This determination - is done as follows, using the first terminal type found. - - 1. The <STRONG>terminal</STRONG> argument specified on the command line. - - 2. The value of the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> environmental variable. - - 3. (BSD systems only.) The terminal type associated with - the standard error output device in the <EM>/etc/ttys</EM> file. - (On System-V-like UNIXes and systems using that conven- - tion, <EM>getty</EM> does this job by setting <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> according to the - type passed to it by <EM>/etc/inittab</EM>.) - - 4. The default terminal type, ``unknown''. - - If the terminal type was not specified on the command- - line, the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option mappings are then applied (see the - section <STRONG>TERMINAL</STRONG> <STRONG>TYPE</STRONG> <STRONG>MAPPING</STRONG> for more information). - Then, if the terminal type begins with a question mark - (``?''), the user is prompted for confirmation of the ter- - minal type. An empty response confirms the type, or, - another type can be entered to specify a new type. Once - the terminal type has been determined, the terminfo entry - for the terminal is retrieved. If no terminfo entry is - found for the type, the user is prompted for another ter- - minal type. - - Once the terminfo entry is retrieved, the window size, - backspace, interrupt and line kill characters (among many - other things) are set and the terminal and tab initializa- - tion strings are sent to the standard error output. - Finally, if the erase, interrupt and line kill characters - have changed, or are not set to their default values, - their values are displayed to the standard error output. - Use the <STRONG>-c</STRONG> or <STRONG>-w</STRONG> option to select only the window sizing - versus the other initialization. If neither option is - given, both are assumed. - - When invoked as <STRONG>reset</STRONG>, <STRONG>tset</STRONG> sets cooked and echo modes, - turns off cbreak and raw modes, turns on newline transla- - tion and resets any unset special characters to their - default values before doing the terminal initialization - described above. This is useful after a program dies - leaving a terminal in an abnormal state. Note, you may - have to type - - <STRONG><LF>reset<LF></STRONG> - - (the line-feed character is normally control-J) to get the - terminal to work, as carriage-return may no longer work in - the abnormal state. Also, the terminal will often not - echo the command. - - The options are as follows: - - <STRONG>-c</STRONG> Set control characters and modes. <STRONG>-e</STRONG> Set the erase - character to <EM>ch</EM>. - - <STRONG>-I</STRONG> Do not send the terminal or tab initialization - strings to the terminal. - - <STRONG>-i</STRONG> Set the interrupt character to <EM>ch</EM>. - - <STRONG>-k</STRONG> Set the line kill character to <EM>ch</EM>. - - <STRONG>-m</STRONG> Specify a mapping from a port type to a terminal. - See the section <STRONG>TERMINAL</STRONG> <STRONG>TYPE</STRONG> <STRONG>MAPPING</STRONG> for more infor- - mation. - - <STRONG>-Q</STRONG> Do not display any values for the erase, interrupt - and line kill characters. Normally <STRONG>tset</STRONG> displays the - values for control characters which differ from the - system's default values. - - <STRONG>-q</STRONG> The terminal type is displayed to the standard out- - put, and the terminal is not initialized in any way. - The option `-' by itself is equivalent but archaic. - - <STRONG>-r</STRONG> Print the terminal type to the standard error output. - - <STRONG>-s</STRONG> Print the sequence of shell commands to initialize - the environment variable <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> to the standard output. - See the section <STRONG>SETTING</STRONG> <STRONG>THE</STRONG> <STRONG>ENVIRONMENT</STRONG> for details. - - <STRONG>-V</STRONG> reports the version of ncurses which was used in this - program, and exits. - - <STRONG>-w</STRONG> Resize the window to match the size deduced via - <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG>. Normally this has no effect, unless - <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> is not able to detect the window size. - - The arguments for the <STRONG>-e</STRONG>, <STRONG>-i</STRONG>, and <STRONG>-k</STRONG> options may either be - entered as actual characters or by using the `hat' nota- - tion, i.e., control-h may be specified as ``^H'' or - ``^h''. - - -</PRE> -<H2>SETTING THE ENVIRONMENT</H2><PRE> - It is often desirable to enter the terminal type and - information about the terminal's capabilities into the - shell's environment. This is done using the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> option. - - When the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> option is specified, the commands to enter the - information into the shell's environment are written to - the standard output. If the <STRONG>SHELL</STRONG> environmental variable - ends in ``csh'', the commands are for <STRONG>csh</STRONG>, otherwise, they - are for <STRONG>sh</STRONG>. Note, the <STRONG>csh</STRONG> commands set and unset the - shell variable <STRONG>noglob</STRONG>, leaving it unset. The following - line in the <STRONG>.login</STRONG> or <STRONG>.profile</STRONG> files will initialize the - environment correctly: - - eval `tset -s options ... ` - - -</PRE> -<H2>TERMINAL TYPE MAPPING</H2><PRE> - When the terminal is not hardwired into the system (or the - current system information is incorrect) the terminal type - derived from the <EM>/etc/ttys</EM> file or the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> environmental - variable is often something generic like <STRONG>network</STRONG>, <STRONG>dialup</STRONG>, - or <STRONG>unknown</STRONG>. When <STRONG>tset</STRONG> is used in a startup script it is - often desirable to provide information about the type of - terminal used on such ports. - - The purpose of the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option is to map from some set of - conditions to a terminal type, that is, to tell <STRONG>tset</STRONG> ``If - I'm on this port at a particular speed, guess that I'm on - that kind of terminal''. - - The argument to the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option consists of an optional port - type, an optional operator, an optional baud rate specifi- - cation, an optional colon (``:'') character and a terminal - type. The port type is a string (delimited by either the - operator or the colon character). The operator may be any - combination of ``>'', ``<'', ``@'', and ``!''; ``>'' means - greater than, ``<'' means less than, ``@'' means equal to - and ``!'' inverts the sense of the test. The baud rate is - specified as a number and is compared with the speed of - the standard error output (which should be the control - terminal). The terminal type is a string. - - If the terminal type is not specified on the command line, - the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> mappings are applied to the terminal type. If the - port type and baud rate match the mapping, the terminal - type specified in the mapping replaces the current type. - If more than one mapping is specified, the first applica- - ble mapping is used. - - For example, consider the following mapping: - <STRONG>dialup>9600:vt100</STRONG>. The port type is dialup , the operator - is >, the baud rate specification is 9600, and the termi- - nal type is vt100. The result of this mapping is to spec- - ify that if the terminal type is <STRONG>dialup</STRONG>, and the baud rate - is greater than 9600 baud, a terminal type of <STRONG>vt100</STRONG> will - be used. - - If no baud rate is specified, the terminal type will match - any baud rate. If no port type is specified, the terminal - type will match any port type. For example, <STRONG>-m</STRONG> - <STRONG>dialup:vt100</STRONG> <STRONG>-m</STRONG> <STRONG>:?xterm</STRONG> will cause any dialup port, - regardless of baud rate, to match the terminal type vt100, - and any non-dialup port type to match the terminal type - ?xterm. Note, because of the leading question mark, the - user will be queried on a default port as to whether they - are actually using an xterm terminal. - - No whitespace characters are permitted in the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option - argument. Also, to avoid problems with meta-characters, - it is suggested that the entire <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option argument be - placed within single quote characters, and that <STRONG>csh</STRONG> users - insert a backslash character (``\'') before any exclama- - tion marks (``!''). - - -</PRE> -<H2>HISTORY</H2><PRE> - The <STRONG>tset</STRONG> command appeared in BSD 3.0. The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> imple- - mentation was lightly adapted from the 4.4BSD sources for - a terminfo environment by Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyr- - sus.com>. - - -</PRE> -<H2>COMPATIBILITY</H2><PRE> - The <STRONG>tset</STRONG> utility has been provided for backward-compati- - bility with BSD environments (under most modern UNIXes, - <STRONG>/etc/inittab</STRONG> and <STRONG><A HREF="getty.1.html">getty(1)</A></STRONG> can set <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> appropriately for - each dial-up line; this obviates what was <STRONG>tset</STRONG>'s most - important use). This implementation behaves like 4.4BSD - tset, with a few exceptions specified here. - - The <STRONG>-S</STRONG> option of BSD tset no longer works; it prints an - error message to stderr and dies. The <STRONG>-s</STRONG> option only sets - <STRONG>TERM</STRONG>, not <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG>. Both these changes are because the - <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG> variable is no longer supported under terminfo- - based <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>, which makes <STRONG>tset</STRONG> <STRONG>-S</STRONG> useless (we made it die - noisily rather than silently induce lossage). - - There was an undocumented 4.4BSD feature that invoking - tset via a link named `TSET` (or via any other name begin- - ning with an upper-case letter) set the terminal to use - upper-case only. This feature has been omitted. - - The <STRONG>-A</STRONG>, <STRONG>-E</STRONG>, <STRONG>-h</STRONG>, <STRONG>-u</STRONG> and <STRONG>-v</STRONG> options were deleted from the - <STRONG>tset</STRONG> utility in 4.4BSD. None of them were documented in - 4.3BSD and all are of limited utility at best. The <STRONG>-a</STRONG>, - <STRONG>-d</STRONG>, and <STRONG>-p</STRONG> options are similarly not documented or useful, - but were retained as they appear to be in widespread use. - It is strongly recommended that any usage of these three - options be changed to use the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option instead. The <STRONG>-n</STRONG> - option remains, but has no effect. The <STRONG>-adnp</STRONG> options are - therefore omitted from the usage summary above. - - It is still permissible to specify the <STRONG>-e</STRONG>, <STRONG>-i</STRONG>, and <STRONG>-k</STRONG> - options without arguments, although it is strongly recom- - mended that such usage be fixed to explicitly specify the - character. - - As of 4.4BSD, executing <STRONG>tset</STRONG> as <STRONG>reset</STRONG> no longer implies - the <STRONG>-Q</STRONG> option. Also, the interaction between the - option - and the <EM>terminal</EM> argument in some historic implementations - of <STRONG>tset</STRONG> has been removed. - - -</PRE> -<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2><PRE> - The <STRONG>tset</STRONG> command uses these environment variables: - - SHELL - tells <STRONG>tset</STRONG> whether to initialize <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> using <STRONG>sh</STRONG> or <STRONG>csh</STRONG> - syntax. - - TERM Denotes your terminal type. Each terminal type is - distinct, though many are similar. - - TERMCAP - may denote the location of a termcap database. If it - is not an absolute pathname, e.g., begins with a `/', - <STRONG>tset</STRONG> removes the variable from the environment before - looking for the terminal description. - - -</PRE> -<H2>FILES</H2><PRE> - /etc/ttys - system port name to terminal type mapping database - (BSD versions only). - - /usr/share/terminfo - terminal capability database - - -</PRE> -<H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE> - <STRONG><A HREF="csh.1.html">csh(1)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="sh.1.html">sh(1)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="stty.1.html">stty(1)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_terminfo.3x.html">curs_terminfo(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="tty.4.html">tty(4)</A></STRONG>, ter- - <STRONG><A HREF="minfo.5.html">minfo(5)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="ttys.5.html">ttys(5)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="environ.7.html">environ(7)</A></STRONG> - - This describes <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> version 5.9 (patch 20110404). - - - - <STRONG><A HREF="tset.1.html">tset(1)</A></STRONG> -</PRE> -<HR> -<ADDRESS> -Man(1) output converted with -<a href="http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html">man2html</a> -</ADDRESS> -</BODY> -</HTML> |
