3. Information about the terminfo package on openSUSE Leap

Information for package terminfo:
---------------------------------
Repository : Update repository with updates from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15
Name : terminfo
Version : 6.1-150000.5.20.1
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : SUSE LLC
Installed Size : 1.9 MiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : ncurses-6.1-150000.5.20.1.src
Upstream URL : http://www.invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.html
Summary : A terminal descriptions database
Description :
This is the terminfo reference database, maintained in the ncurses
package. This database is the official successor to the 4.4BSD termcap
file and contains information about any known terminal. The ncurses
library makes use of this database to use terminals correctly. If you
just use the Linux console, xterm, and VT100, you probably will not
need this database -- a minimal /usr/share/terminfo tree for these
terminals is already included in the terminfo-base package.
