NAME
     curs_termcap:  tgetent, tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tgoto -
          curses interfaces (emulated) to the termcap library

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>
     #include <term.h>

     int tgetent(char *bp, char *name);
     int tgetflag(char id[2]);
     int tgetnum(char id[2]);
     char *tgetstr(char id[2], char **area);
     char *tgoto(char *cap, int col, int row);
     int tputs(char *str, int affcnt, int (*putc)(void));

DESCRIPTION
     These routines are included as a conversion aid for programs
     that use the termcap library.  Their parameters are the same
     and the routines are emulated using the terminfo database.
     These routines are supported at Level 2 and should not be
     used in new applications.

     The tgetent routine looks up the termcap entry for name.
     The emulation ignores the buffer pointer bp.

     The tgetflag routine gets the boolean entry for id.

     The tgetnum routine gets the numeric entry for id.

     The tgetstr routine returns the string entry for id.  Use
     tputs to output the returned string.

     The tgoto routine instantiates the parameters into the given
     capability.  The output from this routine is to be passed to
     tputs.

     The tputs routine is described on the curs_terminfo(4)
     manual page.

RETURN VALUE
     Routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure and
     an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.

     Routines that return pointers return NULL on error.

NOTES
     The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header
     files <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.
