+tset \- set terminal modes
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B tset
+[
+.I options
+]
+[
+.B -m
+.RB test : type
+...
+]
+[
+.I type
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Tset
+conditionally
+sets erase and kill characters, tabs, delays, etc.
+for terminals.
+It is typically used in startup profiles; see
+.IR sh (1).
+In default of a specified terminal
+.I type
+(listed in the file
+.FR /etc/termcap )
+the type is taken from the environment variable
+.LR TERM .
+Option
+.B -m
+determines the type based on source and baud rate:
+.IP
+.B -m
+.RI [\fB> baud ]\fB: type
+.LP
+No sources are distinguished at present.
+The test
+.L >
+may be replaced by
+.LR < ,
+.LR = ,
+or
+.L @
+(same as
+.LR = ).
+The test may be preceded by
+.L !
+for negation.
+A
+.I type
+may be preceded by
+.L ?
+to cause
+.I tset
+to query whether the guess is right.
+Tests are performed left-to-right until one is satisfied.
+A final default
+.I type
+prevails when all tests fail.
+Thus
+.IP
+.L
+tset -m \'>1200:5620\' \'?hp\'
+.LP
+assumes the terminal is a 5620 if the line speed exceeds 1200 baud.
+Otherwise it assumes an hp terminal but asks for confirmation,
+giving you a chance to name another type.
+.PP
+The
+.B -s
+option causes tset to place on the standard output shell commands
+for setting the environment variables
+.L TERM
+and
+.LR TERMCAP .
+Use this feature thus:
+.IP
+.L
+eval \`tset -s \fIoption ...\fR\`
+.PP
+On terminals that can backspace but not overstrike
+and when the erase character is the default erase character
+.RL ( #
+on standard systems),
+the erase character is changed to a Control-H
+(backspace).
+.PP
+Other options are:
+.TP
+.BI -e " c"
+set the erase character to
+.I c,
+or backspace if
+.I c
+is missing
+.TP
+.BI -k " c"
+set the kill character similarly; use control-X if
+.I c
+is missing
+.TP
+.B -I
+suppress outputting terminal initialization strings
+.TP
+.B -Q
+suppress printing
+`Erase set to' and `Kill set to' messages
+.TP
+.B -S
+Outputs
+.L TERM
+and
+.L TERMCAP
+in the environment rather than in shell commands
