-       <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 20161015).
-
-       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>Terminfo</EM>  is  a data base describing terminals, used by screen-oriented
+       programs such as <STRONG>nvi(1)</STRONG>, <STRONG>lynx(1)</STRONG>, <STRONG>mutt(1)</STRONG>, and  other  curses  applica-
+       tions,  using  high-level calls to libraries such as <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>.  It is
+       also used via low-level calls by non-curses applications which  may  be
+       screen-oriented (such as <STRONG><A HREF="clear.1.html">clear(1)</A></STRONG>) or non-screen (such as <STRONG><A HREF="tabs.1.html">tabs(1)</A></STRONG>).
+
+       <EM>Terminfo</EM> describes terminals by giving a set of capabilities which they
+       have, by specifying how to perform screen operations, and by specifying

+       Entries in <EM>terminfo</EM> consist of a sequence of fields:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Each  field  ends  with a comma "," (embedded commas may be escaped
+           with a backslash or written as "\054").
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   White space between fields is ignored.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The first field in a <EM>terminfo</EM> entry begins in the first column.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Newlines and leading whitespace (spaces or tabs) may  be  used  for
+           formatting  entries for readability.  These are removed from parsed
+           entries.
+
+           The <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> <STRONG>-f</STRONG> and <STRONG>-W</STRONG> options rely on this to  format  if-then-else
+           expressions,  or to enforce maximum line-width.  The resulting for-
+           matted terminal description can be read by <STRONG>tic</STRONG>.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The first field 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 termi-
+           nal (its primary name), the last name given should be a  long  name
+           fully  identifying  the terminal (see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_termattrs.3x.html">longname(3x)</A></STRONG>), 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.
+
+           This implementation is not so strict; it allows mixed case  in  the
+           primary name and aliases.  If the last name has no embedded blanks,
+           it allows that to be both an alias and a  verbose  name  (but  will
+           warn about this ambiguity).
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Lines  beginning with a "#" in the first column are treated as com-
+           ments.
+
+           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.

+       should not contain hyphens.  Modes that the hardware can be in, or user
+       preferences, should be indicated by appending a hyphen and a mode  suf-
+       fix.  Thus, a vt100 in 132-column mode would be vt100-w.  The following
+       suffixes should be used where possible:

+       The terminfo entry consists of  several  <EM>capabilities</EM>,  i.e.,  features
+       that  the  terminal  has, or methods for exercising the terminal's fea-
+       tures.
+
+       After the first field (giving the name(s) of the terminal entry), there
+       should be one or more <EM>capability</EM> fields.  These are boolean, numeric or
+       string names with corresponding values:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Boolean capabilities are true  when  present,  false  when  absent.
+           There is no explicit value for boolean capabilities.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Numeric  capabilities  have  a  "#"  following  the  name,  then an
+           unsigned decimal integer value.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   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  <EM>canceled</EM>,  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 excep-
+       tions.  In the definition of the variant, the string capability <STRONG>use</STRONG> can
+       be given with the name of the base terminal:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The  capabilities  given before <STRONG>use</STRONG> override those in the base type
+           named by <STRONG>use</STRONG>.
+
+       <STRONG>o</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.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Capabilities 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 ref-
+       erence that imports it, where <EM>xx</EM> is the capability.  For  example,  the
+       entry
+
+              2621-nl, smkx@, rmkx@, use=2621,
+
+       defines a 2621-nl that does not have the <STRONG>smkx</STRONG> or <STRONG>rmkx</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>use</STRONG> can contain canceled capabilities, which have
+       the  same  effect as if those cancels were inline in the using terminal
+       entry.

-       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:
+       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

+       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 specifica-

+
+       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 informal 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:
 
        (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>).

-        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

-       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.

-       is by imitating the description of a similar  terminal  in
-       <EM>terminfo</EM>  and  to  build up a description gradually, using

-
-       To get the padding for insert line right (if the  terminal

-       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
+       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

+       wraps around to the beginning of the next  line  when  it  reaches  the
+       right  margin,  then it should have the <STRONG>am</STRONG> capability.  If the terminal
+       can clear its screen, leaving the cursor in  the  home  position,  then
+       this  is  given  by the <STRONG>clear</STRONG> string capability.  If the terminal over-
+       strikes (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

+       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 drawing 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  col-
+       umn  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" termi-
+       nals.  Thus the model 33 teletype is described as

-       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".
-
-       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.

-       If  your  terminal  has  one  or  more  kinds  of  display

-       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-

-       if either standout or reverse modes are turned on.

+           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

+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Because of this, the terminal initialization programs <STRONG>tput</STRONG> and <STRONG>tset</STRONG>
+           use   the  <STRONG>tbc</STRONG>  (<STRONG>clear_all_tabs</STRONG>)  and  <STRONG>hts</STRONG>  (<STRONG>set_tab</STRONG>)  capabilities
+           directly only when the <STRONG>it</STRONG> (<STRONG>init_tabs</STRONG>) capability is set to a  value

+           uppercase "I" although Unix implementations use the  lowercase  "i"
+           mapping.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The  DEC  VT100  implemented graphics using the alternate character
+           set feature, temporarily switching <EM>modes</EM> and sending characters  in
+           the range 0x60 (96) to 0x7e (126) (the <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> <STRONG>Value</STRONG> column in the ta-
+           ble).
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   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: <EM>board</EM> <EM>of</EM> <EM>squares</EM>
+           replaces the VT100 <EM>newline</EM> symbol, while  <EM>lantern</EM>  <EM>symbol</EM>  replaces
+           the VT100 <EM>vertical</EM> <EM>tab</EM> symbol.  The other VT100 symbols for control
+           characters (<EM>horizontal</EM> <EM>tab</EM>, <EM>carriage</EM> <EM>return</EM> and <EM>line-feed</EM>) 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  <STRONG>smacs</STRONG>/<STRONG>rmacs</STRONG>  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.

-       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 <STRONG>vidputs</STRONG> 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.

-       The  argument  values of <STRONG>setf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setb</STRONG> historically correspond
-       to a different mapping, i.e.,

-
-       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.
-       This  is a bit-mask of attributes not to be used when col-
-       ors are enabled.  The correspondence with  the  attributes
-       understood by <STRONG>curses</STRONG> is as follows:
-
-          <STRONG>Attribute</STRONG>              <STRONG>Bit</STRONG>   <STRONG>Decimal</STRONG>      <STRONG>Set</STRONG> <STRONG>by</STRONG>

-       For  example,  on  many  IBM  PC  consoles,  the underline
-       attribute collides with the foreground color blue  and  is
-       not  available  in  color  mode.  These should have an <STRONG>ncv</STRONG>
-       capability of 2.
-
-       SVr4 curses does nothing with <STRONG>ncv</STRONG>, ncurses  recognizes  it
-       and optimizes the output in favor of colors.
+       The  curses  library  functions <STRONG>init_pair</STRONG> and <STRONG>init_color</STRONG> manipulate the
+       <EM>color</EM>  <EM>pairs</EM>  and  <EM>color</EM>  <EM>values</EM>  discussed  in   this   section   (see
+       <STRONG><A HREF="curs_color.3x.html">curs_color(3x)</A></STRONG> for details on these and related functions).
+
+       Most color terminals are either "Tektronix-like" or "HP-like":
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Tektronix-like terminals have a predefined set of <EM>N</EM> colors (where <EM>N</EM>
+           is usually 8), and can set character-cell foreground and background
+           characters independently, mixing them into <EM>N</EM> * <EM>N</EM> color-pairs.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   On  HP-like  terminals,  the user must set each color pair up sepa-
+           rately (foreground and background are not independently  settable).
+           Up to <EM>M</EM> color-pairs may be set up from 2*<EM>M</EM> 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 cur-
+       rent  background  color  rather  than  the power-up default background;
+       these should have the boolean capability <STRONG>bce</STRONG>.
+
+       While the curses library works with <EM>color</EM> <EM>pairs</EM> (reflecting the inabil-
+       ity  of  some  devices to set foreground and background colors indepen-
+       dently), there are separate capabilities for setting these features:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   To change the current foreground or  background  color  on  a  Tek-
+           tronix-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  back-
+           ground).   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 foreground, they should be coded as <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>setab</STRONG>,  respec-
+           tively.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If  the  terminal supports other escape sequences to set background
+           and foreground, they should be coded  as  <STRONG>setf</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>setb</STRONG>,  respec-
+           tively.   The  <STRONG>vidputs</STRONG>  and the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_refresh.3x.html">refresh(3x)</A></STRONG> functions use the <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>
+           and <STRONG>setab</STRONG> capabilities if they are defined.
+
+       The <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG> and <STRONG>setf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setb</STRONG> capabilities take a single numeric  argu-
+       ment  each.  Argument values 0-7 of <STRONG>setaf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setab</STRONG> are portably defined as

+       It is important to not confuse the two sets of color capabilities; oth-
+       erwise 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.
+
+       Some terminals allow the <EM>color</EM> <EM>values</EM> to be modified:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   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 capa-
+           bility  <STRONG>hls</STRONG>  is  present,  they are instead as HLS (Hue, Lightness,
+           Saturation) indices.  The ranges are terminal-dependent.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   On an HP-like terminal, <STRONG>initp</STRONG> may give a capability for changing  a
+           color-pair value.  It will take seven parameters; a color-pair num-
+           ber (0 to <STRONG>max_pairs</STRONG> - 1), and two triples  describing  first  back-
+           ground  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  reg-
+       ister  these collisions with the <STRONG>ncv</STRONG> capability.  This is a bit-mask of
+       attributes not to be used when colors are enabled.  The  correspondence
+       with the attributes understood by <STRONG>curses</STRONG> is as follows:

-       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

-       character  to  be repeated and the second is 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
-       the TEKTRONIX 4025, this can be indicated with  <STRONG>cmdch</STRONG>.   A

-       bility  to  identify it.  The following convention is sup-
-       ported on some UNIX systems:  The  environment  is  to  be
-       searched  for a <STRONG>CC</STRONG> variable, and if found, all occurrences

-       in the environment variable.

-       If there are two very similar terminals, one (the variant)

-       with certain exceptions.  In the definition of  the  vari-

-       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

 </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,
+       Long  terminfo  entries are unlikely to be a problem; to date, no entry
+       has even approached terminfo's 4096-byte string-table maximum.   Unfor-
+       tunately,  the  termcap translations are much more strictly limited (to
+       1023 bytes), thus termcap translations of  long  terminfo  entries  can
+       cause problems.

+       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 <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 term-
-           cap 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  termi-
-       nal.
-
-       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" 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 ter-
-       minal types and users whose TERM variable does not have  a
-       termcap entry.
-
-       When in -C (translate to termcap) mode, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> imple-
-       mentation of <STRONG><A HREF="tic.1m.html">tic(1m)</A></STRONG> 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.
+       <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

-       Searching for terminal descriptions in <STRONG>$HOME/.terminfo</STRONG> and
-       TERMINFO_DIRS is not supported by older implementations.
-
-       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.

-       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>.

-       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
