In order to avoid a linear - search of a huge UNIX system directory, a two-level scheme - is used: <B>/c/name</B> where <I>name</I> is the name of the terminal, - and <I>c</I> is the first character of <I>name</I>. Thus, <I>act4</I> can be - found in the file <B>/usr/share/terminfo/a/act4</B>. Synonyms - for the same terminal are implemented by multiple links to - the same compiled file. - - The format has been chosen so that it will be the same on - all hardware. An 8 or more bit byte is assumed, but no - assumptions about byte ordering or sign extension are - made. - - The compiled file is created with the <I>tic</I> program, and - read by the routine <I>setupterm</I>. The file is divided into - six parts: the header, terminal names, boolean flags, num- - bers, strings, and string table. - - The header section begins the file. This section contains - six short integers in the format described below. These - integers are (1) the magic number (octal 0432); (2) the - size, in bytes, of the names section; (3) the number of - bytes in the boolean section; (4) the number of short - integers in the numbers section; (5) the number of offsets - (short integers) in the strings section; (6) the size, in - bytes, of the string table. - - Short integers are stored in two 8-bit bytes. The first - byte contains the least significant 8 bits of the value, - and the second byte contains the most significant 8 bits. - (Thus, the value represented is 256*second+first.) The - value -1 is represented by the two bytes 0377, 0377; other - negative values are illegal. This value generally means - that the corresponding capability is missing from this - terminal. Note that this format corresponds to the hard- - ware of the VAX and PDP-11 (that is, little-endian - machines). Machines where this does not correspond to the - hardware must read the integers as two bytes and compute - the little-endian value. - - The terminal names section comes next. It contains the - first line of the terminfo description, listing the vari- - ous names for the terminal, separated by the `|' charac- - ter. The section is terminated with an ASCII NUL charac- - ter. - - The boolean flags have one byte for each flag. This byte - is either 0 or 1 as the flag is present or absent. The - capabilities are in the same order as the file <term.h>. - - Between the boolean section and the number section, a null - byte will be inserted, if necessary, to ensure that the - number section begins on an even byte (this is a relic of - the PDP-11's word-addressed architecture, originally - designed in to avoid IOT traps induced by addressing a - word on an odd byte boundary). All short integers are - aligned on a short word boundary. - - The numbers section is similar to the flags section. Each - capability takes up two bytes, and is stored as a little- - endian short integer. If the value represented is -1, the - capability is taken to be missing. - - The strings section is also similar. Each capability is - stored as a short integer, in the format above. A value - of -1 means the capability is missing. Otherwise, the - value is taken as an offset from the beginning of the - string table. Special characters in ^X or \c notation are - stored in their interpreted form, not the printing repre- - sentation. Padding information $<nn> and parameter infor- - mation %x are stored intact in uninterpreted form. - - The final section is the string table. It contains all - the values of string capabilities referenced in the string - section. Each string is null terminated. - - Note that it is possible for <I>setupterm</I> to expect a differ- - ent set of capabilities than are actually present in the - file. Either the database may have been updated since - <I>setupterm</I> has been recompiled (resulting in extra unrecog- - nized entries in the file) or the program may have been - recompiled more recently than the database was updated - (resulting in missing entries). The routine <I>setupterm</I> - must be prepared for both possibilities - this is why the - numbers and sizes are included. Also, new capabilities - must always be added at the end of the lists of boolean, - number, and string capabilities. - - Despite the consistent use of little-endian for numbers - and the otherwise self-describing format, it is not wise - to count on portability of binary terminfo entries between - commercial UNIX versions. The problem is that there are - at least three versions of terminfo (under HP-UX, AIX, and - OSF/1) which diverged from System V terminfo after SVr1, - and have added extension capabilities to the string table - that (in the binary format) collide with System V and XSI - Curses extensions. See <B><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></B> for detailed discus- - sion of terminfo source compatibility issues. - - As an example, here is a hex dump of the description for - the Lear-Siegler ADM-3, a popular though rather stupid - early terminal: - - adm3a|lsi adm3a, - am, - cols#80, lines#24, - bel=^G, clear= 32$<1>, cr=^M, cub1=^H, cud1=^J, - cuf1=^L, cup==%p1%{32}%+%c%p2%{32}%+%c, cuu1=^K, - home=^^, ind=^J, - - 0000 1a 01 10 00 02 00 03 00 82 00 31 00 61 64 6d 33 ........ ..1.adm3 - 0010 61 7c 6c 73 69 20 61 64 6d 33 61 00 00 01 50 00 a|lsi ad m3a...P. - 0020 ff ff 18 00 ff ff 00 00 02 00 ff ff ff ff 04 00 ........ ........ - 0030 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0a 00 25 00 27 00 ff ff ........ ..%.'... - 0040 29 00 ff ff ff ff 2b 00 ff ff 2d 00 ff ff ff ff ).....+. ..-..... - 0050 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 0060 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 0070 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 0080 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 0090 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 00a0 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 00b0 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 00c0 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 00d0 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 00e0 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 00f0 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 0100 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 0110 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ........ ........ - 0120 ff ff ff ff ff ff 2f 00 07 00 0d 00 1a 24 3c 31 ....../. .....$<1 - 0130 3e 00 1b 3d 25 70 31 25 7b 33 32 7d 25 2b 25 63 >..=%p1% {32}%+%c - 0140 25 70 32 25 7b 33 32 7d 25 2b 25 63 00 0a 00 1e %p2%{32} %+%c.... - 0150 00 08 00 0c 00 0b 00 0a 00 ........ . - - - Some limitations: total compiled entries cannot exceed - 4096 bytes.
