-.SH NAME
-terminfo \- terminal capability data base
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\*d/*/*
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Terminfo
-is a data base describing terminals, used by screen-oriented programs such as
-\fBnvi\fR(1),
-\fBrogue\fR(1)
-and libraries such as
-\fBcurses\fR(3X).
-.I Terminfo
-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.
-.PP
-Entries in
-.I terminfo
-consist of a sequence of `,' separated fields (embedded commas may be
-escaped with a backslash or notated as \e072).
-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.
-.PP
-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:
-.PP
-.TS
-center ;
-l c l
-l l l.
-\fBSuffix Meaning Example\fP
--\fInn\fP Number of lines on the screen aaa-60
--\fIn\fPp 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
--w Wide mode (> 80 columns, usually 132) vt100-w
