-<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
- term - format of compiled term file.
-

-</PRE>
-<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
- <STRONG>term</STRONG>
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- Compiled terminfo descriptions are placed under the direc-
- tory <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG>. In order to avoid a linear
- search of a huge UNIX system directory, a two-level scheme
- is used: <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo/c/name</STRONG> where <EM>name</EM> is the name
- of the terminal, and <EM>c</EM> is the first character of <EM>name</EM>.
- Thus, <EM>act4</EM> can be found in the file <STRONG>/usr/share/ter-</STRONG>
- <STRONG>minfo/a/act4</STRONG>. Synonyms for the same terminal are imple-
- mented 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 <EM>tic</EM> program, and
- read by the routine <EM>setupterm</EM>. 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 &lt;term.h&gt;.
-
- 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 $&lt;nn&gt; and parameter infor-
- mation %x are stored intact in uninterpreted form.
-
- The final section is the string table. It contains all
- the values of string capabilities referenced in the string
- section. Each string is null terminated.
-
- Note that it is possible for <EM>setupterm</EM> to expect a differ-
- ent set of capabilities than are actually present in the
- file. Either the database may have been updated since
- <EM>setupterm</EM> has been recompiled (resulting in extra unrecog-
- nized entries in the file) or the program may have been
- recompiled more recently than the database was updated
- (resulting in missing entries). The routine <EM>setupterm</EM>
- must be prepared for both possibilities - this is why the
- numbers and sizes are included. Also, new capabilities
- must always be added at the end of the lists of boolean,
- number, and string capabilities.
-
- Despite the consistent use of little-endian for numbers
- and the otherwise self-describing format, it is not wise
- to count on portability of binary terminfo entries between
- commercial UNIX versions. The problem is that there are
- at least three versions of terminfo (under HP-UX, AIX, and
- OSF/1) which diverged from System V terminfo after SVr1,
- and have added extension capabilities to the string table
- that (in the binary format) collide with System V and XSI
- Curses extensions. See <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG> for detailed discus-
- sion of terminfo source compatibility issues.
-
- As an example, here is a hex dump of the description for
- the Lear-Siegler ADM-3, a popular though rather stupid
- early terminal:
-
- adm3a|lsi adm3a,
- am,
- cols#80, lines#24,
- bel=^G, clear= 32$&lt;1&gt;, cr=^M, cub1=^H, cud1=^J,
- cuf1=^L, cup=\E=%p1%{32}%+%c%p2%{32}%+%c, cuu1=^K,
- home=^^, ind=^J,
