Aren't termcap and terminfo linux (or maybe unix) only?

• feanaro 8y ago
  termcap is supported on FreeBSD, at the least.

  Both of them long predate Linux. They're definitely Unix-flavored, but so's the Berkeley sockets library, and that's available everywhere, too. Ultimately, they're a library which is packaged with a database, and nothing about them is very system-specific except the terminal information in the database. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminfo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminfo

  termcap was written by Bill Joy in 1978. terminfo dates back to 1982.
