                      6: # This file describes capabilities of various terminals, as needed by
                      7: # software such as screen editors.  It does not attempt to describe
                      8: # printing terminals very well, nor graphics terminals.  Someday.
                      9: # See terminfo(5) in the Unix Programmers Manual for documentation.
                     10: #
                     11: # Conventions: First entry is two chars, first char is manufacturer,
                     12: # second char is canonical name for model or mode.
                     13: # Third entry is the one the editor will print with "set" command.
                     14: # Last entry is verbose description.
                     15: # Others are mnemonic synonyms for the terminal.
                     16: #
                     17: # Terminal naming conventions:
                     18: # Terminal names look like <manufacturer> <model> - <modes/options>
                     19: # Certain abbreviations (e.g. c100 for concept100) are also allowed
                     20: # for upward compatibility.  The part to the left of the dash, if a
                     21: # dash is present, describes the particular hardware of the terminal.
                     22: # The part to the right can be used for flags indicating special ROM's,
                     23: # extra memory, particular terminal modes, or user preferences.
                     24: # All names are always in lower case, for consistency in typing.
                     25: # Because of file naming restrictions, terminal names should not contain
                     26: # period or slash, in fact, entirely alphanumeric characters plus dash are
                     27: # highly recommended.  These restrictions do not apply to the verbose name.
                     28: #
                     29: # The following are conventionally used flags:
                     30: #      rv      Terminal in reverse video mode (black on white)
                     31: #      2p      Has two pages of memory.  Likewise 4p, 8p, etc.
                     32: #      w       Wide - in 132 column mode.
                     33: #      pp      Has a printer port which is used.
                     34: #      na      No arrow keys - terminfo ignores arrow keys which are
                     35: #              actually there on the terminal, so the user can use
                     36: #              the arrow keys locally.
                     37: #  
                     38: # There are some cases where the same name is used for two different
                     39: # terminals, e.g. "teleray" or "2621" or "vt100".  In these cases,
                     40: # if a site has one of these, they should choose a local default and
                     41: # bring that terminal to the front in the reorder script.  This works
                     42: # because tgetent picks the first match in /etc/terminfo.
                     43: # The list of names intentionally duplicated is:
                     44: # 2621, c108, dtc, hp2621, teleray, tvi, vt100.
                     45: #
                     46: # If you absolutely MUST check for a specific terminal (this is discouraged)
                     47: # check for the 2nd entry (the canonical form) since all other codes are
                     48: # subject to change.  The two letter codes are there for version 6 and are
                     49: # EXTREMELY subject to change, or even to go away if version 6 becomes for
                     50: # all practical purposes obsolete.  We would much rather put in special
                     51: # capabilities to describe your terminal rather than having you key on the
                     52: # name.
                     53: #
                     54: #  Special manufacturer codes:
                     55: #      A: hardcopy daisy wheel terminals
                     56: #      M: Misc. (with only a few terminals)
                     57: #      q: Homemade
                     58: #      s: special (dialup, etc.)
                     59: #  
                     60: # Comments in this file begin with # - they cannot appear in the middle
                     61: # of a terminfo entry.  Individual entries are commented out by
                     62: # placing a period between the colon and the capability name.
                     63: #
                     64: #  This file is to be installed with an editor script (reorder)
                     65: #  that moves the most common terminals to the front of the file.
                     66: #  If the source is not available, it can be constructed by sorting
                     67: #  the above entries by the 2 char initial code.
