NAME

       terms - database of blessed terminals for xtermset.

DESCRIPTION

       The  terms database is a file whichs tells xtermset which terminals are
       controllable.

       terms is usually located in /usr/share/xtermset  and  it  is  an  ASCII
       file.  A blessed terminal is described in one line.

       There   are  several  modifiers  which  affect  the  way  how  xtermset
       interprets the TERM variable.

       ^<term-name> tells xtermset that $TERM should begin with <term-name>

       <term-name>$ tells xtermset that $TERM should begin with <term-name>

       <term-name> tells xtermset that $TERM must contain <term-name>

       You can combine the ^ and the $ options to create an  exact  match  for
       $TERM
