README

1This is the GNU termcap library -- a library of C functions that
2enable programs to send control strings to terminals in a way
3independent of the terminal type.  The GNU termcap library does not
4place an arbitrary limit on the size of termcap entries, unlike most
5other termcap libraries.
6
7Most of this package is also distributed with GNU Emacs, but it is
8available in this separate distribution to make it easier to install
9as -ltermcap.  However, use of termcap is discouraged.  Termcap is
10being phased out in favor of the terminfo-based ncurses library, which
11contains an emulation of the termcap library routines in addition to
12an excellent curses implementation.  ncurses is available from the
13usual GNU archive sites.

15See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.
16Additionally:
17
18This package contains termcap.src, the latest official termcap data
19file.  By default, it is not installed.  The current version contains
20some entries that are more than 1023 bytes long, which is the largest
21value that is safe to use with the many historical applications that
22only allocate a 1024 byte termcap buffer (telnet, for example).  If
23you make sure that all of your programs allocate buffers of at least
242500 bytes, or let the termcap library do it by passing a NULL
25pointer, then it is safe to install the new termcap file, as described
26below.
27
28You can give configure two special options:
29  --enable-install-termcap install the termcap data file
30  --with-termcap=FILE     use data file FILE instead of /etc/termcap
31
32Please report any bugs in this library to bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu.
33You can check which version of the library you have by using the RCS
34`ident' command on libtermcap.a.
