• A subroutine library that allows programs to query that database and
make use of the capability values it contains
This section describes database capabilities. Section 7.7 discusses using the
curses and termcap libraries.
The termcap capabilities in DIGITAL UNIX are comparable to those in
BSD 4.3-5. The terminfo capabilities are comparable to those in System V
Release 3.0 (SVID 2). DIGITAL UNIX termcap and terminfo databases
support the following terminals:
VT52 VT220 VT330
VT100 VT240 VT340
VT102 VT241 VT400
VT125 VT300 VT420
VT200 VT320 Xterm
In addition, these databases support a number of common generic devices,
including:
ansi lpr plugboard
arpanet network pmconsole*
bussiplexer minansi* printer
dialup mransi* switch
dumb patchboard unknown
ethernet
All entries contain only 7-bit control codes. Names marked with an asterisk
(*) are in the terminfo database only.
The termcap file is located in the /usr/share/lib directory; the
/etc/termcap file is a link included for ULTRIX compatibility. The
terminfo database is located in the /usr/share/lib/terminfo
directory instead of in /usr/lib/terminfo as on ULTRIX systems.
The terminfo database sources are also located in
/usr/share/lib/terminfo instead of in /usr/src/usr.lib/terminfo.
4.8 Disk and File System Maintenance Features
Basic maintenance of disks is similar on a DIGITAL UNIX system and an
ULTRIX system. Both systems support the UNIX File System (UFS) and
