16.4 Termcap Examples
=====================
Some examples:
termcap xterm* xn:hs@
Informs 'screen' that all terminals that begin with 'xterm' have firm
auto-margins that allow the last position on the screen to be updated
(xn), but they don't really have a status line (no 'hs' - append '@' to
turn entries off). Note that we assume 'xn' for all terminal names that
start with 'vt', but only if you don't specify a termcap command for
that terminal.
termcap vt* xn
termcap vt102|vt220 Z0=\E[?3h:Z1=\E[?3l
Specifies the firm-margined 'xn' capability for all terminals that begin
with 'vt', and the second line will also add the escape-sequences to
switch into (Z0) and back out of (Z1) 132-character-per-line mode if
this is a VT102 or VT220. (You must specify Z0 and Z1 in your termcap
to use the width-changing commands.)
termcap vt100 "" l0=PF1:l1=PF2:l2=PF3:l3=PF4
This leaves your vt100 termcap alone and adds the function key labels to
each window's termcap entry.
termcap h19|z19 am@:im=\E@:ei=\EO dc=\E[P
Takes a h19 or z19 termcap and turns off auto-margins (am@) and enables
the insert mode (im) and end-insert (ei) capabilities (the '@' in the
'im' string is after the '=', so it is part of the string). Having the
'im' and 'ei' definitions put into your terminal's termcap will cause
screen to automatically advertise the character-insert capability in
each window's termcap. Each window will also get the delete-character
capability (dc) added to its termcap, which screen will translate into a
line-update for the terminal (we're pretending it doesn't support
character deletion).
If you would like to fully specify each window's termcap entry, you
should instead set the '$SCREENCAP' variable prior to running 'screen'.
