NAME
    "Term::Terminfo" - access the terminfo database

SYNOPSIS
     use Term::Terminfo;

     my $ti = Term::Terminfo->new;

     printf "This terminal %s do overstrike\n",
        $ti->getflag('os') ? "can" : "cannot";

     printf "Tabs on this terminal are initially every %d columns\n",
        $ti->getnum('it');

DESCRIPTION
    Objects in this class provide access to terminfo database entires.

CONSTRUCTOR
  $ti = Term::Terminfo->new( $termtype )
    Constructs a new "Term::Terminfo" object representing the given
    termtype. If $termtype is not defined, $ENV{TERM} will be used instead.
    If that variable is empty, "vt100" will be used.

METHODS
  $bool = $ti->getflag( $capname )
    Returns the value of the named boolean capability.

  $num = $ti->getnum( $capname )
    Returns the value of the named numeric capability.

  $str = $ti->getstr( $capname )
    Returns the value of the named string capability.

TODO
    This distribution provides a small accessor interface onto terminfo. It
    was originally created simply so I can get at the "bce" capability flag
    of the current terminal, because screen unlike every other terminal
    ever, doesn't do this. Grrr.

    The current implementation just screenscrapes the output of `infocmp`.
    It should probably be implemented more sanely by direct access to
    terminfo. It probably also wants more accessors for things like "tparm"
    and "tputs". I may at some point consider them.
