Packaging Guide for LPP Installation

Base AIX Terminal Function Package

This package contains the terminal descriptions for various terminals. These descriptions are used by libraries such as curses to obtain information about a terminal's capabilities.

Note: All bos.terminfo.<terminal>.data filesets require that bos.terminfo.rte be installed first. If you select the bos.terminfo package or the automatic pre-req install, this is automatically done for you.
