DESCRIPTION

33       These routines are included as a conversion aid for programs  that  use
34       the termcap library. Their parameters are the same and the routines are
35       emulated using the terminfo database. These routines are  supported  at
36       Level 2 and should not be used in new applications.
37
38
39       The  tgetent()  routine looks up the termcap entry for name. The emula‐
40       tion ignores the buffer pointer bp.
41
42
43       The tgetflag() routine gets the boolean entry for id.
44
45
46       The tgetnum() routine gets the numeric entry for id.
47
48
49       The tgetstr() routine returns the string entry for id. Use  tputs()  to
50       output the returned string.
51
52
53       The tgoto() routine instantiates the parameters into the given capabil‐
54       ity. The output from this routine is to be passed to tputs().
55
56
57       The tputs() routine is described on the  curs_terminfo(3CURSES)  manual
58       page.

RETURN VALUES

61       Routines  that return an integer return ERR upon failure and an integer
62       value other than ERR upon successful completion.
63
64
65       Routines that return pointers return NULL on error.
