hp(1) General Commands Manual hp(1)
NAME
hp - handle special functions of HP2640 and HP2621-series terminals
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
supports special functions of the Hewlett-Packard HP 2640 and HP 2621 series of terminals, with the primary purpose of producing accurate
representations of most output. A typical use is:
Regardless of the hardware options on a given terminal, tries to do sensible things with underlining and reverse line-feeds. If the termi-
nal has the ``display enhancements'' feature, subscripts and superscripts can be indicated in distinct ways. If it has the ``mathematical-
symbol'' feature, Greek and other special characters can be displayed.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Specify that your terminal has the ``display enhancements'' feature,
to make maximal use of the added display modes. Overstruck characters are presented in the Underline mode. Superscripts
are shown in Half-bright mode, and subscripts in Half-bright, Underlined mode. If this flag is omitted, assumes that your
terminal lacks the ``display enhancements'' feature. In this case, all overstruck characters, subscripts, and super-
scripts are displayed in Inverse Video mode; that is, dark-on-light, rather than light-on-dark.
Request minimization of output by removing new-lines.
Any contiguous sequence of 3 or more new-lines is converted into a sequence of only 2 new-lines; that is, any number of
successive blank lines produces only a single blank output line. This allows you to retain more actual text on the
screen.
DIAGNOSTICS
The representation of a line exceeds 1,024 characters.
RETURN VALUE
returns zero for normal termination, and 2 for all errors.
WARNINGS
An ``overstriking sequence'' is defined as a printing character followed by a backspace followed by another printing character. In such
sequences, if either printing character is an underscore, the other printing character is shown underlined or in Inverse Video; otherwise,
only the first printing character is shown (again, underlined or in Inverse Video). Nothing special is done if a backspace is adjacent to
an ASCII control character. Sequences of control characters (e.g., reverse line-feeds, backspaces) can make text ``disappear''; in partic-
ular, tables generated by that contain vertical lines will often be missing the lines of text that contain the ``foot'' of a vertical line,
unless the input to is piped through (see col(1)).
Although some terminals do support numerical superscript characters, no attempt is made to display them.
