NCURSES_NO_SETBUF
- Normally <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> enables buffered output during ter-
- minal initialization. This is done (as in SVr4
- curses) for performance reasons. For testing pur-
- poses, both of <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> and certain applications, this
- feature is made optional. Setting the
- NCURSES_NO_SETBUF variable disables output buffering,
- leaving the output in the original (usually line
- buffered) mode.
+ This setting is obsolete. Before changes

+ tialization. This was done (as in SVr4 curses) for

+ made optional. Setting the NCURSES_NO_SETBUF vari-
+ able disabled output buffering, leaving the output in
+ the original (usually line buffered) mode.
+
+ In the current implementation, ncurses performs its
+ own buffering and does not require this workaround.
+ It does not modify the buffering of the standard out-
+ put.
+
+ The reason for the change was to make the behavior
+ for interrupts and other signals more robust. One
+ drawback is that certain nonconventional programs
+ would mix ordinary stdio calls with ncurses calls and
+ (usually) work. This is no longer possible since
+ ncurses is not using the buffered standard output but
+ its own output (to the same file descriptor). As a
+ special case, the low-level calls such as <STRONG>putp</STRONG> still
+ use the standard output. But high-level curses calls

+ <STRONG>User-Defined</STRONG> <STRONG>Capabilities</STRONG>
+ The preceding section listed the <EM>predefined</EM> capabilities.
+ They deal with some special features for terminals no
+ longer (or possibly never) produced. Occasionally there
+ are special features of newer terminals which are awkward
+ or impossible to represent by reusing the predefined capa-
+ bilities.
+
+ <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> addresses this limitation by allowing user-defined
+ capabilities. The <STRONG>tic</STRONG> and <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> programs provide the <STRONG>-x</STRONG>
+ option for this purpose. When <STRONG>-x</STRONG> is set, <STRONG>tic</STRONG> treats
+ unknown capabilities as user-defined. That is, if <STRONG>tic</STRONG>
+ encounters a capability name which it does not recognize,
+ it infers its type (boolean, number or string) from the
+ syntax and makes an extended table entry for that capabil-
+ ity. The <STRONG>use_extended_names</STRONG> function makes this informa-
+ tion conditionally available to applications. The ncurses
+ library provides the data leaving most of the behavior to
+ applications:
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> User-defined capability strings whose name begins with
+ "k" are treated as function keys.
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> The types (boolean, number, string) determined by <STRONG>tic</STRONG>
+ can be inferred by successful calls on <STRONG>tigetflag</STRONG>, etc.
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> If the capability name happens to be two characters,
+ the capability is also available through the termcap
+ interface.
+
+ While termcap is said to be extensible because it does not
+ use a predefined set of capabilities, in practice it has
+ been limited to the capabilities defined by terminfo
+ implementations. As a rule, user-defined capabilities
+ intended for use by termcap applications should be limited
+ to booleans and numbers to avoid running past the 1023
+ byte limit assumed by termcap implementations and their
+ applications. In particular, providing extended sets of
+ function keys (past the 60 numbered keys and the handful
+ of special named keys) is best done using the longer names
+ available using terminfo.

<STRONG>Insert/Delete</STRONG> <STRONG>Character</STRONG>
- There are two basic kinds of intelligent terminals with

- operations affect only the characters on the current line
- and shift characters off the end of the line rigidly.
- Other terminals, such as the Concept 100 and the Perkin
- Elmer Owl, make a distinction between typed and untyped
- blanks on the screen, shifting upon an insert or delete
- only to an untyped blank on the screen which is either
- eliminated, or expanded to two untyped blanks. You can
- determine the kind of terminal you have by clearing the
- screen and then typing text separated by cursor motions.
- Type "abc def" using local cursor motions (not spaces)
- between the "abc" and the "def". Then position the cursor
- before the "abc" and put the terminal in insert mode. If
- typing characters causes the rest of the line to shift
- rigidly and characters to fall off the end, then your ter-

<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The command <STRONG>tic</STRONG> translates a <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> file from source
+ The <STRONG>tic</STRONG> command translates a <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> file from source
format into compiled format. The compiled format is nec-
essary for use with the library routines in <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG>.
+ As described in <STRONG><A HREF="term.5.html">term(5)</A></STRONG>, the database may be either a
+ directory tree (one file per terminal entry) or a hashed
+ database (one record per entry). The <STRONG>tic</STRONG> command writes
+ only one type of entry, depending on how it was built:
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> For directory trees, the top-level directory, e.g.,
+ /usr/share/terminfo, specifies the location of the
+ database.
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> For hashed databases, a filename is needed. If the
+ given file is not found by that name, but can be found
+ by adding the suffix ".db", then that is used.
+
+ The default name for the hashed database is the same
+ as the default directory name (only adding a ".db"
+ suffix).
+
+ In either case (directory or hashed database), <STRONG>tic</STRONG> will
+ create the container if it does not exist. For a direc-
+ tory, this would be the "terminfo" leaf, versus a "ter-
+ minfo.db" file.
+
The results are normally placed in the system terminfo
- directory <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG>. There are two ways to
- change this behavior.
+ database <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG>. The compiled terminal
+ description can be placed in a different terminfo data-
+ base. There are two ways to achieve this:
- First, you may override the system default by setting the
- variable <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> in your shell environment to a valid
- (existing) directory name.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> First, you may override the system default either by
+ using the <STRONG>-o</STRONG> option, or by setting the variable <STRONG>TER-</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>MINFO</STRONG> in your shell environment to a valid database
+ location.
- Secondly, if <STRONG>tic</STRONG> cannot get access to <EM>/usr/share/terminfo</EM>
- or your TERMINFO directory, it looks for the directory
- <EM>$HOME/.terminfo</EM>; if that directory exists, the entry is
- placed there.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> Secondly, if <STRONG>tic</STRONG> cannot write in <EM>/usr/share/terminfo</EM>
+ or the location specified using your TERMINFO vari-
+ able, it looks for the directory <EM>$HOME/.terminfo</EM> (or
+ hashed database <EM>$HOME/.terminfo.db)</EM>; if that location
+ exists, the entry is placed there.
Libraries that read terminfo entries are expected to check
- for a TERMINFO directory first, look at <EM>$HOME/.terminfo</EM> if
- TERMINFO is not set, and finally look in <EM>/usr/share/ter-</EM>
- <EM>minfo</EM>.

+ left in the entry under their terminfo names but
+ commented out with two preceding dots. The actual
+ format used incorporates some improvements for
+ escaped characters from terminfo format. For a
+ stricter BSD-compatible translation, add the <STRONG>-K</STRONG>
+ option.
+
+ If this is combined with <STRONG>-c</STRONG>, <STRONG>tic</STRONG> makes additional
+ checks to report cases where the terminfo values do
+ not have an exact equivalent in termcap form. For
+ example:
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>sgr</STRONG> usually will not convert, because termcap
+ lacks the ability to work with more than two
+ parameters, and because termcap lacks many of
+ the arithmetic/logical operators used in ter-
+ minfo.
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> capabilities with more than one delay or with
+ delays before the end of the string will not
+ convert completely.
<STRONG>-c</STRONG> tells <STRONG>tic</STRONG> to only check <EM>file</EM> for errors, including
syntax problems and bad use links. If you specify
<STRONG>-C</STRONG> (<STRONG>-I</STRONG>) with this option, the code will print warn-
ings about entries which, after use resolution, are
more than 1023 (4096) bytes long. Due to a fixed
- buffer length in older termcap libraries (and a
- documented limit in terminfo), these entries may
- cause core dumps.

+ as buggy checking for the buffer length (and a doc-
+ umented limit in terminfo), these entries may cause

+
+ <STRONG>tic</STRONG> checks string capabilities to ensure that those
+ with parameters will be valid expressions. It does
+ this check only for the predefined string capabili-
+ ties; those which are defined with the <STRONG>-x</STRONG> option
+ are ignored.
+
+ <STRONG>-D</STRONG> tells <STRONG>tic</STRONG> to print the database locations that it
+ knows about, and exit. The first location shown is
+ the one to which it would write compiled terminal
+ descriptions. If <STRONG>tic</STRONG> is not able to find a
+ writable database location according to the rules
+ summarized above, it will print a diagnostic and
+ exit with an error rather than printing a list of
+ database locations.
