dsinfo file

Edit online

The dsinfo file is a database of terminal descriptions used by the dscreen multiple screen utility.

The file contains the following information:

  • The dscreen utility keys and the functions they perform
  • Number of screen memory pages for the terminal
  • Code sequences sent or received to use the above features.

The terminal type entries in the default dsinfo file resemble the following 3151 ASCII terminal values:
