- untic -- Decompile a "terminfo" terminal description file for System V.
-
- I wrote the following program, "untic", because I needed to make a terminal
- description file which was just slightly different from one of the existing
- terminal descriptions.
-
- This program looks up the description directly from the compiled description
- file. Thus it produces a file, which when compiled, generated exactly the
- same information as was in the original file.
-
- This "shar" file contains the following files:
- README This file
- untic.1 A (very simple) manual page
- Makefile A (very simple) make file
- untic.c The program
- untic.tst A simple test script to compare against "infocmp"
-
- This was written long ago, before "infocmp" was available. This was
- published in volume 5 of comp.sources.unix in May of 1986. At the request
- of Joe Wasik from the Unix/C Reusable Code Library, I have updated this
- program to a more modern version of System V. Evidentally, not all sites
- which have the terminfo terminal descriptions have "infocmp".
-
- If "infocmp" is available at your site, then this program is of no real use;
- infocmp does all this does, plus a whole lot more.
