captoinfo (link to tic), clear, infocmp, infotocap (link to tic), reset (link to tset), tack, tic, toe, tput and tset.
captoinfo converts a termcap description into a terminfo description.
clear clears the screen if this is possible. It looks in the environment for the terminal type and then in the terminfo database to figure out how to clear the screen.
infocmp can be used to compare a binary terminfo entry with other terminfo entries, rewrite a terminfo description to take advantage of the use= terminfo field, or print out a terminfo description from the binary file (term) in a variety of formats (the opposite of what tic does).
info to cap converts a terminfo description into a termcap description.
reset sets cooked and echo modes, turns off cbreak and raw modes, turns on new-line translation and resets any unset special characters to their default values before doing terminal initialization the same way as tset.
tack is the terminfo action checker.
tic is the terminfo entry-description compiler. The program translates a terminfo file from source format into the binary format for use with the ncurses library routines. Terminfo files contain information about the capabilities of a terminal.
toe lists all available terminal types by primary name with descriptions.
tput uses the terminfo database to make the values of terminal-dependent capabilities and information available to the shell, to initialize or reset the terminal, or return the long name of the requested terminal type.
tset initializes terminals so they can be used, but it's not widely used anymore. It's provided for 4.4BSD compatibility.

The libraries that make up the Ncurses library are used to display text (often in a fancy way) on the screen. An example where ncurses is used is in the kernel's "make menuconfig" process. The libncurses libraries are the base of the system.
libform is used to implement forms in ncurses.
libmenu is used to implement menus in ncurses.
libpanel is used to implement panels in ncurses.
