dscreen terminal configuration information file

The dscreen utility terminal configuration information file (or dsinfo file) is used to define a different set of keys to be used with the dscreen utility.

This might be done, for example, when the originally defined dscreen utility keys conflict with a software application in use on the system.

The dsinfo file terminal type assumes a single page of screen memory. Therefore, if a terminal supports additional pages of screen memory, the dsinfo file must be customized to use the appropriate sequence for page memory control. Consult the appropriate terminal reference guide for the specific control sequence.

The default dsinfo file is /usr/lbin/tty/dsinfo. Use the -i flag to specify a different dsinfo file. This remainder of this section refers to the default file. However, the same information applies to any customized dsinfo file you create.
