$terminal
= Tgetent Term::Cap { TERM =>termtype
, OSPEED=>ospeed
}
Acts as the constructor for Term::Cap. Extracts the termcap entry for terminal type
termtype
and returns a reference to a terminal object. The termcap entry itself is
$terminal->{TERMCAP}
. Calls
Carp::croak
on failure. Takes the following arguments:
TERM =>
termtype
Terminal type. Defaults to the value of the environment variable TERM if termtype is false or undefined.
OSPEED =>
ospeed
The terminal output bit rate, specified as either a POSIX termios/SYSV termio speed or an old BSD-style speed. You can use the POSIX module to get your terminal's output speed (in ospeed here).
