TERMINFO (UNIX)

The TERMINFO environment variable is used for terminal handling.

The environment variable is supported only on platforms that provide full support for the terminfo libraries that System V and Solaris UNIX systems provide.

>>-setenv--TERMINFO--/usr/lib/terminfo-------------------------><
 

TERMINFO tells DB–Access to communicate with the terminfo directory instead of the termcap file. The terminfo directory has subdirectories that contain files that pertain to terminals and their characteristics.

To set TERMINFO, enter the following command:

setenv    TERMINFO   /usr/lib/terminfo

If you set the TERMINFO environment variable, you must also set the INFORMIXTERM environment variable to terminfo.
