terminfo(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual terminfo(4) NAME terminfo - Describes terminals by capability DESCRIPTION A terminfo file is a database that describes the capabilities and method of operation of various terminals. The database includes defin- itions of initialization sequences, padding requirements, cursor posi- tioning, and other command sequences that control specific terminals. Before a terminfo source file can be used, it must be compiled using the tic command. The compiled terminfo entries are placed into subdi- rectories of the /usr/lib/terminfo directory. This directory may be redefined with the TERMINFO environment variable. See the EXAMPLES section for more information on using the TERMINFO environment vari- able. Each terminfo file entry consists of a number of fields separated by commas. Any white space between commas is ignored. The first field for each terminal supplies the names the terminal is known by, separated by vertical bars (|). The first name given is the most common abbrevia- tion for the terminal, the last name given is a long name fully identi- fying the terminal, and all others are synonyms for the terminal name. All names except the last are in lowercase and do not contain any white space. The fields following the terminal name supply the capabilities of the terminal. Although capability names have no absolute length limit, an informal limit of 5 characters is adopted to keep them short and to al- low the tabs in the source file caps to be aligned. Whenever possible, names are chosen to be the same as or similar to the ANSI X3.64 stan- dard of 1979. Terminal names (except the last) are chosen using the following conven- tions. A root name is chosen to represent the particular hardware class of the terminal. This name does not contain hyphens, except to avoid synonyms that conflict with other names. Possible modes for the hard- ware or user preferences are indicated by appending a - (hyphen) and one of the following suffixes: With automatic margins (usually default) Color mode Wide mode (more than 80 columns) Without automatic margins Number of lines on the screen No arrow keys (leave them in local) Num- ber of pages of memory Reverse video Thus, a vt100 terminal in 132-column mode would be vt100-w. Capabilities in the terminfo file are of three types: Boolean capabili- ties indicate that the terminal has some particular feature. Boolean capabilities are evaluated as true if the corresponding name is in the terminal description. Numeric capabilities give the size of the termi- nal or the size of particular delays. String capabilities give a se- quence that can be used to perform particular terminal operations. To continue an entry onto multiple lines, place white space at the be- ginning of each subsequent line. Include a comment on a line beginning with the # (number sign) character. To comment out an individual capa- bility, precede it with a . (dot). List of Capabilities The following table shows the C variable (which the programmer uses to access the terminfo capabilities), the capability name (the short name used in the text of the database), the 2-letter internal code used in the compiled database (always corresponding to a termcap capability name), and a short description of each capability. tab(@); lbw(1.25i) lbw(.4i) lbw(.3i) lbw(2.25i) lw(1.25i) lw(.4i) lw(.3i) lw(2.25i) . _ Boolean@Name@Code@Description _ auto_left_margin@bw@bw@Indicates cub1 wraps from column 0 @@@(zero) to last column. auto_right_margin@am@am@Indicates terminal has automatic @@@margins. back_color_erase@bce@be@Screen erased with background @@@color. beehive_glitch@xsb@xs@Indicates a terminal with F1=<esc> @@@and F2=<Ctrl-c>. can_change@ccc@cc@Terminal can re-define existing @@@color. ceol_standout_glitch@xhp@xs@Indicates standout not erased by @@@over- writing. col_addr_glitch@xhpa@YA@Only positive motion for hpa/mhpa @@@caps. cpi_changes_res@cpix@YF@Changing character pitch changes @@@resolution. cr_cancels_micro_mode@crxm@YB@Using a carriage return @@@turns off mi- cro mode. eat_newline_glitch@xenl@xn@Ignores newline character after @@@80 columns. erase_overstrike@eo@eo@Erases overstrikes with a @@@blank. generic_type@gn@gn@Indicates generic line type (such as @@@dialup, switch). hard_copy@hc@hc@Indicates hardcopy terminal. hard_cursor@chts@HC@Cursor is hard to see. has_meta_key@km@km@Indicates terminal has a meta key @@@(shift, sets parity bit). has_print_wheel@daisy@YC@Printer needs operator to change @@@character set. has_status_line@hs@hs@Indicates terminal has extra status @@@line. hue_lightness_saturation@hls@hl@Terminal uses only HLS color @@@nota- tion (Tektronix). insert_null_glitch@in@in@Indicates insert mode distinguishes @@@nulls. lpi_changes_res@lpix@YG@Changing line pitch changes @@@resolution. memory_above@da@da@Retains information above display in @@@memory. memory_below@db@db@Retains information below display in @@@memory. move_insert_mode@mir@mi@Indicates safe to move while in insert @@@mode. move_standout_mode@msgr@ms@Indicates safe to move in standout @@@mode. needs_xon_xoff@nxon@nx@Padding will not work, xon/xoff @@@required. non_rev_rmcup@nrrmc@NR@T{ smcup does not reverse rmcup.

EXAMPLES The following is an uncompiled terminfo entry for the xterm terminal type: xterm|vs100|xterm terminal emulator, ind=^J, cols#80, lines#25, clear=.nL cuf1=.nL cud=.nL cuf=.nL smso=.nL bold=.nL rs1=>.nL kf1=, kf2=, kf3=, kf4=, ht=^I, ri= vt@, xon@, csr= il=.nL ich=.nL use=vt100-am, The first line of the xterm entry contains two names for the terminal type (xterm and vs100), and a third name that fully describes the ter- minal. When the terminfo entry is compiled with the tic command, en- tries are made in /usr/lib/terminfo/x/xterm and /usr/lib/ter- minfo/v/vs100, unless the TERMINFO environment variable was used to re- define the default path. The TERMINFO environment variable is useful when testing a new entry, or when you do not have write permission for the /usr/lib/terminfo directory tree. For example, if the TERMINFO en- vironment variable is set to /usr/raj/test, the tic command places the compiled terminfo entries into /usr/raj/test/x/xterm and /usr/raj/test/v/vs100. The TERMINFO environment variable is also ref- erenced by programs that use terminfo (such as vi), so the new entry can be tested right away. The second line of the xterm entry says that pressing a Ctrl-j causes the screen to scroll up, and that the screen dimensions are 80 columns by 24 lines. The third line of the entry sets the string that clears the screen (ES- CAPE followed by "[H", another ESCAPE, and then the string "[2J"), de- fines <Ctrl-h> as the backspace key, and declares that the terminal has automatic margins. The string for relative cursor movement is also specified, using terminfo parameter syntax. The rest of the capabilities are declared likewise. The last line of the entry reads "use=vt100-am"", meaning that the vt100-am terminal en- try should be read first as the basis for the xterm terminal entry, with the capabilities explicitly defined overriding their default vt100-am values. Note that the smul, rmul, vt, and xon capabilities are removed by following them with an @ (at sign). RELATED INFORMATION Functions: curses(3) Commands: tic(1) J. Strang, L. Mui, and T. O'Reilly.
