    25 # This file describes capabilities of various terminals, as needed by
       
    26 # software such as screen editors.  It does not attempt to describe
       
    27 # printing terminals very well, nor graphics terminals.  Someday.
       
    28 # See terminfo(5) in the Unix Programmers Manual for documentation.
       
    29 #
       
    30 # Conventions: First entry is two chars, first char is manufacturer,
       
    31 # second char is canonical name for model or mode.
       
    32 # Third entry is the one the editor will print with "set" command.
       
    33 # Last entry is verbose description.
       
    34 # Others are mnemonic synonyms for the terminal.
       
    35 #
       
    36 # Terminal naming conventions:
       
    37 # Terminal names look like <manufacturer> <model> - <modes/options>
       
    38 # Certain abbreviations (e.g. c100 for concept100) are also allowed
       
    39 # for upward compatibility.  The part to the left of the dash, if a
       
    40 # dash is present, describes the particular hardware of the terminal.
       
    41 # The part to the right can be used for flags indicating special ROM's,
       
    42 # extra memory, particular terminal modes, or user preferences.
       
    43 # All names are always in lower case, for consistency in typing.
       
    44 # Because of file naming restrictions, terminal names should not contain
       
    45 # period or slash, in fact, entirely alphanumeric characters plus dash are
       
    46 # highly recommended.  These restrictions do not apply to the verbose name.
       
    47 #
       
    48 # The following are conventionally used flags:
       
    49 #	rv	Terminal in reverse video mode (black on white)
       
    50 #	2p	Has two pages of memory.  Likewise 4p, 8p, etc.
       
    51 #	w	Wide - in 132 column mode.
       
    52 #	pp	Has a printer port which is used.
       
    53 #	na	No arrow keys - terminfo ignores arrow keys which are
       
    54 #		actually there on the terminal, so the user can use
       
    55 #		the arrow keys locally.
       
    56 #	#	The number of lines on the screen.
       
    57 #	s	With a status line.
       
    58 #  
       
    59 # There are some cases where the same name is used for two different
       
    60 # terminals, e.g. "teleray" or "2621" or "vt100".  In these cases,
       
    61 # if a site has one of these, they should choose a local default and
       
    62 # bring that terminal to the front in the reorder script.  This works
       
    63 # because setupterm() picks the first match in /usr/share/lib/terminfo/*/*.
       
    64 #
       
    65 # If you absolutely MUST check for a specific terminal (this is discouraged)
       
    66 # check for the 1st entry (the canonical form) since all other codes are
       
    67 # subject to change.  We would much rather put in special capabilities to
       
    68 # describe your terminal rather than having you key on the name.
