.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm terminfo
|
|
.Nd terminal capability definition
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
describes the capabilities of terminals, used by programs such as
|
|
.Xr vi 1 ,
|
|
.Xr rogue 6
|
|
and libraries such as
|
|
.Xr curses 3 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
source described here needs to be compiled with
|
|
.Xr tic 1
|
|
to be of any use.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Entries in
|
|
.Nm
|
|
consist of a number of comma separated fields.
|
|
White space after each comma is ignored.
|
|
Embedded commas must be escaped by using a backslash.
|
|
Lines beginning with
|
|
.Sq #
|
|
in the first column are treated as comments.
|
|
Blank lines are ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The header line must begin in column one and end with a comma.
|
|
Inside the header line are terminal name and aliases,
|
|
separated by vertical bars, the last one being the long
|
|
description of the terminal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Capability lines then follow, starting on column two and ending with a comma.
|
|
Each capability is listed by its name, followed by its value if applicable.
|
|
Booleans have no values, numeric values are prefixed by
|
|
.Sq #
|
|
and strings are prefixed by
|
|
.Sq = .
|
|
Numbers can range from 0 to 32767 and string values can be up to 1000
|
|
characters long.
|
|
This implementation supports strings upto 32767 characters long, including the
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
terminator.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some escapes are available for strings - both
|
|
.Sy \eE
|
|
and
|
|
.Sy \ee
|
|
map to the
|
|
.Dv ESC
|
|
character,
|
|
.Sy ^X
|
|
maps to a control-X for any appropriate X, and the sequences
|
|
.Sy \en ,
|
|
.Sy \er ,
|
|
.Sy \et ,
|
|
.Sy \eb
|
|
and
|
|
.Sy \ef
|
|
map to linefeed, return, tab, backspace, and formfeed respectively.
|
|
Any character can be escaped in octal, such as
|
|
.Sy \e072 .
|
|
If you need to encode a
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
character, it should be escaped as
|
|
.Sy \e200 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A delay in milliseconds may appear anywhere in a string capability,
|
|
prefixed with a dollar sign and enclosed by angled brackets, such as
|
|
.Sy $\*[Lt]5\*[Gt] .
|
|
.Ss String Parameters
|
|
String capabilities sometimes require parameters.
|
|
Normally this just involves replacing the parameter with a supplied
|
|
variable; however, there are cases where the variable needs to be manipulated
|
|
or used in conditional expressions.
|
|
A stack is also provided for simple pop and push operations.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The below % encodings have the following meanings:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width %P[a-z]
|
|
.It Sy %%
|
|
outputs %
|
|
.It Sy %[[:]flags][width[.precision]][doxXs]
|
|
flags are
|
|
.Dq [-+#] .
|
|
Prefix with
|
|
.Sq \&:
|
|
to avoid interpreting
|
|
.Dq %-
|
|
as an operator.
|
|
.It Sy %c
|
|
pop a parameter and print the character representation of it.
|
|
.It Sy %s
|
|
pop a parameter and print the string representation of it.
|
|
.It Sy %p[1-9]
|
|
push the parameter [1-9].
|
|
.It Sy %P[a-z]
|
|
pop a parameter and push it to dynamic variable [a-z].
|
|
.It Sy %g[a-z]
|
|
push the dynamic variable [a-z].
|
|
.It Sy %P[A-Z]
|
|
pop a parameter and push it to static variable [a-z].
|
|
.It Sy %g[A-Z]
|
|
push the dynamic variable [A-Z].
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Static variables persist over
|
|
.Fn tparm
|
|
whereas dynamic variables do not.
|
|
.It Sy %'c'
|
|
char constant c.
|
|
.It Sy %{nn}
|
|
integer constant nn.
|
|
.It Sy %l
|
|
push the string length of the previously popped parameter.
|
|
.It Sy %+ Sy %- Sy %* Sy %/ Sy %m
|
|
arithmetic: pop two parameters and push the result.
|
|
.It Sy %& Sy %| Sy %^
|
|
bit operations: pop two parameters and push the result.
|
|
.It Sy %! Sy %~
|
|
unary operations: pop two parameters and push the result.
|
|
.It Sy %i
|
|
add 1 to parameters 1 and 2.
|
|
.It Sy %? Va expr Sy %t Ic then Sy %e Ic else Sy %;
|
|
If expr equates to zero then control passes to the optional else part.

.Ss Fetching Compiled Descriptions
|
|
This implementation uses hashed databases managed by
|
|
.Xr cdb 5
|
|
instead of directories.
|
|
To maintain compatability with other implementations,
|
|
.Pa .cdb
|
|
is appended to each file checked.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the environment variable
|
|
.Ev TERMINFO
|
|
is available, does not begin with
|
|
.Pq Sq / ,
|
|
can be compiled with the above rules and whose name matches
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
then it is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the environment variable
|
|
.Ev TERMCAP
|
|
is available and does not begin with a slash
|
|
.Pq Sq /
|
|
then it will be translated into
|
|
terminfo and compiled as above.
|
|
If its name matches
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
then it is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the environment variable
|
|
.Ev TERMINFO
|
|
is available and begins with a slash
|
|
.Pq Sq /
|
|
then only this file is searched.
|
|
Otherwise
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will first look for
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.terminfo ,
|
|
followed by
|
|
.Pa /usr/share/misc/terminfo
|
|
unless
|
|
.Ev TERMINFO_DIRS
|
|
is available.
|
|
If a matching description is not found then a small embedded database is
|
|
searched, which currently holds descriptions for ansi, dumb, vt100, vt220,
|
|
wsvt25, and xterm.
|
|
.Sh FILES

.Bl -tag -width /usr/share/misc/terminfo.cdb -compact
