     Description
          These names are used by certain commands (e.g., nroff(CT),
          and mm(CT), and are maintained as part of the shell

          variable $TERM:

          Up to 8 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 -.  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.

     SEE ALSO
          environ(M), mm(CT), nroff(CT), profile(M), sh(C), stty(C),
          term(F).

     Notes
          The XENIX Development System must be installed on the
          computer to create new driving tables (see term(F)).

          Not all XENIX facilities support all of these options.

          The use of these terminal types is unrelated to the use of
          the termcap(M) facility.
