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 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 neither entry.

These should be edited by hand. - - 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. - - 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: - - <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> Representative Terminals - --------------------------------------------------------------- - <STRONG>%p1%c</STRONG> <STRONG>%.</STRONG> adm - <STRONG>%p1%d</STRONG> <STRONG>%d</STRONG> hp, ANSI standard, vt100 - <STRONG>%p1%'x'%+%c</STRONG> <STRONG>%+x</STRONG> concept - <STRONG>%i</STRONG> <STRONG>%i</STRONG>q ANSI standard, vt100 - <STRONG>%p1%?%'x'%>%t%p1%'y'%+%;</STRONG> <STRONG>%>xy</STRONG> concept - <STRONG>%p2</STRONG> is printed before <STRONG>%p1</STRONG> <STRONG>%r</STRONG> hp - - <STRONG>Use=</STRONG> <STRONG>Option</STRONG> <STRONG>[-u]</STRONG> - 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 - differences 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>] - The location of the compiled <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> database is taken - from the environment variable <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> . If the variable - is not defined, or the terminal is not found in that loca- - tion, the system <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> database, in <STRONG>/usr/share/ter-</STRONG> - <STRONG>minfo</STRONG>, will be used. The options <STRONG>-A</STRONG> and <STRONG>-B</STRONG> may be used to - override this location. The <STRONG>-A</STRONG> option will set <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> - for the first <EM>termname</EM> and the <STRONG>-B</STRONG> option will set <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> - for the other <EM>termnames</EM>. With this, it is possible to - compare descriptions for a terminal with the same name - located in two different databases. This is useful for - comparing descriptions for the same terminal created by - different people. - - <STRONG>Other</STRONG> <STRONG>Options</STRONG> - <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>-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. 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 spe- - cial 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 printable expansion of - the capability string with sections matching recog- - nized actions translated into {}-bracketed descrip- - tions. Here is a list of the DEC/ANSI special - sequences recognized: - - Action Meaning - ----------------------------------------- - RIS full reset - SC save cursor - RC restore cursor - LL home-down - RSR reset scroll region - - ISO DEC G0 enable DEC graphics for G0 - ISO UK G0 enable UK chars for G0 - ISO US G0 enable US chars for G0 - ISO DEC G1 enable DEC graphics for G1 - ISO UK G1 enable UK chars for G1 - ISO US G1 enable US chars for G1 - - DECPAM application keypad mode - DECPNM normal keypad mode - DECANSI enter ANSI mode - - DEC[+-]CKM application cursor keys - DEC[+-]ANM set VT52 mode - DEC[+-]COLM 132-column mode - DEC[+-]SCLM smooth scroll - DEC[+-]SCNM reverse video mode - DEC[+-]OM origin mode - DEC[+-]AWM wraparound mode - DEC[+-]ARM auto-repeat mode - - 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}). - - - l Set output format to terminfo. - - <STRONG>-p</STRONG> Ignore padding specifications when comparing strings. - - <STRONG>-q</STRONG> Make the comparison listing shorter by omitting sub- - headings, and using "-" for absent capabilities, "@" - for canceled rather than "NULL". - - <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 equiva- - lents 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>-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> <EM>width</EM> - changes the output to <EM>width</EM> characters. - - -</PRE> -<H2>FILES</H2><PRE> - /usr/share/terminfo Compiled terminal description - database. - - -</PRE> -<H2>EXTENSIONS</H2><PRE> - The <STRONG>-E</STRONG>, <STRONG>-F</STRONG>, <STRONG>-G</STRONG>, <STRONG>-R</STRONG>, <STRONG>-T</STRONG>, <STRONG>-V</STRONG>, <STRONG>-a</STRONG>, <STRONG>-e</STRONG>, <STRONG>-f</STRONG>, <STRONG>-g</STRONG>, <STRONG>-i</STRONG>, <STRONG>-l</STRONG>, <STRONG>-p</STRONG>, <STRONG>-q</STRONG> - and <STRONG>-t</STRONG> options are not supported in SVr4 curses. - - The <STRONG>-r</STRONG> option's notion of `termcap' capabilities is System - V Release 4's.
