TERM

Purpose

     Lists conventional names for terminals.

Description

     These names  are used primarily  for commands such  as mm
     and nroff.   These names  are maintained  as part  of the
     shell  environment  in the  variable  TERM.   See the  sh
     command in AIX Operating System Commands Reference for an
     explanation of the shell.   Also see "profile" and "envi-
     ronment" in  this book  for use  of the  TERM environment
     variable.

     Up to eight characters chosen  from "[-a-z0-9]" make up a
     basic terminal name.  Terminal sub-models and operational
     modes are distinguished by  suffixes beginning with a "-"
     (hyphen).  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 parameters such as -Tterm where term is one
     of the names in the  preceding list.  If the parameter is
     not in the list, the  commands should obtain the terminal
     type from  the environment  variable TERM, which  in turn
     should contain term.  Any  unknown terminal is treated as
     a dumb terminal.

     This list does not  include all supported terminals.  See
     "terminfo" for additional TERM variables.
