I have installed some custom
terminfo
with tic
command. How do I list all terminfo
in the database (e.g. with infocmp
) and how to delete specific terminfo
?
Here's my idea as of right now:
On Linux, system-wide terminfo
database is located in /lib/terminfo
(Debian), /usr/share/terminfo
(Arch), and /usr/share/lib/terminfo
(Solaris);
On macOS, system-wide terminfo
database is located in /usr/share/terminfo
;
User-defined terminfo
database is in ~/.terminfo
.
For now I believe the terminfo
database items could be altered by deleting the compiled items in those directories. So further questions are: Why are items terminfo
organized in two hex digit directories (e.g. 31, 7a)? How are they organized? And if I write a new terminfo
with tic
into the database, but with an existent name, is the previous terminfo
overwritten?
