- This command will output on its standard output two shell
- commands, which will set the TERM and TERMCAP enivornment
- variables to contain correct information for the ttxx window
- attached to /dev/tty. For this command to work properly,
- the controlling terminal for the process (/dev/tty) must be
- attached to a ttxx window; ttxxiinnffoo outputs ttxx commands to the
- window and reads back information supplied by ttxx.
-
- This command is particularly useful in .login files on
- machines that do not have ``tx'' entries in their termcap
- files (and right now there are no machines with "tx" termcap
- entries), so that you can rlogin from your workstation and
- get the TERM and TERMCAP environment variables defined. For
- example, you might include the following shell commands in
- your .login files:
-
-
- if ( $TERM == tx ) then
- set noglob
- eval `txinfo`
- unset noglob
- endif
-
- The nnoogglloobb variable must be unset while processing the the
- TERMCAP entry because it contains special characters like [[,
- which will confuse the shell unless nnoogglloobb is set.
