Monochrome Attributes

Terminals have 5 distinct monochrome display attributes. They are as follows:

NORMAL
REVERSE
UNDERLINE
HIGH_INT
BLINK

Each of these monochrome physical attribute names is mapped to an attribute code. The attribute code in turn is mapped to a control sequence. The control sequence that it is mapped to depends on the information contained in the vvtermcap entry for each type of terminal.

Warning: Do not attempt to modify these states with video attribute modifiers.
