#include <term.h>/usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/*
The terminfo database is a collection of files, produced by tic(1M), that describe the capabilities of a variety of devices, such as terminals and printers.
The terminfo database is often used by screen-oriented applications such as vi and curses programs, as well as by some utilities such as ls and more. Using the terminfo database, applications can work with a variety of devices without changes to the application.
This manual page specifies the format of terminfo source files. The tic(1M) command accepts source files in the format specified here, compiles them into device description files, and places them in the terminfo database. A valid terminfo entry describing a given model of terminal can be added to terminfo to permit use of the same terminal model by applications.
``Source File Syntax'' describes the syntax of terminfo source files. A grammar and lexical conventions appear in ``Formal Grammar''. A list of all terminal capabilities defined by X/Open appears in ``Defined Capabilities''. An example follows in ``Sample Entry''.
terminfo source files consist of one or more device descriptions. Each description defines a mnemonic name for the terminal model. Each description consists of a header (beginning in column 1) and one or more lines that list the features for that particular device. Every line in a terminfo source file must end in a comma. Every line in a terminfo source file except the header must be indented with one or more white spaces (either spaces or tabs).
Entries in terminfo source files consist of a number of comma-separated fields. White space after each comma is ignored. Embedded commas must be escaped by using a backslash. The following example shows the format of a terminfo source file:
delim $$ delim offThe first line, commonly referred to as the header line, must begin in column one and must contain at least two aliases separated by vertical bars. The last field in the header line must be the long name of the device and it may contain any string.
Alias names must be unique in the terminfo database and they must conform to file naming conventions established by implementation-specific terminfo compilation utilities. Implementations will recognise alias names consisting only of characters from the portable filename character set except that implementations need not accept a first character of minus (``-''). For example, a typical restriction is that they cannot contain white space or slashes. There may be further constraints imposed on source file values by the implementation-specific terminfo compilation utilities.
Each capability in terminfo is of one of the following types:
Capability names adhere to an informal length limit of five characters. Whenever possible, capability names are chosen to be the same as or similar to those specified by the ANSI X3.64-1979 standard. Semantics are also intended to match those of the ANSI standard.
All string capabilities may have padding specified, with the exception of those used for input. Input capabilities, listed under the Strings section in the following tables, have names beginning with key_. These capabilities are defined in term.h.
Source File Characteristic | Minimum Value |
---|---|
Length of a line | 1023 bytes |
Length of a terminal alias | 14 bytes |
Length of a terminal model name | 128 bytes |
Width of a single field | 128 bytes |
Length of a string value | 1000 bytes |
Length of a string representing a numeric value | 99 digits |
Magnitude of a numeric value | 0 to 32767 (inclusive) |
An implementation may support higher limits than those specified above.

The ``@'' character following a Capname is used to explicitly declare that a boolean capability is false.
cols#80Values for numeric capabilities may be specified in decimal, octal or hexadecimal, using normal C-language conventions.
A delay in milliseconds may appear anywhere in such a capability, preceded by $ and enclosed in angle brackets, as in el=\EK$<3>. The Curses implementation achieves delays by outputting to the terminal an appropriate number of system-defined padding characters. The tputs(3curses) function provides delays when used to send such a capability to the terminal.
The delay can be any of the following: a number, a number followed by an asterisk, such as 5*, a number followed by a slash, such as 5/, or a number followed by both, such as 5*/.
The following notation is valid in terminfo source files for specifying special characters:
Notation | Represents Character |
---|---|
^x | Control-x (for any appropriate x) |
\a | Alert |
\b | Backspace |
\E or \e | An ESCAPE character |
\f | Form feed |
\l | Linefeed |
\n | Newline |
\r | Carriage return |
\s | Space |
\t | Tab |
\^ | Caret (^) |
\\ | Backslash (\) |
\, | Comma (,) |
\: | Colon (:) |
\0 | Null |
\nnn | Any character, specified as three octal digits |
(Also see termio(7).)
