types of output devices, such as printing terminals, special word
processing terminals (such as Diablo, Qume, or NEC Spinwriter
mechanisms), or special output filter programs. These driving
tables are written as ASCII files, and are installed in
/usr / lib/nterm/tab. name, where name is the name for
that terminal type as given in term(5).
