Null termname given.

The terminal type was null. This occurs when $TERM is null or not set.

cannot open "file" for reading.

The speciﬁed ﬁle could not be opened.

Warning: cannot translate capability (unsupported in terminfo).

This termcap capability is no longer supported in terminfo, and therefore cannot be translated.

WARNINGS

Certain termcap defaults are assumed to be true. For example, the bell character (terminfo bel)is

assumed to be ˆG. The linefeed capability (termcap nl) is assumed to be the same for both

cursor_down and scroll_forward (terminfo cud1 and ind, respectively). Padding information is

assumed to belong at the end of the string.

The algorithm used to expand parameterized information for termcap ﬁelds such as

cursor_position (termcap cm, terminfo cup) sometimes produces a string which, though techni-

cally correct, may not be optimal. In particular, the rarely used termcap operation %n produces strings

that are especially long. Most occurrences of these less than optimal strings are ﬂagged with a warning

message, and may need to be recoded by hand.

HP supports only terminals listed on the current list of supported devices. However, the terminfo database

contains both supported and nonsupported terminals. If you use nonsupported terminals, they may not

work correctly.
