+       terminfo - terminal capability data base
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
+       /usr/share/terminfo/*/*
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+       <EM>Terminfo</EM>  is  a  data  base  describing terminals, used by
+       screen-oriented programs  such  as  <STRONG><A HREF="nvi.1.html">nvi(1)</A></STRONG>,  <STRONG><A HREF="rogue.1.html">rogue(1)</A></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 5.6 (patch 20081011).
+
+       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
+      -w       Wide mode (&gt; 80 columns, usually 132)    vt100-w
+
+       For more on terminal naming conventions, see  the  <STRONG>term(7)</STRONG>
+       manual page.
+
+   <STRONG>Capabilities</STRONG>
+       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:
+
+       (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>).
+
+       (P*)   indicates that padding may vary  in  proportion  to
+              the number of lines affected
+
+       (#<EM>i</EM>)   indicates the <EM>i</EM>th parameter.
+
+
+       These are the boolean capabilities:

+       Capabilities in <EM>terminfo</EM> are of three types: Boolean capa-
+       bilities which indicate that the terminal has some partic-
+       ular  feature, numeric capabilities giving the size of the
+       terminal or the size  of  particular  delays,  and  string
+       capabilities,  which  give a sequence which can be used to
+       perform particular terminal operations.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Types</STRONG> <STRONG>of</STRONG> <STRONG>Capabilities</STRONG>
+       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>\^</STRONG>
+       for  <STRONG>^</STRONG>, <STRONG>\\</STRONG> for <STRONG>\</STRONG>, <STRONG>\</STRONG>, for comma, <STRONG>\:</STRONG> for <STRONG>:</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 terminals, provid-
+       ing CS7 is specified.  See <STRONG><A HREF="stty.1.html">stty(1)</A></STRONG>.)  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.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Fetching</STRONG> <STRONG>Compiled</STRONG> <STRONG>Descriptions</STRONG>
+       If the environment variable TERMINFO is set, it is  inter-
+       preted  as the pathname of a directory containing the com-
+       piled description you are working on.  Only that directory
+       is searched.
+
+       If  TERMINFO  is  not set, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> version of the ter-
+       minfo reader code  will  instead  look  in  the  directory
+       <STRONG>$HOME/.terminfo</STRONG>  for  a compiled description.  If it fails
+       to find one  there,  and  the  environment  variable  TER-
+       MINFO_DIRS  is set, it will interpret the contents of that
+       variable as a list of colon- separated directories  to  be
+       searched  (an  empty  entry is interpreted as a command to
+       search <EM>/usr/share/terminfo</EM>).  If no description  is  found
+       in  any of the TERMINFO_DIRS directories, the fetch fails.
+
+       If neither TERMINFO nor TERMINFO_DIRS  is  set,  the  last
+       place   tried  will  be  the  system  terminfo  directory,
+       <EM>/usr/share/terminfo</EM>.
+
+       (Neither the  <STRONG>$HOME/.terminfo</STRONG>  lookups  nor  TERMINFO_DIRS
+       extensions   are  supported  under  stock  System  V  ter-
+       minfo/curses.)
+
+
+   <STRONG>Preparing</STRONG> <STRONG>Descriptions</STRONG>
+       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.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Basic</STRONG> <STRONG>Capabilities</STRONG>
+       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
+
+       33|tty33|tty|model 33 teletype,
+            bel=^G, cols#72, cr=^M, cud1=^J, hc, ind=^J, os,
+
+       while the Lear Siegler ADM-3 is described as
+
+       adm3|3|lsi adm3,
+            am, bel=^G, clear=^Z, cols#80, cr=^M, cub1=^H, cud1=^J,
+            ind=^J, lines#24,
+
+
+   <STRONG>Parameterized</STRONG> <STRONG>Strings</STRONG>
+       Cursor addressing and other strings  requiring  parameters
+       in  the  terminal  are described by a parameterized string
+       capability, with <STRONG><A HREF="printf.3.html">printf(3)</A></STRONG> like escapes  <STRONG>%x</STRONG>  in  it.   For
+       example,  to  address  the  cursor,  the <STRONG>cup</STRONG> capability is
+       given, using two parameters: the row and column to address
+       to.  (Rows and columns are numbered from zero and refer to
+       the physical screen visible to the user, not to any unseen
+       memory.)   If  the  terminal  has  memory  relative cursor
+       addressing, that can be indicated by <STRONG>mrcup</STRONG>.
+
+       The parameter mechanism uses a stack and special  <STRONG>%</STRONG>  codes
+       to  manipulate  it.  Typically a sequence will push one of
+       the parameters onto the stack and then print  it  in  some
+       format.   Print  (e.g.,  "%d")  is  a special case.  Other
+       operations, including "%t"  pop  their  operand  from  the
+       stack.  It is noted that more complex operations are often
+       necessary, e.g., in the <STRONG>sgr</STRONG> string.
+
+       The <STRONG>%</STRONG> encodings have the following meanings:
+
+
+       %%   outputs `%'
+
+       %<EM>[[</EM>:<EM>]flags][width[.precision]][</EM>doxXs<EM>]</EM>
+            as in <STRONG>printf</STRONG>, flags are [-+#] and space.  Use  a  `:'
+            to  allow the next character to be a `-' flag, avoid-
+            ing interpreting "%-" as an operator.
+
+       %c   print pop() like %c in <STRONG>printf</STRONG>
+
+       %s   print pop() like %s in <STRONG>printf</STRONG>
+
+       %p[1-9]
+            push <EM>i</EM>'th parameter
+
+       %P[a-z]
+            set dynamic variable [a-z] to pop()
+
+       %g[a-z]
+            get dynamic variable [a-z] and push it
+
+       %P[A-Z]
+            set static variable [a-z] to pop()
+
+       %g[A-Z]
+            get static variable [a-z] and push it
+
+            The terms  "static"  and  "dynamic"  are  misleading.
+            Historically,  these are simply two different sets of
+            variables, whose values are not reset  between  calls
+            to  <STRONG>tparm</STRONG>.   However,  that fact is not documented in
+            other implementations.  Relying on it will  adversely
+            impact portability to other implementations.

+
+       %l   push strlen(pop)

+            arithmetic (%m is mod): push(pop() op pop())
+

+            logical operations: push(pop() op pop())

+            logical AND and OR operations (for conditionals)
+
+       %! %~
+            unary  operations  (logical  and   bit   complement):
+            push(op pop())
+
+       %i   add 1 to first two parameters (for ANSI terminals)
+
+       %? <EM>expr</EM> %t <EM>thenpart</EM> %e <EM>elsepart</EM> %;
+            This  forms  an  if-then-else.   The  %e  <EM>elsepart</EM> is
+            optional.  Usually the %? <EM>expr</EM> part  pushes  a  value
+            onto  the stack, and %t pops it from the stack, test-
+            ing if it is nonzero (true).  If it is zero  (false),
+            control passes to the %e (else) part.
+
+            It is possible to form else-if's a la Algol 68:
+            %? c1 %t b1 %e c2 %t b2 %e c3 %t b3 %e c4 %t b4 %e %;
+
+            where ci are conditions, bi are bodies.
+
+            Use the <STRONG>-f</STRONG> option of <STRONG>tic</STRONG> or <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> to see the struc-
+            ture  of  if-the-else's.  Some strings, e.g., <STRONG>sgr</STRONG> can
+            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
+       "%gx%{5}%-".  %P and %g 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  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.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Cursor</STRONG> <STRONG>Motions</STRONG>
+       If the terminal has a fast way to home the cursor (to very
+       upper  left  corner  of  screen) then this can be given as
+       <STRONG>home</STRONG>; similarly a fast way of getting to the  lower  left-
+       hand  corner can be given as <STRONG>ll</STRONG>; this may involve going up
+       with <STRONG>cuu1</STRONG> from the home position,  but  a  program  should
+       never  do this itself (unless <STRONG>ll</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>home</STRONG>.)
+
+       If the terminal has row or column absolute cursor address-
+       ing,  these  can be given as single parameter capabilities
+       <STRONG>hpa</STRONG> (horizontal position absolute) and <STRONG>vpa</STRONG> (vertical posi-
+       tion absolute).  Sometimes these are shorter than the more
+       general two parameter sequence (as with  the  hp2645)  and
+       can   be   used  in  preference  to  <STRONG>cup</STRONG>.   If  there  are
+       parameterized 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 parameter  indicating  how  many  spaces  to  move.
+       These  are  primarily useful if the terminal does not have
+       <STRONG>cup</STRONG>, 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 <STRONG>smcup</STRONG> and <STRONG>rmcup</STRONG>.   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 <STRONG>smcup</STRONG> sets
+       the  command character to be the one used by terminfo.  If
+       the <STRONG>smcup</STRONG> sequence will not restore the  screen  after  an
+       <STRONG>rmcup</STRONG> sequence is output (to the state prior to outputting
+       <STRONG>rmcup</STRONG>), specify <STRONG>nrrmc</STRONG>.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Area</STRONG> <STRONG>Clears</STRONG>
+       If the terminal can clear from the current position to the
+       end  of  the  line,  leaving  the cursor where it is, this
+       should be given as <STRONG>el</STRONG>.  If the terminal can clear from the
+       beginning  of  the line to the current position inclusive,
+       leaving the cursor where it is, this should  be  given  as
+       <STRONG>el1</STRONG>.   If the terminal can clear from the current position
+       to the end of the display, then this should  be  given  as
+       <STRONG>ed</STRONG>.   <STRONG>Ed</STRONG>  is only defined from the first column of a line.
+       (Thus, it can be simulated by a request to delete a  large
+       number of lines, if a true <STRONG>ed</STRONG> is not available.)
+
+
+   <STRONG>Insert/delete</STRONG> <STRONG>line</STRONG> <STRONG>and</STRONG> <STRONG>vertical</STRONG> <STRONG>motions</STRONG>
+       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
+       lines  up  from  below  or that scrolling back with <STRONG>ri</STRONG> may
+       bring down non-blank lines.
+
+
+   <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-
+       gle 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
+       character 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
+       padding 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.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Highlighting,</STRONG> <STRONG>Underlining,</STRONG> <STRONG>and</STRONG> <STRONG>Visible</STRONG> <STRONG>Bells</STRONG>
+       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
+       spaces  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.
+
+       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>
+
+           none              none         \E[0m
+           p1                standout     \E[0;1;7m
+           p2                underline    \E[0;4m
+           p3                reverse      \E[0;7m
+           p4                blink        \E[0;5m
+           p5                dim          not available
+           p6                bold         \E[0;1m
+           p7                invis        \E[0;8m
+           p8                protect      not used
+           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.
+
+       Writing out the above sequences, along with  their  depen-
+       dencies yields
+
+
+         <STRONG>sequence</STRONG>    <STRONG>when</STRONG> <STRONG>to</STRONG> <STRONG>output</STRONG>     <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> <STRONG>translation</STRONG>
+
+         \E[0       always              \E[0
+         ;1         if p1 or p6         %?%p1%p6%|%t;1%;
+         ;4         if p2               %?%p2%|%t;4%;
+         ;5         if p4               %?%p4%|%t;5%;
+
+         ;7         if p1 or p3         %?%p1%p3%|%t;7%;
+         ;8         if p7               %?%p7%|%t;8%;
+         m          always              m
+         ^N or ^O   if p9 ^N, else ^O   %?%p9%t^N%e^O%;
+
+       Putting this all together into the sgr sequence gives:
+
+           sgr=\E[0%?%p1%p6%|%t;1%;%?%p2%t;4%;%?%p1%p3%|%t;7%;
+               %?%p4%t;5%;%?%p7%t;8%;m%?%p9%t\016%e\017%;,
+
+       Remember  that  if  you specify sgr, you must also specify
+       sgr0.  Also, some implementations rely on sgr being  given
+       if  sgr0  is, Not all terminfo entries necessarily have an
+       sgr string, however.  Many terminfo  entries  are  derived
+       from  termcap  entries which have no sgr string.  The only
+       drawback to adding an sgr  string  is  that  termcap  also
+       assumes  that  sgr0  does not exit alternate character set
+       mode.
+
+       Terminals with the ``magic cookie'' glitch  (<STRONG>xmc</STRONG>)  deposit
+       special   ``cookies''   when   they  receive  mode-setting
+       sequences, which affect the display algorithm rather  than
+       having  extra  bits  for  each character.  Some terminals,
+       such as the HP 2621,  automatically  leave  standout  mode
+       when  they  move to a new line or the cursor is addressed.
+       Programs using standout mode  should  exit  standout  mode
+       before  moving the cursor or sending a newline, unless the
+       <STRONG>msgr</STRONG> capability, asserting that it  is  safe  to  move  in
+       standout mode, is present.
+
+       If  the terminal has a way of flashing the screen to indi-
+       cate an error quietly (a bell replacement) then  this  can
+       be given as <STRONG>flash</STRONG>; it must not move the cursor.
+
+       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
+       that as <STRONG>civis</STRONG>.  The capability <STRONG>cnorm</STRONG> should be given which
+       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
+       giving <STRONG>eo</STRONG>.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Keypad</STRONG> <STRONG>and</STRONG> <STRONG>Function</STRONG> <STRONG>Keys</STRONG>
+       If the terminal has a keypad that transmits codes when the
+       keys are pressed, this information  can  be  given.   Note
+       that it is not possible to handle terminals where the key-
+       pad only works in local (this applies, for example, to the
+       unshifted  HP  2621  keys).   If  the keypad can be set to
+       transmit or not transmit, give these  codes  as  <STRONG>smkx</STRONG>  and
+       <STRONG>rmkx</STRONG>.  Otherwise the keypad is assumed to always transmit.
+       The codes sent by the left arrow, right arrow,  up  arrow,
+       down  arrow,  and  home keys can be given as <STRONG>kcub1,</STRONG> <STRONG>kcuf1,</STRONG>
+       <STRONG>kcuu1,</STRONG> <STRONG>kcud1,</STRONG> and <STRONG>khome</STRONG> respectively.  If there are  func-
+       tion  keys  such  as f0, f1, ..., f10, the codes they send
+       can be given as <STRONG>kf0,</STRONG> <STRONG>kf1,</STRONG> <STRONG>...,</STRONG> <STRONG>kf10</STRONG>.  If these  keys  have
+       labels  other  than the default f0 through f10, the labels
+       can  be  given  as  <STRONG>lf0,</STRONG>  <STRONG>lf1,</STRONG>  <STRONG>...,</STRONG>  <STRONG>lf10</STRONG>.    The   codes
+       transmitted  by  certain  other special keys can be given:
+       <STRONG>kll</STRONG> (home down), <STRONG>kbs</STRONG> (backspace), <STRONG>ktbc</STRONG> (clear  all  tabs),
+       <STRONG>kctab</STRONG>  (clear  the  tab  stop in this column), <STRONG>kclr</STRONG> (clear
+       screen or  erase  key),  <STRONG>kdch1</STRONG>  (delete  character),  <STRONG>kdl1</STRONG>
+       (delete line), <STRONG>krmir</STRONG> (exit insert mode), <STRONG>kel</STRONG> (clear to end
+       of line), <STRONG>ked</STRONG> (clear to  end  of  screen),  <STRONG>kich1</STRONG>  (insert
+       character  or  enter insert mode), <STRONG>kil1</STRONG> (insert line), <STRONG>knp</STRONG>
+       (next  page),  <STRONG>kpp</STRONG>  (previous  page),  <STRONG>kind</STRONG>  (scroll  for-
+       ward/down), <STRONG>kri</STRONG> (scroll backward/up), <STRONG>khts</STRONG> (set a tab stop
+       in this column).  In addition, if the keypad has a 3 by  3
+       array  of  keys  including  the four arrow keys, the other
+       five keys can be given as <STRONG>ka1</STRONG>, <STRONG>ka3</STRONG>,  <STRONG>kb2</STRONG>,  <STRONG>kc1</STRONG>,  and  <STRONG>kc3</STRONG>.
+       These  keys are useful when the effects of a 3 by 3 direc-
+       tional pad are needed.
+
+       Strings to program function keys can be  given  as  <STRONG>pfkey</STRONG>,
+       <STRONG>pfloc</STRONG>,  and <STRONG>pfx</STRONG>.  A string to program screen labels should
+       be specified as <STRONG>pln</STRONG>.  Each  of  these  strings  takes  two
+       parameters:  the function key number to program (from 0 to
+       10) and the string to program it with.  Function key  num-
+       bers  out  of  this  range may program undefined keys in a
+       terminal dependent manner.   The  difference  between  the
+       capabilities  is  that <STRONG>pfkey</STRONG> causes pressing the given key
+       to be the same as the user typing the given string;  <STRONG>pfloc</STRONG>
+       causes the string to be executed by the terminal in local;
+       and <STRONG>pfx</STRONG> causes the string to be transmitted  to  the  com-
+       puter.
+
+       The capabilities <STRONG>nlab</STRONG>, <STRONG>lw</STRONG> and <STRONG>lh</STRONG> define the number of pro-
+       grammable screen labels and their width  and  height.   If
+       there  are  commands  to  turn the labels on and off, give
+       them in <STRONG>smln</STRONG> and <STRONG>rmln</STRONG>.  <STRONG>smln</STRONG> is normally output after  one
+       or more pln sequences to make sure that the change becomes
+       visible.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Tabs</STRONG> <STRONG>and</STRONG> <STRONG>Initialization</STRONG>
+       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
+       preceding 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-
+       volatile  memory, the terminfo description can assume that
+       they are properly set.
+
+       Other capabilities include <STRONG>is1</STRONG>, <STRONG>is2</STRONG>, and <STRONG>is3</STRONG>,  initializa-
+       tion  strings  for the terminal, <STRONG>iprog</STRONG>, the path name of a
+       program to be run to initialize the terminal, and <STRONG>if</STRONG>,  the
+       name  of  a  file  containing long initialization strings.
+       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
+       of  the  <EM>tput</EM>  program,  each time the user logs in.  They
+       will be printed in the following order:
+
+              run the program
+                     <STRONG>iprog</STRONG>
+
+              output <STRONG>is1</STRONG> <STRONG>is2</STRONG>
+
+              set the margins using
+                     <STRONG>mgc</STRONG>, <STRONG>smgl</STRONG> and <STRONG>smgr</STRONG>
+
+              set tabs using
+                     <STRONG>tbc</STRONG> and <STRONG>hts</STRONG>
+
+              print the file
+                     <STRONG>if</STRONG>
+
+              and finally
+                     output <STRONG>is3</STRONG>.
+
+       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>.
+
+   <STRONG>Delays</STRONG> <STRONG>and</STRONG> <STRONG>Padding</STRONG>
+       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.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Status</STRONG> <STRONG>Lines</STRONG>
+       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.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Line</STRONG> <STRONG>Graphics</STRONG>
+       Many terminals have alternate character  sets  useful  for
+       forms-drawing.   Terminfo  and <STRONG>curses</STRONG> build in support for
+       the drawing characters supported by the VT100,  with  some
+       characters  from  the  AT&amp;T  4410v1 added.  This alternate
+       character set may be specified by the <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> capability.

+       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 correspond-
+       ing graphic.  Then read off the VT100/your terminal  char-
+       acter  pairs  right  to left in sequence; these become the
+       ACSC string.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Color</STRONG> <STRONG>Handling</STRONG>
+       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.
+
+
+             <STRONG>Color</STRONG>       <STRONG>#define</STRONG>       <STRONG>Value</STRONG>       <STRONG>RGB</STRONG>

+
+       The argument values of <STRONG>setf</STRONG>/<STRONG>setb</STRONG>  historically  correspond
+       to a different mapping, i.e.,
+
+             <STRONG>Color</STRONG>       <STRONG>#define</STRONG>       <STRONG>Value</STRONG>       <STRONG>RGB</STRONG>

+             white     <STRONG>COLOR_WHITE</STRONG>       7     max,max,max
+       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>
+                      A_STANDOUT     0     1
+                      A_UNDERLINE    1     2
+                      A_REVERSE      2     4
+                      A_BLINK        3     8
+                      A_DIM          4     16
+                      A_BOLD         5     32
+                      A_INVIS        6     64
+                      A_PROTECT      7     128
+                      A_ALTCHARSET   8     256
+
+       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.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Miscellaneous</STRONG>
+       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
+       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
+       prototype command character is chosen which is used in all
+       capabilities.   This character is given in the <STRONG>cmdch</STRONG> capa-
+       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
+       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 <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-
+       tents  of  the screen, <STRONG>mc4</STRONG>: turn off the printer, and <STRONG>mc5</STRONG>:
+       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.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Glitches</STRONG> <STRONG>and</STRONG> <STRONG>Braindamage</STRONG>
+       Hazeltine terminals, which do not allow `~' characters  to
+       be displayed should indicate <STRONG>hz</STRONG>.
+
+       Terminals which ignore a line-feed immediately after an <STRONG>am</STRONG>
+       wrap, such as the Concept and vt100, should indicate <STRONG>xenl</STRONG>.
+
+       If  <STRONG>el</STRONG>  is  required  to  get  rid of standout (instead of
+       merely writing normal text on top of it),  <STRONG>xhp</STRONG>  should  be
+       given.
+
+       Teleray  terminals,  where  tabs turn all characters moved
+       over to blanks, should  indicate  <STRONG>xt</STRONG>  (destructive  tabs).
+       Note:    the    variable    indicating    this    is   now
+       `dest_tabs_magic_smso'; in older  versions,  it  was  tel-
+       eray_glitch.  This glitch is also taken to mean that it is
+       not possible to position the cursor on top  of  a  ``magic
+       cookie'', that to erase standout mode it is instead neces-
+       sary to use delete and insert line.  The ncurses implemen-
+       tation ignores this glitch.
+
+       The  Beehive Superbee, which is unable to correctly trans-
+       mit the escape or control C characters, has <STRONG>xsb</STRONG>,  indicat-
+       ing  that the f1 key is used for escape and f2 for control
+       C.  (Only certain Superbees have this  problem,  depending
+       on  the  ROM.)  Note that in older terminfo versions, this
+       capability  was  called  `beehive_glitch';   it   is   now
+       `no_esc_ctl_c'.
+
+       Other  specific  terminal  problems  may  be  corrected by
+       adding more capabilities of the form <STRONG>x</STRONG><EM>x</EM>.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Similar</STRONG> <STRONG>Terminals</STRONG>
+       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
+
+                   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.
+
+
+   <STRONG>Pitfalls</STRONG> <STRONG>of</STRONG> <STRONG>Long</STRONG> <STRONG>Entries</STRONG>
+       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:
+
+       *    a termcap entry before expansion is  more  than  1023
+            bytes long,
+
+       *    and the application has only allocated a 1k buffer,
+
+       *    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,
+
+       *    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 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>Binary</STRONG> <STRONG>Compatibility</STRONG>
+       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.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>EXTENSIONS</H2><PRE>
+       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.
+
+       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.
