tristate
prompt "termcap "
help
This is the GNU termcap library -- a library of C functions that
enable programs to send control strings to terminals in a way
independent of the terminal type. The GNU termcap library does not
place an arbitrary limit on the size of termcap entries, unlike most
other termcap libraries.
This is a static library only.

bool
prompt "install termcap data file"
depends on TERMCAP
default y
help
This installs the latest official termcap data file into /etc/termcap.src.
The current version contains some entries that are more than 1023 bytes
long, which is the largest value that is safe to use with the many
historical applications that only allocate a 1024 byte termcap buffer
(telnet, for example). If you make sure that all of your programs
allocate buffers of at least 2500 bytes, or let the termcap library do
it by passing a NULL pointer, then it is safe to install the new
termcap file.
To handle different terminal capabilities this database is needed by
applications on the target.
