INFOCMP(1) |
NAME
infocmp — compare or print compiled terminfo descriptions
SYNOPSIS
infocmp |
[-1acnqux] [-A database] [-B database] [-w cols] [term ...] |
DESCRIPTION
The
infocmp reconstructs the first available
terminfo(5) definition found for
term and prints the result in a
terminfo(5) format. Capability types are grouped together and new types start new lines, first flags, then numbers, then strings. Capabilities are sorted by their name. If a second
term is given then the capabilities are compared against each other.
The following options are available:
-
-1
-
Print one capability per line.
-
-A database
-
Use this database to load the first terminal definition.
-
-B database
-
Use this database to load subsequent terminal definitions.
-
-a
-
Include commented out capabilities. This only works if the database was compiled with the -a flag passed to tic(1). This also sets the -x flag as infocmp retains commented out capabilities as non standard.
-
-c
-
Print capabilities common to each definition.
-
-n
-
Print capabilities that do not exist in either definition.
-
-q
-
Make the comparison listing shorter by omitting subheadings and using - for absent capabilities, @ for canceled capabilities rather than NULL.
-
-u
-
Build a new terminal description for the first terminal description, using subsequent terminal descriptions. This also sets the -a flag.
-
-w cols
-
Limit the width to cols.
-
-x
-
Include non-standard capabilities. More -x only handles non-standard capabilities. This only works if the database was compiled with the -x flag passed to tic(1).
ENVIRONMENT
-
COLUMNS
-
Override columns returned by the output terminal. -w cols supersedes this.
-
TERM
-
infocmp uses the contents of the TERM environment variable if no terminal name is given on the command line.
EXIT STATUS
The infocmp utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
