Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 63 | <STRONG>Tset</STRONG> initializes terminals. <STRONG>Tset</STRONG> first determines the |
| 64 | type of terminal that you are using. This determination |
| 65 | is done as follows, using the first terminal type found. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | 1. The <STRONG>terminal</STRONG> argument specified on the command line. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | 2. The value of the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> environmental variable. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | 3. (BSD systems only.) The terminal type associated with |
| 72 | the standard error output device in the <EM>/etc/ttys</EM> file. |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 73 | (On System-V-like UNIXes and systems using that conven- |
| 74 | tion, <EM>getty</EM> does this job by setting <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> according to the |
| 75 | type passed to it by <EM>/etc/inittab</EM>.) |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 76 | |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 77 | 4. The default terminal type, "unknown". |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 78 | |
| 79 | If the terminal type was not specified on the command- |
| 80 | line, the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option mappings are then applied (see the |
| 81 | section <STRONG>TERMINAL</STRONG> <STRONG>TYPE</STRONG> <STRONG>MAPPING</STRONG> for more information). |
| 82 | Then, if the terminal type begins with a question mark |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 83 | ("?"), the user is prompted for confirmation of the termi- |
| 84 | nal type. An empty response confirms the type, or, |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 85 | another type can be entered to specify a new type. Once |
| 86 | the terminal type has been determined, the terminfo entry |
| 87 | for the terminal is retrieved. If no terminfo entry is |
| 88 | found for the type, the user is prompted for another ter- |
| 89 | minal type. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Once the terminfo entry is retrieved, the window size, |
| 92 | backspace, interrupt and line kill characters (among many |
| 93 | other things) are set and the terminal and tab initializa- |
| 94 | tion strings are sent to the standard error output. |
| 95 | Finally, if the erase, interrupt and line kill characters |
| 96 | have changed, or are not set to their default values, |
| 97 | their values are displayed to the standard error output. |
| 98 | Use the <STRONG>-c</STRONG> or <STRONG>-w</STRONG> option to select only the window sizing |
| 99 | versus the other initialization. If neither option is |
| 100 | given, both are assumed. |
| 101 | |
| 102 | When invoked as <STRONG>reset</STRONG>, <STRONG>tset</STRONG> sets cooked and echo modes, |
| 103 | turns off cbreak and raw modes, turns on newline transla- |
| 104 | tion and resets any unset special characters to their |
| 105 | default values before doing the terminal initialization |
| 106 | described above. This is useful after a program dies |
| 107 | leaving a terminal in an abnormal state. Note, you may |
| 108 | have to type |
| 109 | |
| 110 | <STRONG><LF>reset<LF></STRONG> |
| 111 | |
| 112 | (the line-feed character is normally control-J) to get the |
| 113 | terminal to work, as carriage-return may no longer work in |
| 114 | the abnormal state. Also, the terminal will often not |
| 115 | echo the command. |
| 116 | |
| 117 | The options are as follows: |
| 118 | |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 119 | <STRONG>-c</STRONG> Set control characters and modes. |
| 120 | |
| 121 | <STRONG>-e</STRONG> Set the erase character to <EM>ch</EM>. |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 122 | |
| 123 | <STRONG>-I</STRONG> Do not send the terminal or tab initialization |
| 124 | strings to the terminal. |
| 125 | |
| 126 | <STRONG>-i</STRONG> Set the interrupt character to <EM>ch</EM>. |
| 127 | |
| 128 | <STRONG>-k</STRONG> Set the line kill character to <EM>ch</EM>. |
| 129 | |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 130 | <STRONG>-m</STRONG> Specify a mapping from a port type to a terminal. |

| 133 | |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 134 | <STRONG>-Q</STRONG> Do not display any values for the erase, interrupt |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 135 | and line kill characters. Normally <STRONG>tset</STRONG> displays the |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 136 | values for control characters which differ from the |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 137 | system's default values. |

Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 141 | The option `-' by itself is equivalent but archaic. |

Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 153 | <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG>. Normally this has no effect, unless |
| 154 | <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> is not able to detect the window size. |

| 156 | The arguments for the <STRONG>-e</STRONG>, <STRONG>-i</STRONG>, and <STRONG>-k</STRONG> options may either be |

Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 163 | It is often desirable to enter the terminal type and |
| 164 | information about the terminal's capabilities into the |
| 165 | shell's environment. This is done using the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> option. |
| 166 | |
| 167 | When the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> option is specified, the commands to enter the |
| 168 | information into the shell's environment are written to |
| 169 | the standard output. If the <STRONG>SHELL</STRONG> environmental variable |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 170 | ends in "csh", the commands are for <STRONG>csh</STRONG>, otherwise, they |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 171 | are for <STRONG>sh</STRONG>. Note, the <STRONG>csh</STRONG> commands set and unset the |
| 172 | shell variable <STRONG>noglob</STRONG>, leaving it unset. The following |
| 173 | line in the <STRONG>.login</STRONG> or <STRONG>.profile</STRONG> files will initialize the |
| 174 | environment correctly: |
| 175 | |
| 176 | eval `tset -s options ... ` |

Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 181 | When the terminal is not hardwired into the system (or the |
| 182 | current system information is incorrect) the terminal type |
| 183 | derived from the <EM>/etc/ttys</EM> file or the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> environmental |
| 184 | variable is often something generic like <STRONG>network</STRONG>, <STRONG>dialup</STRONG>, |
| 185 | or <STRONG>unknown</STRONG>. When <STRONG>tset</STRONG> is used in a startup script it is |
| 186 | often desirable to provide information about the type of |
| 187 | terminal used on such ports. |
| 188 | |
| 189 | The purpose of the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option is to map from some set of |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 190 | conditions to a terminal type, that is, to tell <STRONG>tset</STRONG> "If |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 191 | I'm on this port at a particular speed, guess that I'm on |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 192 | that kind of terminal". |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 193 | |
| 194 | The argument to the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option consists of an optional port |
| 195 | type, an optional operator, an optional baud rate specifi- |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 196 | cation, an optional colon (":") character and a terminal |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 197 | type. The port type is a string (delimited by either the |
| 198 | operator or the colon character). The operator may be any |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 199 | combination of ">", "<", "@", and "!"; ">" means greater |
| 200 | than, "<" means less than, "@" means equal to and "!" |
| 201 | inverts the sense of the test. The baud rate is specified |
| 202 | as a number and is compared with the speed of the standard |
| 203 | error output (which should be the control terminal). The |
| 204 | terminal type is a string. |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 205 | |
| 206 | If the terminal type is not specified on the command line, |
| 207 | the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> mappings are applied to the terminal type. If the |
| 208 | port type and baud rate match the mapping, the terminal |
| 209 | type specified in the mapping replaces the current type. |
| 210 | If more than one mapping is specified, the first applica- |
| 211 | ble mapping is used. |
| 212 | |
| 213 | For example, consider the following mapping: |
| 214 | <STRONG>dialup>9600:vt100</STRONG>. The port type is dialup , the operator |
| 215 | is >, the baud rate specification is 9600, and the termi- |
| 216 | nal type is vt100. The result of this mapping is to spec- |
| 217 | ify that if the terminal type is <STRONG>dialup</STRONG>, and the baud rate |
| 218 | is greater than 9600 baud, a terminal type of <STRONG>vt100</STRONG> will |
| 219 | be used. |
| 220 | |
| 221 | If no baud rate is specified, the terminal type will match |
| 222 | any baud rate. If no port type is specified, the terminal |
| 223 | type will match any port type. For example, <STRONG>-m</STRONG> |
| 224 | <STRONG>dialup:vt100</STRONG> <STRONG>-m</STRONG> <STRONG>:?xterm</STRONG> will cause any dialup port, |
| 225 | regardless of baud rate, to match the terminal type vt100, |
| 226 | and any non-dialup port type to match the terminal type |
| 227 | ?xterm. Note, because of the leading question mark, the |
| 228 | user will be queried on a default port as to whether they |
| 229 | are actually using an xterm terminal. |
| 230 | |
| 231 | No whitespace characters are permitted in the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option |
| 232 | argument. Also, to avoid problems with meta-characters, |
| 233 | it is suggested that the entire <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option argument be |
| 234 | placed within single quote characters, and that <STRONG>csh</STRONG> users |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 235 | insert a backslash character ("\") before any exclamation |
| 236 | marks ("!"). |

Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 249 | The <STRONG>tset</STRONG> utility has been provided for backward-compati- |
| 250 | bility with BSD environments (under most modern UNIXes, |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 251 | <STRONG>/etc/inittab</STRONG> and <STRONG>getty(1)</STRONG> can set <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> appropriately for |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 252 | each dial-up line; this obviates what was <STRONG>tset</STRONG>'s most |
| 253 | important use). This implementation behaves like 4.4BSD |
| 254 | tset, with a few exceptions specified here. |
| 255 | |
| 256 | The <STRONG>-S</STRONG> option of BSD tset no longer works; it prints an |

| 261 | noisily rather than silently induce lossage). |
| 262 | |
| 263 | There was an undocumented 4.4BSD feature that invoking |
| 264 | tset via a link named `TSET` (or via any other name begin- |
| 265 | ning with an upper-case letter) set the terminal to use |
| 266 | upper-case only. This feature has been omitted. |
| 267 | |
| 268 | The <STRONG>-A</STRONG>, <STRONG>-E</STRONG>, <STRONG>-h</STRONG>, <STRONG>-u</STRONG> and <STRONG>-v</STRONG> options were deleted from the |
| 269 | <STRONG>tset</STRONG> utility in 4.4BSD. None of them were documented in |
| 270 | 4.3BSD and all are of limited utility at best. The <STRONG>-a</STRONG>, |
| 271 | <STRONG>-d</STRONG>, and <STRONG>-p</STRONG> options are similarly not documented or useful, |
| 272 | but were retained as they appear to be in widespread use. |
| 273 | It is strongly recommended that any usage of these three |
Steve Kondik | ae271bc | 2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 274 | options be changed to use the <STRONG>-m</STRONG> option instead. The <STRONG>-n</STRONG> |
Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 275 | option remains, but has no effect. The <STRONG>-adnp</STRONG> options are |
| 276 | therefore omitted from the usage summary above. |
| 277 | |
| 278 | It is still permissible to specify the <STRONG>-e</STRONG>, <STRONG>-i</STRONG>, and <STRONG>-k</STRONG> |
| 279 | options without arguments, although it is strongly recom- |
| 280 | mended that such usage be fixed to explicitly specify the |
| 281 | character. |
| 282 | |
| 283 | As of 4.4BSD, executing <STRONG>tset</STRONG> as <STRONG>reset</STRONG> no longer implies |
| 284 | the <STRONG>-Q</STRONG> option. Also, the interaction between the - option |
| 285 | and the <EM>terminal</EM> argument in some historic implementations |
| 286 | of <STRONG>tset</STRONG> has been removed. |

Amit Daniel Kachhap | e6a01f5 | 2011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530 | [diff] [blame] | 291 | The <STRONG>tset</STRONG> command uses these environment variables: |
| 292 | |
| 293 | SHELL |
| 294 | tells <STRONG>tset</STRONG> whether to initialize <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> using <STRONG>sh</STRONG> or <STRONG>csh</STRONG> |
| 295 | syntax. |
| 296 | |
| 297 | TERM Denotes your terminal type. Each terminal type is |
| 298 | distinct, though many are similar. |
| 299 | |
| 300 | TERMCAP |
| 301 | may denote the location of a termcap database. If it |
| 302 | is not an absolute pathname, e.g., begins with a `/', |
| 303 | <STRONG>tset</STRONG> removes the variable from the environment before |
| 304 | looking for the terminal description. |
