tion to take advantage of the <STRONG>use=</STRONG> terminfo field, or
|
|
print out a <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> description from the binary file
|
|
(<STRONG>term</STRONG>) in a variety of formats. In all cases, the boolean

fields will be printed first, followed by the numeric

fields, followed by the string fields.

If no options are specified and zero or one <EM>termnames</EM> are

<STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> compares the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> description of the first
|
|
terminal <EM>termname</EM> with each of the descriptions given by
|
|
the entries for the other terminal's <EM>termnames</EM>. If a
|
|
capability is defined for only one of the terminals, the
|
|
value returned will depend on the type of the capability:
|
|
<STRONG>F</STRONG> for boolean variables, <STRONG>-1</STRONG> for integer variables, and
|
|
<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> for string variables.
|
|
|
|
The <STRONG>-d</STRONG> option produces a list of each capability that is
|
|
different between two entries. This option is useful to
|
|
show the difference between two entries, created by dif-
|
|
ferent people, for the same or similar terminals.
|
|
|
|
The <STRONG>-c</STRONG> option produces a list of each capability that is
|
|
common between two or more entries. Capabilities that are
|
|
not set are ignored. This option can be used as a quick
|
|
check to see if the <STRONG>-u</STRONG> option is worth using.
|
|
|
|
The <STRONG>-n</STRONG> option produces a list of each capability that is
|
|
in none of the given entries. If no <EM>termnames</EM> are given,
|
|
the environment variable <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> will be used for both of the
|
|
<EM>termnames</EM>. This can be used as a quick check to see if
|
|
anything was left out of a description.

|
|
The <STRONG>-I</STRONG>, <STRONG>-L</STRONG>, and <STRONG>-C</STRONG> options will produce a source listing
|
|
for each terminal named.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-I</STRONG> use the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> names
|
|
<STRONG>-L</STRONG> use the long C variable name listed in <<STRONG>term.h</STRONG>>
|
|
<STRONG>-C</STRONG> use the <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> names
|
|
<STRONG>-r</STRONG> when using <STRONG>-C</STRONG>, put out all capabilities in <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> form
|
|
<STRONG>-K</STRONG> modifies the <STRONG>-C</STRONG> option, improving BSD-compatibility.
|
|
|
|
If no <EM>termnames</EM> are given, the environment variable <STRONG>TERM</STRONG>
|
|
will be used for the terminal name.
|
|
|
|
The source produced by the <STRONG>-C</STRONG> option may be used directly
|
|
as a <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> entry, but not all parameterized strings can
|
|
be changed to the <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> format. <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> will attempt to
|
|
convert most of the parameterized information, and any-
|
|
thing not converted will be plainly marked in the output
|
|
and commented out. These should be edited by hand.
|
|
|
|
For best results when converting to <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> format, you
|
|
should use both <STRONG>-C</STRONG> and <STRONG>-r</STRONG>. Normally a termcap description
|
|
is limited to 1023 bytes. <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> trims away less essen-
|
|
tial parts to make it fit. If you are converting to one
|
|
of the (rare) termcap implementations which accept an
|
|
unlimited size of termcap, you may want to add the <STRONG>-T</STRONG>
|
|
option. More often however, you must help the termcap
|
|
implementation, and trim excess whitespace (use the <STRONG>-0</STRONG>
|
|
option for that).
|
|
|
|
All padding information for strings will be collected
|
|
together and placed at the beginning of the string where
|
|
<STRONG>termcap</STRONG> expects it. Mandatory padding (padding informa-
|
|
tion with a trailing '/') will become optional.
|
|
|
|
All <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> variables no longer supported by <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG>, but
|
|
which are derivable from other <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> variables, will be
|
|
output. Not all <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> capabilities will be translated;
|
|
only those variables which were part of <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> will nor-
|
|
mally be output. Specifying the <STRONG>-r</STRONG> option will take off
|
|
this restriction, allowing all capabilities to be output
|
|
in <EM>termcap</EM> form. Normally you would use both the <STRONG>-C</STRONG> and
|
|
<STRONG>-r</STRONG> options. The actual format used incorporates some
|
|
improvements for escaped characters from terminfo format.
|
|
For a stricter BSD-compatible translation, use the <STRONG>-K</STRONG>
|
|
option rather than <STRONG>-C</STRONG>.
|
|
|
|
Note that because padding is collected to the beginning of
|
|
the capability, not all capabilities are output. Manda-
|
|
tory padding is not supported. Because <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> strings
|
|
are not as flexible, it is not always possible to convert
|
|
a <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> string capability into an equivalent <STRONG>termcap</STRONG>
|
|
format. A subsequent conversion of the <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> file back
|
|
into <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> format will not necessarily reproduce the
|
|
original <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> source.
|
|
|
|
Some common <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> parameter sequences, their <STRONG>termcap</STRONG>
|
|
equivalents, and some terminal types which commonly have
|
|
such sequences, are:
|
|
|
|

|
|
The <STRONG>-u</STRONG> option produces a <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> source description of
|
|
the first terminal <EM>termname</EM> which is relative to the sum
|
|
of the descriptions given by the entries for the other
|
|
terminals <EM>termnames</EM>. It does this by analyzing the dif-
|
|
ferences between the first <EM>termname</EM> and the other
|
|
<EM>termnames</EM> and producing a description with <STRONG>use=</STRONG> fields for
|
|
the other terminals. In this manner, it is possible to
|
|
retrofit generic terminfo entries into a terminal's
|
|
description. Or, if two similar terminals exist, but were
|
|
coded at different times or by different people so that
|
|
each description is a full description, using <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> will
|
|
show what can be done to change one description to be rel-
|
|
ative to the other.
|
|
|
|
A capability will get printed with an at-sign (@) if it no
|
|
longer exists in the first <EM>termname</EM>, but one of the other
|
|
<EM>termname</EM> entries contains a value for it. A capability's
|
|
value gets printed if the value in the first <EM>termname</EM> is
|
|
not found in any of the other <EM>termname</EM> entries, or if the
|
|
first of the other <EM>termname</EM> entries that has this capabil-
|
|
ity gives a different value for the capability than that
|
|
in the first <EM>termname</EM>.
|
|
|
|
The order of the other <EM>termname</EM> entries is significant.
|
|
Since the terminfo compiler <STRONG>tic</STRONG> does a left-to-right scan
|
|
of the capabilities, specifying two <STRONG>use=</STRONG> entries that con-
|
|
tain differing entries for the same capabilities will pro-
|
|
duce different results depending on the order that the
|
|
entries are given in. <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> will flag any such incon-
|
|
sistencies between the other <EM>termname</EM> entries as they are
|
|
found.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, specifying a capability <EM>after</EM> a <STRONG>use=</STRONG> entry
|
|
that contains that capability will cause the second speci-
|
|
fication to be ignored. Using <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> to recreate a
|
|
description can be a useful check to make sure that every-
|
|
thing was specified correctly in the original source
|
|
description.
|
|
|
|
Another error that does not cause incorrect compiled
|
|
files, but will slow down the compilation time, is speci-
|
|
fying extra <STRONG>use=</STRONG> fields that are superfluous. <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG>
|
|
will flag any other <EM>termname</EM> <EM>use=</EM> fields that were not
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>Changing</STRONG> <STRONG>Databases</STRONG> <STRONG>[-A</STRONG> <EM>directory</EM>] [-B <EM>directory</EM>]
|
|
Like other <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> utilities, <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> looks for the termi-
|
|
nal descriptions in several places. You can use the <STRONG>TER-</STRONG>
|
|
<STRONG>MINFO</STRONG> and <STRONG>TERMINFO_DIRS</STRONG> environment variables to override
|
|
the compiled-in default list of places to search (see
|
|
<STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG> for details).
|
|
|
|
You can also use the options <STRONG>-A</STRONG> and <STRONG>-B</STRONG> to override the
|
|
list of places to search when comparing terminal descrip-
|
|
tions:
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>-A</STRONG> option sets the location for the first <EM>termname</EM>
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>-B</STRONG> option sets the location for the other
|
|
<EM>termnames</EM>.
|
|
|
|
Using these options, it is possible to compare descrip-
|
|
tions for a terminal with the same name located in two
|
|
different databases. For instance, you can use this fea-
|
|
ture for comparing descriptions for the same terminal cre-
|
|
ated by different people.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Other-Options">Other Options</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
<STRONG>-0</STRONG> causes the fields to be printed on one line, without
|
|
wrapping.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-1</STRONG> causes the fields to be printed out one to a line.
|
|
Otherwise, the fields will be printed several to a
|
|
line to a maximum width of 60 characters.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-a</STRONG> tells <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> to retain commented-out capabilities
|
|
rather than discarding them. Capabilities are com-
|
|
mented by prefixing them with a period.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-D</STRONG> tells <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> to print the database locations that it
|
|
knows about, and exit.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-E</STRONG> Dump the capabilities of the given terminal as
|
|
tables, needed in the C initializer for a TERMTYPE
|
|
structure (the terminal capability structure in the
|
|
<STRONG><term.h></STRONG>). This option is useful for preparing ver-
|
|
sions of the curses library hardwired for a given
|
|
terminal type. The tables are all declared static,
|
|
and are named according to the type and the name of
|
|
the corresponding terminal entry.
|
|
|
|
Before ncurses 5.0, the split between the <STRONG>-e</STRONG> and <STRONG>-E</STRONG>
|
|
options was not needed; but support for extended
|
|
names required making the arrays of terminal capabil-
|
|
ities separate from the TERMTYPE structure.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-e</STRONG> Dump the capabilities of the given terminal as a C
|
|
initializer for a TERMTYPE structure (the terminal
|
|
capability structure in the <STRONG><term.h></STRONG>). This option
|
|
is useful for preparing versions of the curses
|
|
library hardwired for a given terminal type.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-F</STRONG> compare terminfo files. This assumes that two fol-
|
|
lowing arguments are filenames. The files are
|
|
searched for pairwise matches between entries, with
|
|
two entries considered to match if any of their names
|
|
do. The report printed to standard output lists
|
|
entries with no matches in the other file, and
|
|
entries with more than one match. For entries with
|
|
exactly one match it includes a difference report.
|
|
Normally, to reduce the volume of the report, use
|
|
references are not resolved before looking for dif-
|
|
ferences, but resolution can be forced by also speci-
|
|
fying <STRONG>-r</STRONG>.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-f</STRONG> Display complex terminfo strings which contain
|
|
if/then/else/endif expressions indented for readabil-
|
|
ity.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-G</STRONG> Display constant literals in decimal form rather than
|
|
their character equivalents.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-g</STRONG> Display constant character literals in quoted form
|
|
rather than their decimal equivalents.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-i</STRONG> Analyze the initialization (<STRONG>is1</STRONG>, <STRONG>is2</STRONG>, <STRONG>is3</STRONG>), and reset
|
|
(<STRONG>rs1</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs2</STRONG>, <STRONG>rs3</STRONG>), strings in the entry, as well as
|
|
those used for starting/stopping cursor-positioning
|
|
mode (<STRONG>smcup</STRONG>, <STRONG>rmcup</STRONG>) as well as starting/stopping
|
|
keymap mode (<STRONG>smkx</STRONG>, <STRONG>rmkx</STRONG>).
|
|
|
|
For each string, the code tries to analyze it into
|
|
actions in terms of the other capabilities in the
|
|
entry, certain X3.64/ISO 6429/ECMA-48 capabilities,
|
|
and certain DEC VT-series private modes (the set of
|
|
recognized special sequences has been selected for
|
|
completeness over the existing terminfo database).
|
|
Each report line consists of the capability name,
|
|
followed by a colon and space, followed by a print-
|
|
able expansion of the capability string with sections
|
|
matching recognized actions translated into {}-brack-
|
|
eted descriptions.
|
|
|
|
Here is a list of the DEC/ANSI special sequences rec-
|
|
ognized:

It also recognizes a SGR action corresponding to
|
|
ANSI/ISO 6429/ECMA Set Graphics Rendition, with the
|
|
values NORMAL, BOLD, UNDERLINE, BLINK, and REVERSE.
|
|
All but NORMAL may be prefixed with `+' (turn on) or
|
|
`-' (turn off).
|
|
|
|
An SGR0 designates an empty highlight sequence
|
|
(equivalent to {SGR:NORMAL}).
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-l</STRONG> Set output format to terminfo.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-p</STRONG> Ignore padding specifications when comparing strings.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-Q</STRONG> <EM>n</EM> Rather than show source in terminfo (text) format,
|
|
print the compiled (binary) format in hexadecimal or
|
|
base64 form, depending on the option's value:
|
|
|
|
1 hexadecimal
|
|
|
|
2 base64
|
|
|
|
3 hexadecimal and base64
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-q</STRONG> This makes the output a little shorter:
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> Make the comparison listing shorter by omitting
|
|
subheadings, and using "-" for absent capabili-
|
|
ties, "@" for canceled rather than "NULL".
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> Omit the "Reconstructed from" comment for source
|
|
listings.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-R</STRONG><EM>subset</EM>
|
|
Restrict output to a given subset. This option is
|
|
for use with archaic versions of terminfo like those
|
|
on SVr1, Ultrix, or HP/UX that do not support the
|
|
full set of SVR4/XSI Curses terminfo; and variants
|
|
such as AIX that have their own extensions incompati-
|
|
ble with SVr4/XSI.
|
|
|
|
Available terminfo subsets are "SVr1", "Ultrix",
|
|
"HP", and "AIX"; see <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG> for details. You
|
|
can also choose the subset "BSD" which selects only
|
|
capabilities with termcap equivalents recognized by
|
|
4.4BSD.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-s</STRONG> <EM>[d|i|l|c]</EM>
|
|
The <STRONG>-s</STRONG> option sorts the fields within each type
|
|
according to the argument below:
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>d</STRONG> leave fields in the order that they are stored
|
|
in the <EM>terminfo</EM> database.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>i</STRONG> sort by <EM>terminfo</EM> name.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>l</STRONG> sort by the long C variable name.
|
|

<STRONG>c</STRONG> sort by the <EM>termcap</EM> name.
|
|
|
|
If the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> option is not given, the fields printed out
|
|
will be sorted alphabetically by the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> name
|
|
within each type, except in the case of the <STRONG>-C</STRONG> or the
|
|
<STRONG>-L</STRONG> options, which cause the sorting to be done by the
|
|
<STRONG>termcap</STRONG> name or the long C variable name, respec-
|
|
tively.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-T</STRONG> eliminates size-restrictions on the generated text.
|
|
This is mainly useful for testing and analysis, since
|
|
the compiled descriptions are limited (e.g., 1023 for
|
|
termcap, 4096 for terminfo).
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-t</STRONG> tells <STRONG>tic</STRONG> to discard commented-out capabilities.
|
|
Normally when translating from terminfo to termcap,
|
|
untranslatable capabilities are commented-out.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-U</STRONG> tells <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> to not post-process the data after
|
|
parsing the source file. This feature helps when
|
|
comparing the actual contents of two source files,
|
|
since it excludes the inferences that <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> makes
|
|
to fill in missing data.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-V</STRONG> reports the version of ncurses which was used in this
|
|
program, and exits.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-v</STRONG> <EM>n</EM> prints out tracing information on standard error as
|
|
the program runs. Higher values of n induce greater
|
|
verbosity.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-W</STRONG> By itself, the <STRONG>-w</STRONG> option will not force long strings
|
|
to be wrapped. Use the <STRONG>-W</STRONG> option to do this.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-w</STRONG> <EM>width</EM>
|
|
changes the output to <EM>width</EM> characters.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-x</STRONG> print information for user-defined capabilities.
|
|
These are extensions to the terminfo repertoire which
|
|
can be loaded using the <STRONG>-x</STRONG> option of <STRONG>tic</STRONG>.
