- Terminfo abstract "Terminfo is a library and database that enables programs to use display terminals in a device-independent manner. This library has its origins in the UNIX System III operating system.Mark Horton implemented the first terminfo library in 1981-1982 as an improvement over termcap. The improvements include faster access to stored terminal descriptions, longer, more understandable names for terminal capabilities and general expression evaluation for strings sent to the terminal.Terminfo soon became the preferred form of terminal descriptions in UNIX, rather than termcap. This was imitated in pcurses in 1982-1984 by Pavel Curtis, and was available on other UNIX implementations, adapting or incorporating fixes from Mark Horton. For more information, refer to the posting on the comp.sources.unix newsgroup from December 1986.A terminfo database can describe the capabilities of hundreds of different display terminals. This allows external programs to be able to have character-based display output, independent of the type of terminal.Some configurations are:Number of lines on the screenMono mode; suppress colorUse visible bell instead of beep↑ ↑ ↑ ↑".
