That sounds like it would be libtermcap:

TERMCAP(3)                 Library Functions Manual                 TERMCAP(3)

NAME
     tgetent, tgetnum, tgetflag, tgetstr, tgoto, tputs -- terminal independent
     operation routines

LIBRARY
     Termcap Access Library (libtermcap, -ltermcap)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <termcap.h>

     char PC;
     char *BC;
     char *UP;

which uses some global variables...

DESCRIPTION
[...]
     The tgetent() function calls setupterm() and configures PC, UP and BC.
     Only PC is actually used internally.

-Olaf.
