libterminfo

libterminfo is a port of the NetBSD terminfo library.

It is designed to be lightweight and embeddable into programs where you do not want or have ncurses.

libterminfo is known to work with mg.

It comes with a Makefile designed for OpenBSD and a Makefile.POSIX for everything else. Operating systems besides OpenBSD may need some tweaks to build; feel free to send any fixes as Pull Requests here.

libterminfo has a built-in termcap database with entries for ansi, dumb, rxvt-unicode-256color, screen, screen-256color, st, tmux, tmux-256color, vt100, vt220, wsvt25, xterm, and xterm-256color terminals, which should handle the vast majority of cases. libterminfo comes with the tools needed to add additional termcap entries, if desired.
