| | | |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | | |
| tbc= | clear_all_tabs | Clear all tab stops |
| | | |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If tabs are expanded by the computer rather than sent to the device, by
convention, ht and cbt are not used because the user may not have the
tabs correctly set.
If the sequence to set tabs cannot be described adequately with tbc and
hts, it can be described with is2 or if.
The it string is normally used by tputs init to determine whether to set
the mode for hardware expansion and whether to set the tabs.
Terminal Key Capabilities
Table 3-19 lists the capabilities used to describe keys on the
terminal.

NOTE Refer back to Table 3-9 for a complete list of all the key
capabilities.
Key capabilities describe keypads that transmit sequences of characters
when keys are pressed. Keypads that work only in local mode cannot be
described. The keypad is assumed to always transmit; if the transmit of
keys can be turned on or off, this should be specified with smkx and
rmkx, respectively.
If the first 11 function keys have labels other than the default f0
through f10, they can be described using lf0 through lf10. If the keypad
has a 3 by 3 array of keys that includes the four arrow keys, the other
keys can be described as ka1, ka3, kb2, kc1, and kc3 as shown in the
diagram below.
