[OpenIndiana-discuss] termcap

[Reginald Beardsley]

Termcap vs terminfo has always been a bit of a mess.  I believe that terminfo has always been standard on Solaris since 2.1.

The best way to diagnose the problem is to run truss and look to see what it tries to open and in what order it looks for files.  This is useful for many such problems.

truss -o truss.out -f vi

shows OI 151a8 is looking in /usr/share/lib/terminfo

have Fun!

 Hi,
 
 one more question came up, why are my changes in vim 
 /usr/share/lib/termcap not effective, is there a command
 that I need to 
 run for it to work?
 (I want to change the number of colons and lines for some
 terminal type).
 Or is this the wrong way to do it and I need to compile the
 changes 
 somehow to the appropriate location in
 /usr/share/lib/terminfo/X ?
 
 Regards,
 sam
