I don't understand what you mean by `a termlib interface'. Termcap and termlib
are supposed to provide the same interface [at the minimum termcap level at
least] which contains:

int   tgetent	__P((char *, char *));
char *tgetstr	__P((char *, char **));
int   tgetflag	__P((char *));
int   tgetnum	__P((char *));
char *tgoto	__P((char *, int, int));
char *tputs	__P((char *, int, void (*)(int)));
