+
+   <STRONG>User-Defined</STRONG> <STRONG>Capabilities</STRONG>
+       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.

+       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

-       has the <STRONG>xon</STRONG> capability; it is used  for  cost  computation
-       but  does not trigger delays.  A `/' suffix indicates that

-       If the environment variable TERMINFO is set, it is  inter-

-       piled description you are working on.  Only that directory

-
-       If  TERMINFO  is  not set, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> version of the ter-
-       minfo reader code  will  instead  look  in  the  directory
-       <STRONG>$HOME/.terminfo</STRONG>  for  a compiled description.  If it fails
-       to find one  there,  and  the  environment  variable  TER-
-       MINFO_DIRS  is set, it will interpret the contents of that
-       variable as a list of colon- separated directories  to  be
-       searched  (an  empty  entry is interpreted as a command to
-       search <EM>/usr/share/terminfo</EM>).  If no description  is  found
-       in  any of the TERMINFO_DIRS directories, the fetch fails.
-
-       If neither TERMINFO nor TERMINFO_DIRS  is  set,  the  last

+       several places.  It uses only the first description found.

+       which can be overridden by environment variables.   Before

+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If  TERMINFO  is not set, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> will instead look in
+           the directory <STRONG>$HOME/.terminfo</STRONG> for a compiled  descrip-
+           tion.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Next,  if  the  environment  variable TERMINFO_DIRS is
+           set, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> will interpret the contents of that vari-
+           able  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 adacent colons) is
+           interpreted as  the  system  location  <EM>/usr/share/ter-</EM>
+           <EM>minfo</EM>.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Finally, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> searches these compiled-in locations:
+
+           <STRONG>o</STRONG>   a           list           of          directories
+               (/usr/local/ncurses/share/terminfo:/usr/share/ter-
+               minfo), and

    <STRONG>Insert/Delete</STRONG> <STRONG>Character</STRONG>
-       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  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 ter-
-       minal  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  ter-
-       minals whose insert mode cannot be described with the sin-

+
+       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

+       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-

+       mode will not give <STRONG>ich1</STRONG>; terminals which send  a  sequence
        to open a screen position should give it here.

        capability, with one parameter, <EM>n</EM>, will repeat the effects
        of <STRONG>ich1</STRONG> <EM>n</EM> times.

        The "after tc expansion" length will have a similar effect

        In summary, a termcap entry that is longer than 1023 bytes
