In all cases, the boolean fields will be printed first, followed by the numeric fields, followed by the string fields. DDDDeeeeffffaaaauuuulllltttt OOOOppppttttiiiioooonnnnssss If no options are specified and zero or one _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e_s are specified, the ----IIII option will be assumed.

CCCCoooommmmppppaaaarrrriiiissssoooonnnn OOOOppppttttiiiioooonnnnssss [[[[----dddd]]]] [[[[----cccc]]]] [[[[----nnnn]]]] iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp compares the tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo description of the first terminal _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e with each of the descriptions given by the entries for the other terminal's _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e_s. If a capability is defined for only one of the terminals, the value returned will depend on the type of the capability: FFFF for boolean variables, ----1111 for integer variables, and NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL for string variables. The ----dddd option produces a list of each capability that is different between two entries. This option is useful to show the difference between two entries, created by different people, for the same or similar terminals. The ----cccc option produces a list of each capability that is common between two entries. Capabilities that are not set are ignored. This option can be used as a quick check to see if the ----uuuu option is worth using. The ----nnnn option produces a list of each capability that is in neither entry. If no _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e_s are given, the environment variable TTTTEEEERRRRMMMM will be used for both of the _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e_s. This can be used as a quick check to see if anything was left out of a description.

The source produced by the ----CCCC option may be used directly as a tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp entry, but not all parameterized strings can be changed to the tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp format. iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp will attempt to convert most of the parameterized information, and anything not converted will be plainly marked in the output and commented out. These should be edited by hand. All padding information for strings will be collected together and placed at the beginning of the string where tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp expects it. Mandatory padding (padding information with a trailing '/') will become optional. All tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp variables no longer supported by tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo, but which are derivable from other tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo variables, will be output. Not all tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo capabilities will be translated; only those variables which were part of tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp will normally be output. Specifying the ----rrrr option will take off this restriction, allowing all capabilities to be output in _t_e_r_m_c_a_p form. Note that because padding is collected to the beginning of the capability, not all capabilities are output. Mandatory padding is not supported. Because tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp strings are not as flexible, it is not always possible to convert a tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo string capability into an equivalent tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp format. A subsequent conversion of the tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp file back into tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo format will not necessarily reproduce the original tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo source. Some common tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo parameter sequences, their tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp equivalents, and some terminal types which commonly have such sequences, are: tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp Representative Terminals ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ %%%%pppp1111%%%%cccc %%%%.... adm %%%%pppp1111%%%%dddd %%%%dddd hp, ANSI standard, vt100 %%%%pppp1111%%%%''''xxxx''''%%%%++++%%%%cccc %%%%++++xxxx concept %%%%iiii %%%%iiiiq ANSI standard, vt100 %%%%pppp1111%%%%????%%%%''''xxxx''''%%%%>>>>%%%%tttt%%%%pppp1111%%%%''''yyyy''''%%%%++++%%%%;;;; %%%%>>>>xxxxyyyy concept %%%%pppp2222 is printed before %%%%pppp1111 %%%%rrrr hp UUUUsssseeee==== OOOOppppttttiiiioooonnnn [[[[----uuuu]]]] The ----uuuu option produces a tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo source description of the first terminal _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e which is relative to the sum of the Page 2 (printed 5/12/99) iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp((((1111MMMM)))) UUUUNNNNIIIIXXXX SSSSyyyysssstttteeeemmmm VVVV iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp((((1111MMMM)))) descriptions given by the entries for the other terminals _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e_s. It does this by analyzing the differences between the first _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e and the other _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e_s and producing a description with uuuusssseeee==== 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 iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp will show what can be done to change one description to be relative to the other. A capability will get printed with an at-sign (@) if it no longer exists in the first _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e, but one of the other _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e entries contains a value for it. A capability's value gets printed if the value in the first _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e is not found in any of the other _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e entries, or if the first of the other _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e entries that has this capability gives a different value for the capability than that in the first _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e. The order of the other _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e entries is significant. Since the terminfo compiler ttttiiiicccc does a left-to-right scan of the capabilities, specifying two uuuusssseeee==== entries that contain differing entries for the same capabilities will produce different results depending on the order that the entries are given in. iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp will flag any such inconsistencies between the other _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e entries as they are found. Alternatively, specifying a capability _a_f_t_e_r a uuuusssseeee==== entry that contains that capability will cause the second specification to be ignored. Using iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp to recreate a description can be a useful check to make sure that everything 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 specifying extra uuuusssseeee==== fields that are superfluous. iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp will flag any other _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e _u_s_e= fields that were not needed. OOOOtttthhhheeeerrrr OOOOppppttttiiiioooonnnnssss [[[[----ssss dddd||||iiii||||llll||||cccc]]]] [[[[----vvvv]]]] [[[[----VVVV]]]] The ----ssss option sorts the fields within each type according to the argument below: dddd leave fields in the order that they are stored in the _t_e_r_m_i_n_f_o database. iiii sort by _t_e_r_m_i_n_f_o name. llll sort by the long C variable name. Page 3 (printed 5/12/99) iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp((((1111MMMM)))) UUUUNNNNIIIIXXXX SSSSyyyysssstttteeeemmmm VVVV iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp((((1111MMMM)))) cccc sort by the _t_e_r_m_c_a_p name. If the ----ssss option is not given, the fields printed out will be sorted alphabetically by the tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo name within each type, except in the case of the ----CCCC or the ----LLLL options, which cause the sorting to be done by the tttteeeerrrrmmmmccccaaaapppp name or the long C variable name, respectively. ----FFFF compare terminfo files. This assumes that two following 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. ----pppp Ignore padding specifications when comparing strings. ----vvvv _n prints out tracing information on standard error as the program runs. Higher values of n induce greater verbosity. ----VVVV prints out the version of the program in use on standard error and exits. ----1111 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. ----TTTT 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). ----wwww changes the output to _w_i_d_t_h characters. ----RRRR_s_u_b_s_e_t 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 don't support the full set of SVR4/XSI Curses terminfo; and outright broken ports like AIX that have their own extensions incompatible with SVr4/XSI. Available terminfo subsets are "SVr1", "Ultrix", "HP", and "AIX"; see tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo(5) for details. You can also choose the subset "BSD" which selects only capabilities with termcap equivalents recognized by 4.4BSD. ----eeee Dump the capabilities of the given terminal as a C initializer for a TERMTYPE structure (the terminal Page 4 (printed 5/12/99) iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp((((1111MMMM)))) UUUUNNNNIIIIXXXX SSSSyyyysssstttteeeemmmm VVVV iiiinnnnffffooooccccmmmmpppp((((1111MMMM)))) capability structure in the <<<<tttteeeerrrrmmmm....hhhh>>>>). This option is useful for preparing versions of the curses library hardwired for a given terminal type.

If the variable is not defined, or the terminal is not found in that location, the system tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo database, in @@@@DDDDAAAATTTTAAAADDDDIIIIRRRR@@@@////tttteeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnffffoooo, will be used. The options ----AAAA and ----BBBB may be used to override this location. The ----AAAA option will set TTTTEEEERRRRMMMMIIIINNNNFFFFOOOO for the first _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e and the ----BBBB option will set TTTTEEEERRRRMMMMIIIINNNNFFFFOOOO for the other _t_e_r_m_n_a_m_e_s. 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. ----iiii Analyze the initialization (iiiissss1111, iiiissss2222, iiiissss3333), and reset (rrrrssss1111, rrrrssss2222, rrrrssss3333), 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 special 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 recognized actions translated into {}-bracketed descriptions.
