     Up to 8 characters, chosen from [-a-z0-9], comprise a basic
     terminal name.  Terminal sub-models and operational modes
     are distinguished by suffixes beginning with a -.  Names
     should generally be based on original vendors, rather than
     local distributors.  A terminal acquired from one vendor
     should not have more than one distinct basic name.

     Commands whose behavior depends on the type of terminal
     should accept arguments of the form -Tterm where term is one
     of the names given above; if no such argument is present,
     such commands should obtain the terminal type from the
     environment variable $TERM, which, in turn, should contain
     term.
