-description.</para></sect4>

-<para>clear clears the screen if this is possible. It looks in

-to figure out how to clear the screen.</para></sect4>
-
-<sect4><title>infocmp</title>
-<para>infocmp can be used to compare a binary terminfo entry with
-other terminfo entries, rewrite a terminfo description to 
-take advantage of the use= terminfo field, or print out a
-terminfo description from the binary file (term) in a variety of 
-formats (the opposite of what tic does).</para></sect4>

-<para>info to cap converts a terminfo description into a termcap
-description.</para></sect4>
-
-<sect4><title>reset</title>
-<para>reset sets cooked and echo modes, turns off cbreak and raw modes, 
-turns on new-line translation and resets any unset special characters to
-their default values before doing terminal initialization the same way
-as tset.</para></sect4>

-<para>tack is the terminfo action checker.</para></sect4>
-
-<sect4><title>tic</title>
-<para>tic is the terminfo entry-description compiler. The program translates a
-terminfo file from source format into the binary format for use with the
-ncurses library routines. Terminfo files contain information about the
-capabilities of a terminal.</para></sect4>

-<sect4><title>toe</title>
-<para>toe lists all available terminal types by primary name with
-descriptions.</para></sect4>
-
-<sect4><title>tput</title>
-<para>tput uses the terminfo database to make the values of
-terminal-dependent capabilities and information available to the shell,
-to initialize or reset the terminal, or return the long name of the
-requested terminal type.</para></sect4>
-
-<sect4><title>tset</title>
-<para>tset initializes terminals so they can be used, but it's not
-widely used anymore. It's provided for 4.4BSD compatibility.</para></sect4>
