indicated  with  <STRONG>lm</STRONG>.   A  value of <STRONG>lm</STRONG>#0 indicates that the
-       number of lines is not fixed, but that there is still more
-       memory than fits on the screen.
-
-       If the terminal is one of those supported by the UNIX vir-
-       tual terminal protocol, the terminal number can  be  given
-       as <STRONG>vt</STRONG>.
-
-       Media copy strings which control an auxiliary printer con-
-       nected to the terminal can be given as <STRONG>mc0</STRONG>: print the con-

-       turn on the printer.  When the printer  is  on,  all  text
-       sent  to  the terminal will be sent to the printer.  It is
-       undefined whether the text is also displayed on the termi-
-       nal screen when the printer is on.  A variation <STRONG>mc5p</STRONG> takes
-       one parameter, and leaves the printer on for as many char-
-       acters  as  the  value  of  the  parameter, then turns the
-       printer off.  The parameter should not  exceed  255.   All
-       text,  including  <STRONG>mc4</STRONG>,  is  transparently  passed  to  the
-       printer while an <STRONG>mc5p</STRONG> is in effect.
+       If the terminal has a settable command character, such as the TEKTRONIX
+       4025,  this can be indicated with <B>cmdch</B>.  A prototype command character
+       is chosen which is used in all capabilities.  This character  is  given
+       in  the  <B>cmdch</B>  capability to identify it.  The following convention is
+       supported on some UNIX systems: The environment is to be searched for a
+       <B>CC</B>  variable,  and if found, all occurrences of the prototype character
+       are replaced with the character in the environment variable.
+
+       Terminal descriptions that do not represent a specific  kind  of  known
+       terminal,  such  as  <I>switch</I>, <I>dialup</I>, <I>patch</I>, and <I>network</I>, should include
+       the <B>gn</B> (generic) capability so that programs can complain that they  do
+       not  know how to talk to the terminal.  (This capability does not apply

+
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Pitfalls-of-Long-Entries">Pitfalls of Long Entries</a></H3><PRE>
+       Long terminfo entries are unlikely to be a problem; to date,  no  entry
+       has   even   approached   terminfo's  4096-byte  string-table  maximum.
+       Unfortunately, the termcap translations are much more strictly  limited
+       (to 1023 bytes), thus termcap translations of long terminfo entries can
+       cause problems.
+
+       The man pages for 4.3BSD and older versions  of  <B>tgetent</B>  instruct  the
+       user  to  allocate a 1024-byte buffer for the termcap entry.  The entry
+       gets null-terminated by the termcap library, so that makes the  maximum
+       safe  length  for a termcap entry 1k-1 (1023) bytes.  Depending on what
+       the application and the termcap library being used does, and  where  in
+       the  termcap  file  the terminal type that <B>tgetent</B> is searching for is,
+       several bad things can happen.
+
+       Some termcap libraries print a warning message or exit if they find  an
+       entry that's longer than 1023 bytes; others do not; others truncate the
+       entries to 1023 bytes.  Some application programs  allocate  more  than
+       the recommended 1K for the termcap entry; others do not.
+
+       Each  termcap  entry has two important sizes associated with it: before
+       "tc" expansion, and after "tc" expansion.  "tc" is the capability  that
+       tacks on another termcap entry to the end of the current one, to add on
+       its capabilities.  If a termcap entry does not use the "tc" capability,
+       then of course the two lengths are the same.
+
+       The  "before tc expansion" length is the most important one, because it
+       affects more than just users of that particular terminal.  This is  the
+       length  of the entry as it exists in /etc/termcap, minus the backslash-
+       newline pairs, which <B>tgetent</B> strips out while reading it.  Some termcap
+       libraries strip off the final newline, too (GNU termcap does not).  Now
+       suppose:
+
+       <B>o</B>   a termcap entry before expansion is more than 1023 bytes long,
+
+       <B>o</B>   and the application has only allocated a 1k buffer,
+
+       <B>o</B>   and the termcap library (like the one in BSD/OS 1.1 and GNU)  reads
+           the  whole entry into the buffer, no matter what its length, to see
+           if it is the entry it wants,
+
+       <B>o</B>   and <B>tgetent</B> is searching for a terminal type  that  either  is  the
+           long  entry,  appears  in the termcap file after the long entry, or
+           does not appear in the file at all (so that <B>tgetent</B> has  to  search
+           the whole termcap file).
+
+       Then  <B>tgetent</B>  will  overwrite  memory, perhaps its stack, and probably
+       core  dump  the  program.   Programs  like  telnet   are   particularly
+       vulnerable;  modern  telnets  pass  along values like the terminal type
+       automatically.  The results are almost as undesirable  with  a  termcap
+       library,  like SunOS 4.1.3 and Ultrix 4.4, that prints warning messages
+       when it reads an overly long  termcap  entry.   If  a  termcap  library
+       truncates  long entries, like OSF/1 3.0, it is immune to dying here but
+       will return incorrect data for the terminal.
+
+       The "after tc expansion" length will  have  a  similar  effect  to  the
+       above, but only for people who actually set TERM to that terminal type,
+       since <B>tgetent</B> only does "tc" expansion once it is  found  the  terminal
+       type it was looking for, not while searching.
+
+       In  summary,  a termcap entry that is longer than 1023 bytes can cause,
+       on various combinations of termcap libraries and applications,  a  core
+       dump,  warnings, or incorrect operation.  If it is too long even before
+       "tc" expansion, it will have this effect even for users of  some  other
+       terminal  types  and  users whose TERM variable does not have a termcap
+       entry.
+
+       When in -C (translate to termcap) mode, the <B>ncurses</B>  implementation  of
+       <B><A HREF="tic.1M.html">tic(1M)</A></B>  issues  warning  messages  when the pre-tc length of a termcap
+       translation is too long.  The -c (check) option  also  checks  resolved
+       (after tc expansion) lengths.

-       If there are two very similar terminals, one (the variant)
-       can be defined as being just like  the  other  (the  base)
-       with  certain  exceptions.  In the definition of the vari-
-       ant, the string capability <STRONG>use</STRONG> can be given with the  name
-       of  the  base terminal.  The capabilities given before <STRONG>use</STRONG>
-       override those in the base type named by  <STRONG>use</STRONG>.   If  there
-       are  multiple <STRONG>use</STRONG> capabilities, they are merged in reverse
-       order.  That is, the rightmost <STRONG>use</STRONG> reference is  processed
-       first,  then the one to its left, and so forth.  Capabili-
-       ties given explicitly in the entry override those  brought
-       in by <STRONG>use</STRONG> references.
-
-       A capability can be canceled by placing <STRONG>xx@</STRONG> to the left of
-       the use reference that imports it, where <EM>xx</EM> is  the  capa-
-       bility.  For example, the entry
+       The parameter substitutions for <B>set_clock</B>  and  <B>display_clock</B>  are  not

+       xterm that can return mouse-tracking information in the  keyboard-input
+       stream.
 
-       defines  a  2621-nl  that  does  not have the <STRONG>smkx</STRONG> or <STRONG>rmkx</STRONG>

-       labels  when in visual mode.  This is useful for different

+       X/Open  Curses  does  not  mention italics.  Portable applications must

+       ncv.   If  italics  should work with colors, then the ncv value must be

+       extension sets.  Here is a summary, accurate as of October 1995:
 
-</PRE>
-<H3><a name="h3-Pitfalls-of-Long-Entries">Pitfalls of Long Entries</a></H3><PRE>
-       Long terminfo entries are unlikely to  be  a  problem;  to
-       date,  no  entry  has even approached terminfo's 4096-byte
-       string-table maximum.  Unfortunately, the termcap transla-
-       tions are much more strictly limited (to 1023 bytes), thus
-       termcap translations of long terminfo  entries  can  cause
-       problems.
-
-       The  man  pages for 4.3BSD and older versions of <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG>
-       instruct the user to allocate a 1024-byte buffer  for  the
-       termcap  entry.   The  entry  gets  null-terminated by the
-       termcap library, so that makes the maximum safe length for
-       a  termcap entry 1k-1 (1023) bytes.  Depending on what the
-       application and the termcap library being used  does,  and
-       where in the termcap file the terminal type that <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG>
-       is searching for is, several bad things can happen.
-
-       Some termcap libraries print a warning message or exit  if
-       they  find  an entry that's longer than 1023 bytes; others
-       do not; others truncate the entries to 1023  bytes.   Some
-       application programs allocate more than the recommended 1K
-       for the termcap entry; others do not.
-
-       Each termcap entry has two important sizes associated with
-       it: before "tc" expansion, and after "tc" expansion.  "tc"
-       is the capability that tacks on another termcap  entry  to
-       the  end  of  the current one, to add on its capabilities.
-       If a termcap entry does not use the "tc" capability,  then
-       of course the two lengths are the same.
-
-       The  "before  tc  expansion"  length is the most important
-       one, because it affects more than just users of that  par-
-       ticular  terminal.   This is the length of the entry as it
-       exists in /etc/termcap, minus the backslash-newline pairs,
-       which <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG> strips out while reading it.  Some termcap
-       libraries strip off the final newline,  too  (GNU  termcap
-       does not).  Now suppose:
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   a  termcap  entry  before  expansion is more than 1023
-           bytes long,
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   and the application has only allocated a 1k buffer,
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   and the termcap library (like the one  in  BSD/OS  1.1
-           and  GNU)  reads  the  whole entry into the buffer, no
-           matter what its length, to see if it is the  entry  it
-           wants,
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   and  <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG>  is  searching for a terminal type that
-           either is the long entry, appears in the termcap  file
-           after  the  long entry, or does not appear in the file
-           at all (so that <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG>  has  to  search  the  whole
-           termcap file).
-
-       Then  <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG>  will overwrite memory, perhaps its stack,
-       and probably core dump the program.  Programs like  telnet
-       are  particularly  vulnerable;  modern  telnets pass along
-       values like the terminal type automatically.  The  results
-       are  almost  as  undesirable  with a termcap library, like
-       SunOS 4.1.3 and Ultrix 4.4, that prints  warning  messages
-       when  it reads an overly long termcap entry.  If a termcap
-       library truncates long entries,  like  OSF/1  3.0,  it  is
-       immune  to  dying  here but will return incorrect data for
-       the terminal.
-
-       The "after tc expansion" length will have a similar effect
-       to the above, but only for people who actually set TERM to
-       that terminal type, since <STRONG>tgetent()</STRONG> only does "tc"  expan-
-       sion  once  it  is  found the terminal type it was looking
-       for, not while searching.
-
-       In summary, a termcap entry that is longer than 1023 bytes
-       can  cause,  on  various combinations of termcap libraries
-       and applications, a  core  dump,  warnings,  or  incorrect
-       operation.   If it is too long even before "tc" expansion,

-       It is not wise to count on portability of binary  terminfo
-       entries  between commercial UNIX versions.  The problem is
-       that there are at least two versions  of  terminfo  (under
-       HP-UX and AIX) which diverged from System V terminfo after
-       SVr1, and have added extension capabilities to the  string
-       table  that  (in  the binary format) collide with System V
-       and XSI Curses extensions.

-       Searching for terminal descriptions in <STRONG>$HOME/.terminfo</STRONG> and

-       Some  SVr4  <STRONG>curses</STRONG>  implementations,  and  all previous to
-       SVr4, do not interpret the %A and %O operators in  parame-
-       ter strings.
-
-       SVr4/XPG4  do  not  specify whether <STRONG>msgr</STRONG> licenses movement
-       while in an alternate-character-set mode (such modes  may,
-       among  other  things,  map CR and NL to characters that do
-       not trigger local motions).   The  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  implementation
-       ignores  <STRONG>msgr</STRONG>  in <STRONG>ALTCHARSET</STRONG> mode.  This raises the possi-
-       bility that an XPG4  implementation  making  the  opposite
-       interpretation  may need terminfo entries made for <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>
-       to have <STRONG>msgr</STRONG> turned off.
-
-       The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library handles insert-character  and  insert-
-       character modes in a slightly non-standard way to get bet-
-       ter update efficiency.  See  the  <STRONG>Insert/Delete</STRONG>  <STRONG>Character</STRONG>
-       subsection above.
-
-       The   parameter   substitutions  for  <STRONG>set_clock</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>dis-</STRONG>
-       <STRONG>play_clock</STRONG> are not documented in SVr4 or  the  XSI  Curses
-       standard.  They are deduced from the documentation for the
-       AT&amp;T 505 terminal.
-
-       Be careful assigning the <STRONG>kmous</STRONG>  capability.   The  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>
-       wants  to  interpret it as <STRONG>KEY_MOUSE</STRONG>, for use by terminals
-       and emulators like xterm that  can  return  mouse-tracking
-       information in the keyboard-input stream.
-
-       X/Open Curses does not mention italics.  Portable applica-
-       tions must assume that  numeric  capabilities  are  signed
-       16-bit  values.   This  includes  the <EM>no</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>color</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>video</EM> (ncv)
-       capability.  The 32768 mask value used  for  italics  with
-       ncv  can  be confused with an absent or cancelled ncv.  If
-       italics should work with colors, then the ncv  value  must
-       be specified, even if it is zero.
-
-       Different  commercial ports of terminfo and curses support
-       different subsets of the XSI Curses standard and (in  some
-       cases) different extension sets.  Here is a summary, accu-
-       rate as of October 1995:
-
-       <STRONG>SVR4,</STRONG> <STRONG>Solaris,</STRONG> <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> -- These support all SVr4 capabili-
-       ties.
-
-       <STRONG>SGI</STRONG>  --  Supports  the  SVr4  set,  adds  one undocumented
-       extended string capability (<STRONG>set_pglen</STRONG>).
-
-       <STRONG>SVr1,</STRONG> <STRONG>Ultrix</STRONG> -- These support a restricted subset of  ter-
-       minfo  capabilities.   The booleans end with <STRONG>xon_xoff</STRONG>; the
-       numerics with  <STRONG>width_status_line</STRONG>;  and  the  strings  with
-       <STRONG>prtr_non</STRONG>.
-
-       <STRONG>HP/UX</STRONG>  --  Supports  the  SVr1  subset,  plus the SVr[234]
-       numerics <STRONG>num_labels</STRONG>, <STRONG>label_height</STRONG>, <STRONG>label_width</STRONG>, plus func-
-       tion  keys  11  through  63, plus <STRONG>plab_norm</STRONG>, <STRONG>label_on</STRONG>, and
-       <STRONG>label_off</STRONG>, plus some incompatible extensions in the string
-       table.
-
-       <STRONG>AIX</STRONG>  --  Supports  the  SVr1 subset, plus function keys 11
-       through 63, plus a number  of  incompatible  string  table
-       extensions.
-
-       <STRONG>OSF</STRONG> -- Supports both the SVr4 set and the AIX extensions.
