In xterm(1). From the manpage:
.......Termcap(5) entries that work with xterm include
``xterm,'' ``vt102,'' ``vt100'' and ``ansi,'' and xterm
automatically searches the termcap file in this order for
these entries and then sets the ``TERM'' and the ``TERM-
CAP'' environment variables. You may also use ``vt220,''
but must set the terminal emulation level with the decTer-
minalID resource.
You can change the TERM variable with the '-tn' option.
