Having a doubt on how Function keys are mapped.
1. In my HPUX box my infocmp shows that kf1 (F1 key mapping) is not mapped. But somehow I am able to use an Informix form which requires navigation using F1 keys.
Hi,
I have got an application through which an user will submit an address like "c:\tuser\abc".
This application calls a script and passes the address to the scripts positional parameter say $1.
So $1 should contain "c:\tuser\abc", but when $1 is echoed the "\t" and "\a" are interpreted to... (4 Replies)

I couldn't seem to make 'HOME' key work on my remote windows ssh client to a Fedora Core3 server (the home key works perfectly when i'm physically on site.)
To my surprise, using control+V it seems that both my home and insert key send the same escape sequence ^So it must be my windows SSH client... (0 Replies)

I ran the following grep and sed command.
grep "\t" emp.txt
sed -n '/\t/p' emp.txt
grep treated the '\' as to escape t and took the pattern as literal t whereas sed took the pattern as tab.
That means , grep doesn't understand escape sequence!!!!!!
what to do to make grep... (8 Replies)
Friends,
In the file i am having more then 100 lines like,
File1 had the values like this:

Hello,
I am running Solaris 8. When issuing the command "stty lcase" all text which is output to the terminal are capitalized. Letters that are supposed to be capitals are preceded by a backslash during output. All text which is input is converted to lower case. This is the expected behaviour... (5 Replies)

term - format of compiled term file
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
Compiled terminfo descriptions are placed under the directory In order to avoid a linear search of a huge HP-UX system directory, a two-
level scheme is used: where name is the name of the terminal, and c is the first character of name. Thus, can be found in the file Syn-
onyms for the same terminal are implemented by multiple links to the same compiled file.
The format has been chosen so that it is the same on all hardware. An 8-bit or longer byte is assumed, but no assumptions about byte
ordering or sign extension are made.
The compiled file is created using the program (see tic(1M)), and read by the routine. The file is divided into the following six parts:
1. The header section begins the file and contains six short integers in the following format:
1. Magic number (octal 0432);
2. Size, in bytes, of the names section;
3. Number of bytes in the Boolean section;
4. Number of short integers in the numbers section;
5. Number of offsets (short integers) in the strings section;
6. Size, in bytes, of the string table.
Short integers are stored in two 8-bit bytes. The first byte contains the least significant 8 bits of the value; the second
byte contains the most significant 8 bits. (Thus, the value represented is 256*second+first.) The value -1 is represented
by other negative values are illegal. The -1 generally means that a capability is missing from this terminal. Note that
this format corresponds to the hardware of the VAX and PDP-11. Machines where this does not correspond to the hardware read
the integers as two bytes and compute the result.
2. The terminal names section comes next. It contains the first line of the terminfo description, listing the various names for
the terminal, separated by the character. The section is terminated with an ASCII NUL character.
3. In the Boolean section, the Boolean flags have one byte for each flag. This byte is either or as the flag is absent or
present, respectively. The capabilities are in the same order as they are listed in the file
Between the Boolean section and the number section, a null byte will be inserted, if necessary, to ensure that the number
section begins on an even byte. All short integers are aligned on a short word boundary.
4. The numbers section is similar to the flags section. Each capability consists of two bytes, and is stored as a short inte-
ger. If the value represented is -1, the capability is considered missing.
5. The strings section is also similar. Each capability is stored as a short integer in the format above. A value of -1 means
the capability is missing. Otherwise, the value is taken as an offset from the beginning of the string table. Special char-
acters in or notation are stored in their interpreted form, not the printing representation. Padding information and parame-
ter information are stored intact in uninterpreted form.
6. The final section is the string table. It contains all the values of string capabilities referenced in the string section.
Each string is null terminated.
Note that it is possible for to expect a different set of capabilities than are actually present in the file. Either the database might
have been updated since has been recompiled (resulting in extra unrecognized entries in the file) or the program may have been recompiled
more recently than the database was updated (resulting in missing entries). The routine must be prepared for both possibilities, which is
why the numbers and sizes are included. Also, new capabilities must always be added at the end of the lists of Boolean, number, and string
capabilities.
