- term - conventional names for terminals
-
- DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
- These names are used by certain commands (e.g., _m_a_n(1), _t_a_b_s(1), _t_p_u_t(1),
- _v_i(1) and _c_u_r_s_e_s(3X)) and are maintained as part of the shell environment
- in the environment variable TTTTEEEERRRRMMMM (see _s_h(1), _p_r_o_f_i_l_e(4), and _e_n_v_i_r_o_n(5)).
-
- Entries in _t_e_r_m_i_n_f_o(4) source files consist of a number of comma-
- separated fields. (To obtain the source description for a terminal, use
- the ----IIII option of _i_n_f_o_c_m_p(1M).) White space after each comma is ignored.
- The first line of each terminal description in the _t_e_r_m_i_n_f_o(4) database
- gives the names by which _t_e_r_m_i_n_f_o(4) knows the terminal, separated by bar
- ( | ) characters. The first name given is the most common abbreviation
- for the terminal (this is the one to use to set the environment variable
- TTTTEEEERRRRMMMMIIIINNNNFFFFOOOO in $_H_O_M_E/._p_r_o_f_i_l_e; see _p_r_o_f_i_l_e(4)), the last name given should
- be a long name fully identifying the terminal, and all others are
- understood as synonyms for the terminal name. All names but the last
- should contain no blanks and must be unique in the first 14 characters;
- the last name may contain blanks for readability.
-
- Terminal names (except for the last, verbose entry) should be chosen
- using the following conventions. The particular piece of hardware making
- up the terminal should have a root name chosen, for example, for the AT&T
- 4425 terminal, aaaatttttttt4444444422225555. This name should not contain hyphens, except
- that synonyms may be chosen that do not conflict with other names. Up to
- 8 characters, chosen from [a-z0-9], make up a basic terminal name. Names
- should generally be based on original vendors, rather than local
- distributors. A terminal acquired from one vendor should not have more
- than one distinct basic name. Terminal sub-models, operational modes
- that the hardware can be in, or user preferences, should be indicated by
- appending a hyphen and an indicator of the mode. Thus, an AT&T 4425
- terminal in 132 column mode would be aaaatttttttt4444444422225555----wwww. The following suffixes
- should be used where possible:
-
- SSSSuuuuffffffffiiiixxxx MMMMeeeeaaaannnniiiinnnngggg EEEExxxxaaaammmmpppplllleeee
- ----wwww Wide mode (more than 80 columns) att4425-w
- ----aaaammmm With auto. margins (usually default) vt100-am
- ----nnnnaaaammmm Without automatic margins vt100-nam
- -n Number of lines on the screen aaa-60
- ----nnnnaaaa No arrow keys (leave them in local) c100-na
- -npppp Number of pages of memory c100-4p
- ----rrrrvvvv Reverse video att4415-rv
-
- To avoid conflicts with the naming conventions used in describing the
- different modes of a terminal (e.g., ----wwww), it is recommended that a
- terminal's root name not contain hyphens. Further, it is good practice
- to make all terminal names used in the _t_e_r_m_i_n_f_o(4) database unique.
- Terminal entries that are present only for inclusion in other entries via
- the uuuusssseeee= facilities should have a '+' in their name, as in 4444444411115555++++nnnnllll.

- Commands whose behavior depends on the type of terminal should accept
- arguments of the form ----TTTT_t_e_r_m where _t_e_r_m is one of the names given above;
- if no such argument is present, such commands should obtain the terminal
- type from the environment variable TTTTEEEERRRRMMMM, which, in turn, should contain
- _t_e_r_m.
