The mfinfocmp utility performs either of the following functions:
The binary, compiled, files must be held in a terminfo database. See Search Sequence for details of how this database is located if the -A or -B options are not set.
The command line for invoking mfinfocmp is:
mfinfocmp [-1] [-m] [-w n] [-A dir] [-B dir] [-S]
[filename [...]]
where the parameters are:
| -1 | (Numeric one, not a lower case "L") Outputs the results in single-column format. |
| -w n | Limits the width of the output to n characters. The default value of n is 60. |
| -m | Treats the input binary file as Micro Focus format, that is, a file produced by mftic with the -m option set. Results are undefined if this option is used to list a terminfo file in system format. This is the default. |
|
Changes the location of the terminfo database when comparing two or more files. The -A option changes the database location for the first file to the directory specified. The -B option changes the database location for the second and subsequent files to the directory specified. (Note that the binary files do not usually reside in the same directory as the database. For example, the file containing details for the vt100 terminal typically resides in a subdirectory v in the database.) |
| -S | Treats the input binary as UNIX vendor-specific format rather than Micro Focus format. |
| filename | Either the name of the terminfo binary file to be listed or the names of the terminfo binary files to be compared. The function
performed depends on the number of filenames specified on the command line as follows:
If no file is specified, mfinfocmp takes the name held in the TERM environment variable and lists that file's terminfo source description If one file is specified, mfinfocmp lists the given file's terminfo source description If two or more files are specified, mfinfocmp compares the first file with the second and subsequent given files. |
