-+ The termcap functions provide no means for freeing memory, because
-+ legacy termcap implementations used only the buffer areas provided by
-+ the caller via <STRONG>tgetent</STRONG> and <STRONG>tgetstr</STRONG>. Those buffers are unused in ter-
-+ minfo.

-+ On the other hand, terminfo allocates memory. It uses <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> to re-
