tgetent() (in the cases where the following table lists a Termcap code) and tigetflag() (see
tgetent (3X) and tigetflag(3X)).
The table of capabilities has the following columns:
Variable Names for use by the Curses functions that operate on the terminfo database. These
names are reserved and the application must not define them.
Capname The short name for a capability specified in the terminfo source file. It is used for
updating the source file and by the tput command (see tput (1)).
Termcap Codes provided for compatibility with older applications. These codes are TO BE WITH-
DRAWN. Because of this, not all Capnames have Termcap codes.
