29#	Terminfo source file
30#	Mark Horton, U.C. Berkeley, Bell Telephone Laboratories
31#
32# This file describes capabilities of various terminals, as needed by
33# software such as screen editors.  It does not attempt to describe
34# printing terminals very well, nor graphics terminals.  Someday.
35# See terminfo(5) in the Unix Programmers Manual for documentation.
36#
37# Conventions: First entry is two chars, first char is manufacturer,
38# second char is canonical name for model or mode.
39# Third entry is the one the editor will print with "set" command.
40# Last entry is verbose description.
41# Others are mnemonic synonyms for the terminal.
42#
43# Terminal naming conventions:
44# Terminal names look like <manufacturer> <model> - <modes/options>
45# Certain abbreviations (e.g. c100 for concept100) are also allowed
46# for upward compatibility.  The part to the left of the dash, if a
47# dash is present, describes the particular hardware of the terminal.
48# The part to the right can be used for flags indicating special ROM's,
49# extra memory, particular terminal modes, or user preferences.
50# All names are always in lower case, for consistency in typing.
51# Because of file naming restrictions, terminal names should not contain
52# period or slash, in fact, entirely alphanumeric characters plus dash are
53# highly recommended.  These restrictions do not apply to the verbose name.
54#
55# The following are conventionally used flags:
56#	rv	Terminal in reverse video mode (black on white)
57#	2p	Has two pages of memory.  Likewise 4p, 8p, etc.
58#	w	Wide - in 132 column mode.
59#	pp	Has a printer port which is used.
60#	na	No arrow keys - terminfo ignores arrow keys which are
61#		actually there on the terminal, so the user can use
62#		the arrow keys locally.
63#
64# There are some cases where the same name is used for two different
65# terminals, e.g. "teleray" or "2621" or "vt100".  In these cases,
66# if a site has one of these, they should choose a local default and
67# bring that terminal to the front in the reorder script.  This works
68# because tgetent picks the first match in /etc/terminfo.
69# The list of names intentionally duplicated is:
70# 2621, c108, dtc, hp2621, teleray, tvi, vt100.
71#
72# If you absolutely MUST check for a specific terminal (this is discouraged)
73# check for the 2nd entry (the canonical form) since all other codes are
74# subject to change.  The two letter codes are there for version 6 and are
75# EXTREMELY subject to change, or even to go away if version 6 becomes for
76# all practical purposes obsolete.  We would much rather put in special
77# capabilities to describe your terminal rather than having you key on the
78# name.
79#
80#  Special manufacturer codes:
81#	A: hardcopy daisy wheel terminals
82#	M: Misc. (with only a few terminals)
83#  	q: Homemade
84#  	s: special (dialup, etc.)
85#
86# Comments in this file begin with # - they cannot appear in the middle
87# of a terminfo entry.  Individual entries are commented out by
88# placing a period between the colon and the capability name.
89#
90#  This file is to be installed with an editor script (reorder)
91#  that moves the most common terminals to the front of the file.
92#  If the source is not available, it can be constructed by sorting
93#  the above entries by the 2 char initial code.
