It tries to loosely mimic ncurses to look up a terminfo entry for the current terminal, as mentioned in the terminfo(5) manual. Unlike ncurses, it doesn't handle TERMINFO_DIRS, though, to avoid parsing an array of directories for the sake of simplicity. Every line of code in this file is part of the interactive shell's start-up sequence, which makes it a trade-off between correctness and speed. Therefore, the purpose of this warning is not to exhaustively catch all possible corner cases, but to serve as a convenience in the majority of cases. Ultimately, if someone is using an exotic terminal set-up, then a missing warning is a minor price to pay in order to not slow things down for the vast majority of users who don't. Based on code written by Mert Alp Taytak: containers#515 containers#505
