I have been working with the termcap commands (tgetstr) etc.
and have run into a snag. The problem is when using a vt100 terminal
things get a bit strange. Here is a sample of the code I am using.
tgetent(termbuf,term = getenv("TERM"));
SO = tgetstr("so",&capptr); /* start reverse mode */
SE = tgetstr("se",&capptr); /* end reverse mode */
sprintf(buffer,"%s%s%s%s","This is ",SO,"reverse video",SE);
printf("%s\n",buffer);
The output I get looks like:
This is 2reverse video2
^ reversed ^
-----------------
This is part of the vt100 termcap entry:
Note the 2's:
v v
so=2\E[7m :se=2\E[m
What I would like to know is are they there for some purpose? If
so what is it. I would also like to how to use tgoto and tputs if possible.
Thanx in advance.
