Maybe you do not know how terminfo/termcap works.
Let me add the output of my "cap" program that disaccembles termcap (terminfo
is pretty much the same). Look at the init and reset strings to understand that
it is the decision of the creator what to put into the reset string.
tbuf: 'x1|xterm|vs100|xterm terminal emulator (X Window System)'
'am' -> TRUE terminal has automatic margins
'xn' -> TRUE newline ignored after 80 cols (concept)
'km' -> TRUE Has a meta key, sets msb high
'mi' -> TRUE safe to move while in insert mode
'ms' -> TRUE safe to move while in standout mode
'co' -> 80 number of columns in a line
'li' -> 65 number of lines on screen or page
'cs' -> '\E[%i%d;%dr' change region to line #1 to line #2 (P)
'ct' -> '\E[3k' clear all tab stops (P)
'cl' -> '\E[H\E[2J' clear screen and home cursor (P*)
'ce' -> '\E[K' clear to end of line (P)
'cd' -> '\E[J' clear to end of screen (P*)
'cm' -> '\E[%i%d;%dH' move to row #1 columns #2
'ho' -> '\E[H' home cursor
'nd' -> '\E[C' move right one space
'up' -> '\E[A' up one line
'dc' -> '\E[P' delete character (P*)
'dl' -> '\E[M' delete line (P*)
'md' -> '\E[1m' turn on bold (extra bright) mode
'ti' -> '\E7\E[?47h' string to start programs using cursor_address
'im' -> '\E[4h' enter insert mode
'mr' -> '\E[7m' turn on reverse video mode
'so' -> '\E[7m' begin standout mode
'us' -> '\E[4m' begin underline mode
'me' -> '\E[m' turn off all attributes
'te' -> '\E[2J\E[?47l\E8' strings to end programs using cup
'ei' -> '\E[4l' exit insert mode
'se' -> '\E[m' exit standout mode
'ue' -> '\E[m' exit underline mode
'is' -> '\E[r\E[m\E[2J\E[H\E[?7h\E[?1;3;4;6l\E[4l' initialization
string
'al' -> '\E[L' insert line (P*)
'kb' -> '\b' backspace key
'kd' -> '\EOB' down-arrow key
'k1' -> '\EOP' F1 function key
'k2' -> '\EOQ' F2 function key
'k3' -> '\EOR' F3 function key
'k4' -> '\EOS' F4 function key
'kl' -> '\EOD' left-arrow key
'kr' -> '\EOC' right-arrow key
'ku' -> '\EOA' up-arrow key
'ke' -> '\E[?1l\E>' leave 'keyboard_transmit' mode
'ks' -> '\E[?1h\E=' enter 'keyboard_transmit' mode
'DC' -> '\E[%dP' delete #1 chars (P*)
'DL' -> '\E[%dM' delete #1 lines (P*)
'DO' -> '\E[%dB' down #1 lines (P*)
'IC' -> '\E[%d@' insert #1 chars (P*)
'AL' -> '\E[%dL' insert #1 lines (P*)
'UP' -> '\E[%dA' up #1 lines (P*)
'rc' -> '\E8' restore cursor to last position of save_cursor
'sc' -> '\E7' save current cursor position (P)
'sf' -> '\n' scroll text up (P)
'sr' -> '\EM' scroll text down (P)
'rs' -> '\E[r\E[m\E[2J\E[H\E[?7h\E[?1;3;4;6l\E[4l\E<' terminal reset
string
OBSOLETE 'pt' -> TRUE has 8-char tabs invoked with ^I
OBSOLETE 'bs' -> TRUE uses ^H to move left
OBSOLETE 'kn' -> 4 count of function keys
