Usually it is documented in the manpages and in other formats, like=20 nroff-based, depending on system. Before ncurses we and all BSDs have=20 standard manpages describing termcap functions family and file format for years. Do you keep some CDs with old BSDs, by chance? libtermcap =3D libtermlib, historycally libmytinfo is for some non-standard stuff, maybe terminfo emulation based= =20 on termcap, I don't remember exactly now. Curses implementation can be layer on termcap or on terminfo (or even=20 on something else). In later cases it may not provide termcap=20 compatibility or do it poorly. SysV curses API standartization effors=20 shows up relatively recent, many Unix-likes and others (DOS f.e.) have=20 their own not fully SysV API compatible curses-es. --=20 Andrey Chernov | http://ache.pp.ru/ --tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iQCVAwUBQXPY8+JgpPLZnQjrAQEMFAQA3AeVEVmekPCbqEEGflDCNP2q64Auz7Og 53tATJfatLY5pJtS1RG2bQr3Au2DkdfPgljBomcYctL2oYSWouCHkeQ+CLanLIaa RcJEXVnbioFDA5rYXRGA8XRsrcWVk6NGTydZqhxyVyb2ihJvYnA0hqt3mhEjq8KA 61FEwcRJIqY= =feVA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB--
