t\bte\ber\brm\bm - conventional names for terminals

Certain commands use these terminal names. They are maintained as part of
the shell environment (see sh(1), environ(7)).
The list goes on and on. Consult _\b/_\bu_\bs_\br_\b/_\bs_\bh_\ba_\br_\be_\b/_\bm_\bi_\bs_\bc_\b/_\bt_\be_\br_\bm_\bc_\ba_\bp _\b(_\bs_\be_\be
termcap(5)) for an up-to-date and locally correct list.
Commands whose behavior may depend on the terminal either consult TERM in
the environment, or accept arguments of the form -\b-T\bTt\bte\ber\brm\bm, where t\bte\ber\brm\bm is
one of the names given above.
