Terminfo Source Format [Toc] [Back]
The terminfo database contains a description of the capabilities of a
variety of devices, such as terminals and printers. Devices are
described by specifying a set of capabilities, by quantifying certain
aspects of the device, and by specifying character sequences that
effect particular results.
This manpage specifies the format of terminfo source files.
X/Open-compliant implementations must provide a facility that accepts
source files in the format specified in this manpage as a means of
entering information into the terminfo database. The facility for
installing this information into the database is implementationspecific.
A valid terminfo entry describing a given model of terminal
can be added to terminfo on any X/Open-compliant implementation to
permit use of the same terminal model.
The Source File Syntax section describes the syntax of terminfo source
files. A grammar and lexical conventions appear in the Formal Grammar
section below. A list of all terminal capabilities defined by X/Open
appears in the Defined Capabilities section below. An example follows
in the Sample Entry section below. The Device Capabilities section
describes the specification of devices in general, such as video

ENHANCED CURSES
terminals. The Printer Capabilities section describes the
specification of 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. This usage allows them to work with a variety of devices
without changes to the programs.
Source File Syntax [Toc] [Back]
Source files can use the ISO 8859-1 codeset. The behavior when the
source file is in another codeset is unspecified. Traditional
practice has been to translate information from other codesets into
the source file syntax.
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 commaseparated
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:
alias1 | alias2 | ... | aliasn | longname,
whitespaceam, lines #24,
whitespacehome=\Eeh,
The 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 implementationspecific
terminfo compilation utilities. Implementations will
recognize alias names consisting only of characters from the portable
file name 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 implementationspecific
terminfo compilation utilities.

terminfo(4) terminfo(4)
ENHANCED CURSES
Each capability in terminfo is of one of the following types:
+ Boolean capabilities show that a device has or does not have a
particular feature.
+ Numeric capabilities quantify particular features of a device.
+ String capabilities provide sequences that can be used to
perform particular operations on devices.
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>.
Minimum Guaranteed Limits [Toc] [Back]
All X/Open-compliant implementations support at least the following
limits for the terminfo source file:
Source File Characteristic Minimum Guaranteed
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.
Formal Grammar [Toc] [Back]
The grammar and lexical conventions in this section together describe
the syntax for terminfo terminal descriptions within a terminfo source
file. A terminal description that satisfies the requirements of this
section will be accepted by all implementations. (The notation "(n)"
refers to a note following the description.)

first feature on the feature line. This is handled by the
lexical analyzer.
Note (4) A STRING feature that begins after column one but is the
first feature on the feature line. This is handled by the
lexical analyzer.
The lexical conventions for terminfo descriptions are as follows:
1. White space consists of the <space> and <tab> characters.
2. An ALIAS may contain any graph characters other than comma
(,), slash (/), and bar (|). (Graph characters are those

characters for which isgraph() returns nonzero; see
ctype(3C).)
3. A LONGNAME may contain any print characters other than comma
(,) and bar (|). (Print characters are those characters for
which isprint() returns nonzero; see ctype(3C).)
4. A BOOLEAN feature may contain any print characters other
than comma (,), equals (=), and pound sign (#).
5. A NUMERIC feature consists of:
a. A name which may contain any print character other than
comma (,), equals (=), and pound sign (#).
b. The pound sign (#) character.
c. A positive integer which conforms to the C language
convention for integer constants.
6. A STRING feature consists of:
a. A name which may contain any print character other than
comma (,), equals (=), and pound sign (#).
b. The equals (=) character.
c. A string which may contain any print characters other
than comma (,).
7. White space immediately following a comma (,) is ignored.
8. Comments consist of the beginning of a line, optional white
space, a required pound sign (#), and a terminating end of
line.
9. A header line must begin in column one.
10. A feature line must not begin in column one.
11. Blank lines are ignored.
Defined Capabilities [Toc] [Back]
X/Open defines the capabilities listed in the following tables. All
X/Open-compliant implementations must accept each of these
capabilities in an entry in a terminfo source file. Implementations
use this 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)).

ENHANCED CURSES
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 updating the
source file and by the tput command (see tput(1)).
Termcap Codes provided for compatibility with older
applications. These codes are TO BE WITHDRAWN.
Because of this, not all Capnames have Termcap codes.

Types of Capabilities in the Sample Entry [Toc] [Back]
The sample entry shows the formats for the three types of terminfo
capabilities: boolean, numeric, and string. All capabilities
specified in the terminfo source file must be followed by commas,
including the last capability in the source file. In terminfo source
files, capabilities are referenced by their capability names (as shown
in the Capname column of the previous tables).
Boolean Capabilities [Toc] [Back]
A boolean capability is true if its Capname is present in the entry,
and false if its Capname is not present in the entry.
The "@" character following a Capname is used to explicitly declare
that a boolean capability is false, in situations described in the

Numeric Capabilities [Toc] [Back]
Numeric capabilities are followed by the character "#" and then a
positive integer value. The example assigns the value 80 to the cols
numeric capability by coding:
cols#80
Values for numeric capabilities may be specified in decimal, octal or
hexadecimal, using normal C-language conventions.
String Capabilities [Toc] [Back]
String-valued capabilities such as el (clear to end of line sequence)
are listed by the Capname, an "=", and a string ended by the next
occurrence of a comma.
A delay in milliseconds may appear anywhere in such a capability,
preceded by "$" and
