            _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n

                 'Term_type'  prints  a  mnemonic for the type of the current
                 user's terminal on standard output when it is called with no
                 arguments.  The mnemonic is  suitable  for  use  with  'se',
                 among other things.

                 If  one  of the other options is given, 'term_type' prints a
                 "1" or "0" to indicate whether or not the option is selected
                 for the terminal.  For instance, "term_type -se" prints  "1"
                 if the terminal is supported by 'se'.

                 If  no  terminal  type  has  been  specified  for the user's
                 terminal, the call to 'gtattr' or  'gttype'  in  'term_type'
                 will  request  the  terminal type from the user.  Otherwise,
                 'term_type' will use the remembered terminal type.
