       NAME
             curs_termcap: tgetent, tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tgoto,
             tputs - curses interfaces (emulated) to the termcap library

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . .] file -lcurses [library . . .]
             #include <curses.h>
             #include <term.h>
             int tgetent(char *bp, char *name);
             int tgetflag(char id[2]);
             int tgetnum(char id[2]);
             char *tgetstr(char id[2], char **area);
             char *tgoto(char *cap, int col, int row);
             int tputs(char *str, int affcnt, int (*putc)(void));

       DESCRIPTION
             These routines are included as a conversion aid for programs
             that use the termcap library.  Their parameters are the same
             and the routines are emulated using the terminfo database.
             These routines are supported at Level 2 and should not be used
             in new applications.

             The tgetent routine looks up the termcap entry for name.  The
             emulation ignores the buffer pointer bp.

             The tgetflag routine gets the boolean entry for id.

             The tgetnum routine gets the numeric entry for id.

             The tgetstr routine returns the string entry for id.  Use
             tputs to output the returned string.

             The tgoto routine instantiates the parameters into the given
             capability.  The output from this routine is to be passed to
             tputs.

             The tputs routine is described in the curs_terminfo(3curses)
             manual page.

          Return Values
             Routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure and an
             integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.

             Routines that return pointers return NULL on error.
