Subpackage Descriptions
single Termcap describes the capabilities of various character-cell terminals. Various programs like shells or editors need to know them. This package is only needed on operating systems that don't provide a capabilites db. This version of the termcap file contains some entries that are more than 1023 bytes long, which is the largest value that is safe to use with the many historical applications that only allocate a 1024 byte termcap buffer (telnet, for example). If you make sure that all of your programs allocate buffers of at least 2500 bytes, or let the termcap library do it by passing a NULL pointer, it is safe to use this termcap file.
