16.5 Special Terminal Capabilities

The following table describes all terminal capabilities that are recognized by screen and are not in the termcap manual (see section `Termcap' in The Termcap Manual). You can place these capabilities in your termcap entries (in `/etc/termcap') or use them with the commands termcap, terminfo and termcapinfo in your screenrc files. It is often not possible to place these capabilities in the terminfo database.

`LP': (bool)
Terminal has VT100 style margins (`magic margins'). Note that this capability is obsolete -- screen now uses the standard `xn' instead.
`Z0': (str)
Change width to 132 columns.
`Z1': (str)
Change width to 80 columns.
`WS': (str)
Resize display. This capability has the desired width and height as arguments. SunView(tm) example: `\E[8;%d;%dt'.
`NF': (bool)
Terminal doesn't need flow control. Send ^S and ^Q direct to the application. Same as flow off. The opposite of this capability is `nx'.
`G0': (bool)
Terminal can deal with ISO 2022 font selection sequences.
`S0': (str)
Switch charset `G0' to the specified charset. Default is `\E(%.'.
`E0': (str)
Switch charset `G0' back to standard charset. Default is `\E(B'.
`C0': (str)
Use the string as a conversion table for font 0. See the `ac' capability for more details.
`CS': (str)
Switch cursor-keys to application mode.
`CE': (str)
Switch cursor-keys to cursor mode.
`AN': (bool)
Enable autonuke for displays of this terminal type. (see section 16.6 Autonuke).
`OL': (num)
Set the output buffer limit. See the `obuflimit' command (see section 16.7 Obuflimit) for more details.
`KJ': (str)
Set the kanji type of the terminal. Valid strings are `jis', `euc' and `sjis'.
`AF': (str)
Change character foreground color in an ANSI conform way. This capability will almost always be set to `\E[3%dm' (`\E[3%p1%dm' on terminfo machines).
`AB': (str)
Same as `AF', but change background color.
`AX': (bool)
Does understand ANSI set default fg/bg color (`\E[39m / \E[49m').
`XC': (str)
Describe a translation of characters to strings depending on the current font. (see section 16.8 Character Translation).
`XT': (bool)
Terminal understands special xterm sequences (OSC, mouse tracking).
`TF': (bool)
Add missing capabilities to the termcap/info entry. (Set by default).
