28: Cursor Visibility
29: =================
30:
31: Some terminals have the ability to make the cursor invisible, or to enhance
32: it. Enhancing the cursor is often done by programs that plan to use the
33: cursor to indicate to the user a position of interest that may be anywhere
34: on the screen---for example, the Emacs editor enhances the cursor on entry.
35: Such programs should always restore the cursor to normal on exit.
36:
37: `vs'
38: String of commands to enhance the cursor.
39:
40: `vi'
41: String of commands to make the cursor invisible.
42:
43: `ve'
44: String of commands to return the cursor to normal.
45:
46: If you define either `vs' or `vi', you must also define `ve'.

52: ====
53:
54: Here we describe commands to make the terminal ask for the user to pay
55: attention to it.
56:
57: `bl'
58: String of commands to cause the terminal to make an audible sound. If
59: this capability is absent, the terminal has no way to make a suitable
60: sound.
61:
62: `vb'
63: String of commands to cause the screen to flash to attract attention
64: ("visible bell"). If this capability is absent, the terminal has no
65: way to do such a thing.

70: Keypad and Function Keys
71: ========================
72:
73: Many terminals have arrow and function keys that transmit specific
74: character sequences to the computer. Since the precise sequences used
75: depend on the terminal, termcap defines capabilities used to say what the
76: sequences are. Unlike most termcap string-valued capabilities, these are
77: not strings of commands to be sent to the terminal, rather strings that
78: are received from the terminal.
79:
80: Programs that expect to use keypad keys should check, initially, for a
81: `ks' capability and send it, to make the keypad actually transmit.
82: Such programs should also send the `ke' string when exiting.
83:
84: `ks'
85: String of commands to make the function keys transmit. If this
86: capability is not provided, but the others in this section are,
87: programs may assume that the function keys always transmit.
88:
89: `ke'
90: String of commands to make the function keys work locally. This
91: capability is provided only if `ks' is.
92:
93: `kl'
94: String of input characters sent by typing the left-arrow key. If this
95: capability is missing, you cannot expect the terminal to have a
96: left-arrow key that transmits anything to the computer.
97:
98: `kr'
99: String of input characters sent by typing the right-arrow key.
100:
101: `ku'
102: String of input characters sent by typing the up-arrow key.
103:
104: `kd'
105: String of input characters sent by typing the down-arrow key.
106:
107: `kh'
108: String of input characters sent by typing the "home-position" key.
109:
110: `K1' ... `K5'
111: Strings of input characters sent by the five other keys in a 3-by-3
112: array that includes the arrow keys, if the keyboard has such a 3-by-3
113: array. Note that one of these keys may be the "home-position" key,
114: in which case one of these capabilities will have the same value as
115: the `kh' key.
116:
117: `k0'
118: String of input characters sent by function key 10 (or 0, if the terminal
119: has one labeled 0).
120:
121: `k1' ... `k9'
122: Strings of input characters sent by function keys 1 through 9,
123: provided for those function keys that exist.
124:
125: `kn'
126: Number: the number of numbered function keys, if there are more than
127: 10.
128:
129: `l0' ... `l9'
130: Strings which are the labels appearing on the keyboard on the keys
131: described by the capabilities `k0' ... `l9'. These capabilities
132: should be left undefined if the labels are `f0' or `f10' and `f1'
133: ... `f9'.
134:
135: `kH'
136: String of input characters sent by the "home down" key, if there is
137: one.
138:
139: `kb'
140: String of input characters sent by the "backspace" key, if there is
141: one.
142:
143: `ka'
144: String of input characters sent by the "clear all tabs" key, if there
145: is one.
146:
147: `kt'
148: String of input characters sent by the "clear tab stop this column"
149: key, if there is one.
150:
151: `kC'
152: String of input characters sent by the "clear screen" key, if there is
153: one.
154:
155: `kD'
156: String of input characters sent by the "delete character" key, if
157: there is one.
158:
159: `kL'
160: String of input characters sent by the "delete line" key, if there is
161: one.
162:
163: `kM'
164: String of input characters sent by the "exit insert mode" key, if
165: there is one.
166:
167: `kE'
168: String of input characters sent by the "clear to end of line" key, if
169: there is one.
170:
171: `kS'
172: String of input characters sent by the "clear to end of screen" key,
173: if there is one.
174:
175: `kI'
176: String of input characters sent by the "insert character" or "enter
177: insert mode" key, if there is one.
178:
179: `kA'
180: String of input characters sent by the "insert line" key, if there is
181: one.
182:
183: `kN'
184: String of input characters sent by the "next page" key, if there is
185: one.
186:
187: `kP'
188: String of input characters sent by the "previous page" key, if there is
189: one.
190:
191: `kF'
192: String of input characters sent by the "scroll forward" key, if there
193: is one.
194:
195: `kR'
196: String of input characters sent by the "scroll reverse" key, if there
197: is one.
198:
199: `kT'
200: String of input characters sent by the "set tab stop in this column"
201: key, if there is one.
202:
203: `ko'
204: String listing the other function keys the terminal has. This is a
205: very obsolete way of describing the same information found in the
206: `kH' ... `kT' keys. The string contains a list of two-character
207: termcap capability names, separated by commas. The meaning is that
208: for each capability name listed, the terminal has a key which sends
209: the string which is the value of that capability. For example, the
210: value `:ko=cl,ll,sf,sr:' says that the terminal has four function
211: keys which mean "clear screen", "home down", "scroll forward" and
212: "scroll reverse".

215: File: termcap Node: Meta Key, Prev: Keypad, Up: Capabilities, Next: Initialization
216:
217: Meta Key
218: ========
219:
220: A Meta key is a key on the keyboard that modifies each character you type
221: by controlling the 0200 bit. This bit is on if and only if the Meta key is
222: held down when the character is typed. Characters typed using the Meta key
223: are called Meta characters. Emacs uses Meta characters as editing
224: commands.
225:
226: `km'
227: Flag whose presence means that the terminal has a Meta key.
228:
229: `mm'
230: String of commands to enable the functioning of the Meta key.
231:
232: `mo'
233: String of commands to disable the functioning of the Meta key.
234:
235: If the terminal has `km' but does not have `mm' and `mo', it
236: means that the Meta key always functions. If it has `mm' and
237: `mo', it means that the Meta key can be turned on or off. Send the
238: `mm' string to turn it on, and the `mo' string to turn it off.
239: I do not know why one would ever not want it to be on.

242: File: termcap Node: Initialization, Prev: Meta Key, Up: Capabilities, Next: Pad Specs
243:
244: Initialization
245: ==============
246:
247: `ti'
248: String of commands to put the terminal into whatever special modes are
249: needed or appropriate for programs that move the cursor
250: nonsequentially around the screen. Programs that use termcap to do
251: full-screen display should output this string when they start up.
252:
253: `te'
254: String of commands to undo what is done by the `ti' string.
255: Programs that output the `ti' string on entry should output this
256: string when they exit.
257:
258: `is'
259: String of commands to initialize the terminal for each login session.
260:
261: `if'
262: String which is the name of a file containing the string of commands
263: to initialize the terminal for each session of use. Normally `is'
264: and `if' are not both used.
265:
266: `i1'
267: `i3'
268: Two more strings of commands to initialize the terminal for each login
269: session. The `i1' string (if defined) is output before `is'
270: or `if', and the `i3' string (if defined) is output after.
271:
272: The reason for having three separate initialization strings is to make
273: it easier to define a group of related terminal types with slightly
274: different initializations. Define two or three of the strings in the
275: basic type; then the other types can override one or two of the
276: strings.
277:
278: `rs'
279: String of commands to reset the terminal from any strange mode it may
280: be in. Normally this includes the `is' string (or other commands
281: with the same effects) and more. What would go in the `rs'
282: string but not in the `is' string are annoying or slow commands
283: to bring the terminal back from strange modes that nobody would
284: normally use.
285:
286: `it'
287: Numeric value, the initial spacing between hardware tab stop columns
288: when the terminal is powered up. Programs to initialize the terminal
289: can use this to decide whether there is a need to set the tab stops.
290: If the initial width is 8, well and good; if it is not 8, then the
291: tab stops should be set; if they cannot be set, the kernel is told
292: to convert tabs to spaces, and other programs will observe this and do
293: likewise.
294:
295: `ct'
296: String of commands to clear all tab stops.
297:
298: `st'
299: String of commands to set tab stop at current cursor column on all
300: lines.

304:
305: Padding Capabilities
306: ====================
307:
308: There are two terminal capabilities that exist just to explain the proper
309: way to obey the padding specifications in all the command string
310: capabilities. One, `pc', must be obeyed by all termcap-using
311: programs.
312:
313: `pb'
314: Numeric value, the lowest baud rate at which padding is actually
315: needed. Programs may check this and refrain from doing any padding at
316: lower speeds.
317:
318: `pc'
319: String of commands for padding. The first character of this string is
320: to be used as the pad character, instead of using null characters for
321: padding. If `pc' is not provided, use null characters. Every
322: program that uses termcap must look up this capability and use it to
323: set the variable `PC' that is used by `tputs'.
324: *Note Padding::.
325:
326: Some termcap capabilities exist just to specify the amount of padding that
327: the kernel should give to cursor motion commands used in ordinary
328: sequential output.
329:
330: `dC'
331: Numeric value, the number of msec of padding needed for the
332: carriage-return character.
333:
334: `dN'
335: Numeric value, the number of msec of padding needed for the newline
336: (linefeed) character.
337:
338: `dB'
339: Numeric value, the number of msec of padding needed for the backspace
340: character.
341:
342: `dF'
343: Numeric value, the number of msec of padding needed for the formfeed
344: character.
345:
346: `dT'
347: Numeric value, the number of msec of padding needed for the tab
348: character.
349:
350: In some systems, the kernel uses the above capabilities; in other systems,
351: the kernel uses the paddings specified in the string capabilities
352: `cr', `sf', `le', `ff' and `ta'. Descriptions of
353: terminals which require such padding should contain the `dC' ...
354: `dT' capabilities and also specify the appropriate padding in the
355: corresponding string capabilities. Since no modern terminals require
356: padding for ordinary sequential output, you probably won't need to do
357: either of these things.

360: File: termcap Node: Status Line, Prev: Pad Specs, Up: Capabilities, Next: Half-Line
361:
362: Status Line
363: ===========
364:
365: A "status line" is a line on the terminal that is not used for ordinary
366: display output but instead used for a special message. The intended use is
367: for a continuously updated description of what the user's program is doing,
368: and that is where the name "status line" comes from, but in fact it could
369: be used for anything. The distinguishing characteristic of a status line
370: is that ordinary output to the terminal does not affect it; it changes only
371: if the special status line commands of this section are used.
372:
373: `hs'
374: Flag whose presence means that the terminal has a status line. If a
375: terminal description specifies that there is a status line, it must
376: provide the `ts' and `fs' capabilities.
377:
378: `ts'
379: String of commands to move the terminal cursor into the status line.
380: Usually these commands must specifically record the old cursor
381: position for the sake of the `fs' string.
382:
383: `fs'
384: String of commands to move the cursor back from the status line to its
385: previous position (outside the status line).
386:
387: `es'
388: Flag whose presence means that other display commands work while
389: writing the status line. In other words, one can clear parts of it,
390: insert or delete characters, move the cursor within it using `ch'
391: if there is a `ch' capability, enter and leave standout mode, and
392: so on.
393:
394: `ds'
395: String of commands to disable the display of the status line. This
396: may be absent, if there is no way to disable the status line display.
397:
398: `ws'
399: Numeric value, the width of the status line. If this capability is
400: absent in a terminal that has a status line, it means the status line
401: is the same width as the other lines.
402:
403: Note that the value of `ws' is sometimes as small as 8.

407:
408: Half-Line Motion
409: ================
410:
411: Some terminals have commands for moving the cursor vertically by half-lines,
412: useful for outputting subscripts and superscripts. Mostly it is hardcopy
413: terminals that have such features.
414:
415: `hu'
416: String of commands to move the cursor up half a line. If the terminal
417: is a display, it is your responsibility to avoid moving up past the
418: top line; however, most likely the terminal that supports this is a
419: hardcopy terminal and there is nothing to be concerned about.
420:
421: `hd'
422: String of commands to move the cursor down half a line. If the
423: terminal is a display, it is your responsibility to avoid moving down
424: past the bottom line, etc.

427: File: termcap Node: Printer, Prev: Half-Line, Up: Capabilities
428:
429: Controlling Printers Attached to Terminals
430: ==========================================
431:
432: Some terminals have attached hardcopy printer ports. They may be able to
433: copy the screen contents to the printer; they may also be able to redirect
434: output to the printer. Termcap does not have anything to tell the program
435: whether the redirected output appears also on the screen; it does on some
436: terminals but not all.
437:
438: `ps'
439: String of commands to cause the contents of the screen to be printed.
440: If it is absent, the screen contents cannot be printed.
441:
442: `po'
443: String of commands to redirect further output to the printer.
444:
445: `pf'
446: String of commands to terminate redirection of output to the printer.
447: This capability must be present in the description if `po' is.
448:
449: `pO'
450: String of commands to redirect output to the printer for next N
451: characters of output, regardless of what they are. Redirection will
452: end automatically after N characters of further output. Until
453: then, nothing that is output can end redirection, not even the
454: `pf' string if there is one. The number N should not be
455: more than 255.
456:
457: One use of this capability is to send non-text byte sequences (such as
458: bit-maps) to the printer.
459:
460: Most terminals with printers do not support all of `ps', `po' and
461: `pO'; any one or two of them may be supported. To make a program that
462: can send output to all kinds of printers, it is necessary to check for all
463: three of these capabilities, choose the most convenient of the ones that
464: are provided, and use it in its own appropriate fashion.
