 +====== Special Terminal Capabilities ======
 +
 +The following table describes all terminal capabilities that are recognized  by  ''screen''  and are not in the ''termcap(5)'' manual.  You can place these capabilities in your termcap entries (in /etc/termcap) or use them with the commands ''[[commands:termcap]]'', ''[[commands:terminfo]]'', and ''[[commands:termcapinfo]]'' in your screenrc files.  It is often not possible to place these capabilities in the terminfo database.
 +
 +| LP | (bool) | Terminal as  VT100 style margins ("magic margins").  Note that this capability is obsolete because screen uses the standard ''xn'' instead. |
 +| Z0 | (str)  | Change width to 132 columns. |
 +| Z1 | (str)  | Change width to 80 columns. |
 +| WS | (str)  | Resize display.  This capability has the desired width and height as arguments.  SunView(tm) example: ''\E[8;%d;%dt''. |
 +| NF | (bool) | Terminal doesn't need flow control.  Send %%^S%% and %%^Q%% direct to the application.  Same as ''[[commands:flow]] off''.  The opposite of this capability is ''nx''. |
 +| G0 | (bool) | Terminal can deal with ISO 2022 font selection sequences. |
 +| S0 | (str)  | Switch charset ''G0'' to the specified charset.  Default is ''\E(%.''. |
 +| E0 | (str)  | Switch charset ''G0'' back to standard charset.  Default is ''\E(B''. |
 +| C0 | (str)  | Use the string as a conversion table for font "0".  See the ''ac'' capability for more details. |
 +| CS | (str)  | Switch cursor-keys to application mode. |
 +| CE | (str)  | Switch cursor-keys back to normal mode. |
 +| AN | (bool) | Turn on autonuke.  See the ''[[commands:autonuke]]'' command for more details. |
 +| OL | (num)  | Set the output buffer limit.  See the ''[[commands:obuflimit]]'' command for more details. |
 +| KJ | (str)  | Set the encoding of the terminal.  See the ''[[commands:encoding]]'' command for valid encodings. |
 +| AF | (str)  | Change character foreground color in an ANSI conformant way.  This capability will almost always be set to ''\E[3%dm'' (''\E[3%p1%dm'' on terminfo machines). |
 +| AB | (str)  | Same as ''AF'', but change background color. |
 +| AX | (bool) | Does understand ANSI set default fg/bg color (''\E[39m'' / ''\E[49m''). |
 +| XC | (str)  | Describe a translation of characters to strings depending on the current font.  More details follow in the next section. |
 +| XT | (bool) | Terminal understands special xterm sequences (OSC, mouse tracking). |
 +| C8 | (bool) | Terminal needs bold to display high-intensity colors (e.g. Eterm). |
 +| TF | (bool) | Add missing capabilities to the termcap/info entry.  (Set by default). |
