| | Log Message:
| | Add support for translating the following termcap commands into terminfo:
| | %B %D %r %2 %3 %d %+ %> %.
| | Fixes PR bin/44692.
|
|
| According to the manual page we have:
|
| The % encodings have the following meanings:
|
| %% output `%'
| %d output value as in printf(3) %d
| %2 output value as in printf(3) %2d
| %3 output value as in printf(3) %3d
| %. output value as in printf(3) %c
| %+x add x to value, then do %.
| %>xy if value > x then add y, no output
| %r reverse order of two parameters, no output
| %i increment by one, no output
| %n exclusive-or all parameters with 0140 (Datamedia 2500)
| %B BCD (16*(value/10)) + (value%10), no output
| %D Reverse coding (value - 2*(value%16)), no output (Delta Data).
|
|
| Are all of these supported now?
And since we are supporting termcap escapes now, isn't it better to re-instate
termcap(5)? It is the only source of information for them and the web pages
are lacking.
