G'day all!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is something that I wrote a little while ago (with some more
|
|
|
|
|
recent changes) for someone who asked me how to set up a
|
|
|
|
|
customised TERMINFO and TERMCAP entry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've never seen this in any FAQ, and I thought that others might
|
|
|
|
|
be interested in this too, so I've posted it. It took me *ages*
|
|
|
|
|
and lots of trial and error to figure out how to do this
|
|
|
|
|
properly, but the process is actually quite simple once you have
|
|
|
|
|
the man pages figured out :)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I would appreciate any comments, corrections or suggestions to
|
|
|
|
|
this... I'm posting it here into comp.terminals as a "beta"
|
|
|
|
|
document as I'm sure that this could be refined some more.

I presume that you understand the basics of ansi and vt-term
|
|
|
|
|
escape sequences.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I use a customised vt220 term to get colours instead of boring
|
|
|
|
|
black and white text on my pc screen when I'm logged into my
|
|
|
|
|
account over a modem. My comms program is emulating vt100/220
|
|
|
|
|
with my screen in 50 line mode (49 lines + one for my comms
|
|
|
|
|
program's status line).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The system here with my account is a Sparc running Solaris 2.3,
|
|
|
|
|
SunOS 5.3 - but this also works under SGI IRIX and SunOS 4.3.1
|
|
|
|
|
(remote vt-term login). I use tcsh as my default login shell
|
|
|
|
|
(I'll eventually try out ksh once I have some time :-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is my customised termcap entry, produced by the "infocmp -1"
|
|
|
|
|
command...

For the explaination of what all this means, see "man terminfo";
|
|
|
|
|
also try "man termcap", but this man page is often not there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's set for a default of 49 lines, but if you only use 24 then
|
|
|
|
|
change it in the entry, but I'll explain how to easily reset it
|
|
|
|
|
manually with some aliases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise edit this however you like. You'll recognise all the
|
|
|
|
|
"ansi" escape sequences up there. Customise the colour ones as
|
|
|
|
|
desired, but after trial and error I've found these to be quite
|
|
|
|
|
acceptable. Some of the entries might need some more refining,
|
|
|
|
|
but this works. Bold, underline, reverse and norm are all in
|
|
|
|
|
colour. I've thought about adding an entry for italic (sitm and
|
|
|
|
|
ritm), but I haven't got around to this yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've called this "vt220", but it really isn't (although
|
|
|
|
|
compatable). I've found it better to use a "common" name rather
|
|
|
|
|
than an unusual one, or else I tend to get "unknown term type,
|
|
|
|
|
using dumb terminal settings" complaints when I rlogin or telnet
|
|
|
|
|
into other accounts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vt220 is defined in /etc/termcap here as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
de|vt220|DEC VT220 in vt100 emulation mode:\
|
|
|
|
|
:tc=vt100:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
so vt220 actually uses vt100 anyway. They are similar, but vt220
|
|
|
|
|
defines more of the F (function) keys. Other differences are
|
|
|
|
|
trivial (and I haven't noticed many from what I've been able to
|
|
|
|
|
ascertain from a scattering of "non-authoritative" sources).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a ~/.terminfo/ directory, and save this terminfo entry in
|
|
|
|
|
a file called ~/.terminfo/terminfo.src
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now change to this directory and append the other terminal
|
|
|
|
|
entries that you might use onto the end of this file (except for
|
|
|
|
|
vt220):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% echo $term
|
|
|
|
|
% infocmp >> terminfo.src
|
|
|
|
|
% infocmp vt100 >> terminfo.src
|
|
|
|
|
% infocmp xterm >> terminfo.src
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
etc. Check it's general format what you find in /etc/termcap to
|
|
|
|
|
make sure that it's similar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now do this (in the ~/.terminfo/ directory):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% setenv TERMINFO ~/.terminfo
|
|
|
|
|
% tic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After running tic (it uses the terminfo.src file), you should see
|
|
|
|
|
a new directory called ~/.terminfo/v/ (and perhaps others) which
|
|
|
|
|
has the termcap entries compiled from the terminfo.src file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, do this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% set term=vt220
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You *should* immediately see a change in colour of normally white
|
|
|
|
|
(or grey) text to a light bright blue (see "norm=" above). If
|
|
|
|
|
you have tcsh as your shell, then try the prompts below to see
|
|
|
|
|
some nice bold and reverse colour. Man pages should now also
|
|
|
|
|
demostrate this too (especially if you have setenv PAGER "less -s
|
|
|
|
|
-I"). Nice change, eh? :-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, now to make this change permanent...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cut this shell script out, save it in ~/.terminfo/maketc and
|
|
|
|
|
"chmod +x maketc" to make it executable:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

#!/bin/sh

#

|
# Make a TERMCAP entry

|
|
|
# Use:

# setenv TERMCAP `maketc [termtype]`
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|

infocmp -C $1 | \
|
|
|
|
|
sed -e '/^#/d' -e '3,$s/[ ]//g' -e 's/:\\$//' | \
|
|
|
|
|
awk '{printf("%s",$0)}'
|
|
|
|
|
echo ""
|
|
|
|
|
# NB: that's a Tab and a space in between the []'s!
|
|
|
|
|
# Is there a way to get sed to strip out newlines?
|
|
|
|
|
========8<-----------cut-here------------>8====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now try this (using this new term setting):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% maketc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ugly, yes? :)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a ~/.terminfo/TERMCAP.vt220 file by redirecting this output:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% maketc vt220 > TERMCAP.vt220
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(alternatively, use " setenv TERMCAP `cat ~/.terminfo/maketc` "
|
|
|
|
|
below instead).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Put the following lines in your ~/.login file, or into another
|
|
|
|
|
file (say, ~/.termrc) and source it from ~/.login...

It's a bit overdone, but it will show you what's going on.
|
|
|
|
|
Warnings.... on some unix'es, stty does not have "rows" or
|
|
|
|
|
"columns" options. And if you ever use those global variables
|
|
|
|
|
for anything, enclose the variables in quotes like I have above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next time you log in (with csh or tcsh), ~/.login is sourced
|
|
|
|
|
(after ~/.cshrc) and you will automatically have this customised
|
|
|
|
|
colour terminal enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make switching term very easy, I use a few aliases. I have
|
|
|
|
|
the following in a ~/.alias file that I source from ~/.cshrc...

The vtn alias has been piped through cat -v to make the control
|
|
|
|
|
codes look like their two-character representation. Edit the
|
|
|
|
|
echo'ed string so that the ^[ characters are real escape
|
|
|
|
|
characters and ^O is a control-O. Or comment out that line and
|
|
|
|
|
use the one below it that uses the tr command. This alias is
|
|
|
|
|
very, VERY handy for resetting a vt100 style screen if it gets
|
|
|
|
|
screwed up with an accidental character set sequence (see any
|
|
|
|
|
vt100 term escape code reference).

If you want to see some interesting colourful prompts and you use
|
|
|
|
|
tcsh, then try sourcing this:

Note how the red colour is manually put into prompt3. It's
|
|
|
|
|
possible to put colour sequences into the prompts of all the
|
|
|
|
|
common shells (check its man page).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more info check out:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The man pages for:
|
|
|
|
|
terminfo, (termcap), stty, tput, infocmp, captoinfo, tic
|
|
|
|
|
(and the man pages in the "see also" sections).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The file /etc/termcap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. The comp.terminals ftp archive site:
|
|
|
|
|
cs.utk.edu :: /pub/shuford/terminal/
|
|
|
|
|
You should be able to find at least one file there that
|
|
|
|
|
explains all the vt100 control sequences.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. I've got a file with the vt102 and ansi escape sequences in it.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want a copy, just let me know.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. I've never seen it, but for a color xterm check this out:
|
|
|
|
|
X11R5 and X11R6 versions:
|
|
|
|
|
ftp.x.org /R5contrib/color_xterm.tar.Z
|
|
|
|
|
ftp.x.org /contrib/utilities/color-xterm-R6-patch.README
|
|
|
|
|
ftp.x.org /contrib/utilities/color-xterm-R6pl5-patch.gz
|
|
|
