# support Berkeley DB termcaps
These are low-level functions to extract and use capabilities from
a terminal capability (termcap) database.
-The B<Tgetent> function extracts the entry of the specified terminal
-type I<TERM> (defaults to the environment variable I<TERM>) from the
-database.
-
-It will look in the environment for a I<TERMCAP> variable. If
-found, and the value does not begin with a slash, and the terminal
-type name is the same as the environment string I<TERM>, the
-I<TERMCAP> string is used instead of reading a termcap file. If
-it does begin with a slash, the string is used as a path name of
-the termcap file to search. If I<TERMCAP> does not begin with a
-slash and name is different from I<TERM>, B<Tgetent> searches the
-files F<$HOME/.termcap>, F</etc/termcap>, and F</usr/share/misc/termcap>,
-in that order, unless the environment variable I<TERMPATH> exists,
-in which case it specifies a list of file pathnames (separated by
-spaces or colons) to be searched B<instead>. Whenever multiple
-files are searched and a tc field occurs in the requested entry,
-the entry it names must be found in the same file or one of the
-succeeding files. If there is a C<:tc=...:> in the I<TERMCAP>
-environment variable string it will continue the search in the
-files as above.
-
-I<OSPEED> is the terminal output bit rate (often mistakenly called
-the baud rate). I<OSPEED> can be specified as either a POSIX
-termios/SYSV termio speeds (where 9600 equals 9600) or an old
-BSD-style speeds (where 13 equals 9600).
+More information on the terminal capabilities will be found in the
+termcap manpage on most Unix-like systems.
-B<Tgetent> returns a blessed object reference which the user can
-then use to send the control strings to the terminal using B<Tputs>
-and B<Tgoto>. It calls C<croak> on failure.
+=head2 METHODS
-B<Tgoto> decodes a cursor addressing string with the given parameters.
+=over 4
The output strings for B<Tputs> are cached for counts of 1 for performance.
B<Tgoto> and B<Tpad> do not cache. C<$self-E<gt>{_xx}> is the raw termcap
B<Tgoto>, B<Tputs>, and B<Tpad> return the string and will also
output the string to $FH if specified.
-The extracted termcap entry is available in the object
-as C<$self-E<gt>{TERMCAP}>.

- # require certain capabilities to be available
- $terminal->Trequire(qw/ce ku kd/);

- # Output Routines, if $FH is undefined these just return the string
-
- # Tgoto does the % expansion stuff with the given args
