information to determine how properly to operate the current terminal. In addition, implementations
return any of the current terminal’s capabilities when the application calls the query functions listed in
tgetent() (in the cases where the following tables list a Termcap code) and tigetflag() (see
tgetent(3X) and tigetflag(3X)).
The tables of capabilities have 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 updat-
ing 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.
Description A short summary of the capability.
