## Description[#](https://libtmux.org/en/tmux/3.2a/catalog/options/terminal-overrides/#description)

Allow terminal descriptions read using [terminfo(5)]() to be overridden. Each entry is a colon-separated string made up of a terminal type pattern (matched using [fnmatch(3)]()) and a set of *name=value* entries.

For example, to set the ‘`clear`’ [terminfo(5)]() entry to ‘`\e[H\e[2J`’ for all terminal types matching ‘`rxvt*`’:

`rxvt*:clear=\e[H\e[2J`

The terminal entry value is passed through [strunvis(3)]() before interpretation.
