chgtinfo(1)                      DG/UX 5.4.2                     chgtinfo(1)


NAME
       chgtinfo - create a temporary version of a TERMINFO entry

SYNOPSIS
       TERMINFO=`chgtinfo modifications`
       export TERMINFO

DESCRIPTION
       One of the touted drawbacks of TERMINFO has been that one could not
       create a temporary modification of a TERMINFO entry.  Chgtinfo
       permits the user to make such modifications.

       The modifications are actual terminfo(4) source statements and are
       passed on to tic(1M) for compilation.  The new TERMINFO directory
       tree is printed out so that it may be assigned to $TERMINFO.  Any
       programs run subsequent to this assignment will make use of the
       modified TERMINFO entry instead of the original TERMINFO entry.

EXAMPLE
              TERMINFO=`chgtinfo xhp, smso=\[3m, smul@,`
              export TERMINFO

       This will add the xhp boolean variable, change or add the smso string
       variable, and remove the smul string variable from the current
       TERMINFO entry.

FILES
       /usr/tmp/tinfo*  Temporary directories and files holding modified
                        TERMINFO entry
