Package: ncurses-bin
Version: 6.3-2
Severity: minor
In the infocmp(1) man page:
Changing Databases [-A directory] [-B directory]
Like other ncurses utilities, infocmp looks for the terminal
descriptions in several places. You can use the TERMINFO and
TERMINFO_DIRS environment variables to override the compiled-in
default list of places to search (see curses(3X) for details).
The curses(3X) man page does not exist. It is curses(3ncurses).
Moreover,
FILES
/etc/terminfo Compiled terminal description database.
It is empty in my case. It appears that infocmp looks at other places,
such as /lib/terminfo (most cases) and "$HOME/.terminfo". Instead of
giving a directory that is not used in practice, give a reference to
the curses(3ncurses) man page?
