You can add control sequences for non-supported terminals
to the terminfo database.
The control sequences must be added to the terminfo database
in the /usr/share/lib/terminfo directory. To
add the control sequence values for your terminal:
- Edit the appropriate *.ti file.
- Compile the file using the tic command.
For more information about control sequence values, see the documentation
supplied with your terminal.
The virtual printer
database is a series of files that describe the way print requests
should be processed, such as the data stream to be delivered to the
printer. User-configurable attributes specific to terminal-attached
printers are defined in the virtual printer database and are based
upon the asynchronous communications adapter being used.
The virtual
printer attributes are defined when the virtual printer is configured.
The naming convention for attributes unique to terminal-attached printers
is yN, where N is
an integer greater than or equal to 0. The value of y0 is reserved.
It designates that the virtual printer queue is configured for a terminal-attached
printer and contains the hardware line discipline for the terminal
port. The sections that follow detail the adapter-specific virtual
printer attributes for terminal-attached printers.
To change
the attribute values on an existing virtual printer, use the smit
ps_lsvirprt fast path command.
