1.1       root        1: # ------------------------
                      2: #      @(#)header      1.3
                      3: #      Terminfo source file @(#)header 1.1 (CBOSGD) 12/28/82
                      4: #      U.C. Berkeley, Bell Telephone Laboratories
                      5: #
                      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(4) in the Unix Programmers Manual for documentation.
                     10: # Terminfo was developed from termcap. Termcap is based on software
                     11: # developed at U.C. Berkeley.
                     12: #
                     13: # Conventions: First entry is two chars, first char is manufacturer,
                     14: # second char is canonical name for model or mode.
                     15: # Third entry is the one the editor will print with "set" command.
                     16: # Last entry is verbose description.
                     17: # Others are mnemonic synonyms for the terminal.
                     18: #
                     19: # Terminal naming conventions:
                     20: # Terminal names look like <manufacturer> <model> - <modes/options>
                     21: # Certain abbreviations (e.g. c100 for concept100) are also allowed
                     22: # for upward compatibility.  The part to the left of the dash, if a
                     23: # dash is present, describes the particular hardware of the terminal.
                     24: # The part to the right can be used for flags indicating special ROM's,
                     25: # extra memory, particular terminal modes, or user preferences.
                     26: # All names are always in lower case, for consistency in typing.
                     27: # Because of file naming restrictions, terminal names should not contain
                     28: # period or slash, in fact, entirely alphanumeric characters plus dash are
                     29: # highly recommended.  These restrictions do not apply to the verbose name.
                     30: #
                     31: # The following are conventionally used flags:
                     32: #      rv      Terminal in reverse video mode (black on white)
                     33: #      2p      Has two pages of memory.  Likewise 4p, 8p, etc.
                     34: #      w       Wide - in 132 column mode.
                     35: #      pp      Has a printer port which is used.
                     36: #      na      No arrow keys - terminfo ignores arrow keys which are
                     37: #              actually there on the terminal, so the user can use
                     38: #              the arrow keys locally.
                     39: #      #       The number of lines on the screen.
                     40: #      s       With a status line.
                     41: #  
                     42: # There are some cases where the same name is used for two different
                     43: # terminals, e.g. "teleray" or "2621" or "vt100".  In these cases,
                     44: # if a site has one of these, they should choose a local default and
                     45: # bring that terminal to the front in the reorder script.  This works
                     46: # because tgetent picks the first match in /usr/lib/terminfo.
                     47: #
                     48: # If you absolutely MUST check for a specific terminal (this is discouraged)
                     49: # check for the 1st entry (the canonical form) since all other codes are
                     50: # subject to change.  We would much rather put in special capabilities to
                     51: # describe your terminal rather than having you key on the name.
