Summary: terminfo command is broken
Version: 2003-03-04
Type: software bug
Message:
Unfortunately the terminfo command is broken. The problem is, that grub does
not "unescape" the read terminfo sequences from "grub.conf". E.g. if
"grub.conf" contains \e (two characters), then this has to get ESC (a single
character 0x1b), but doesn't. The result is, that the terminal will not output
the single ESC character but will output \e (two characters). No escape
sequence will work.
Another problem is, that the terminfo command without any arguments should
output the current settings but doesn't "escape" the current terminfo
sequences. So the terminal will _execute_ the terminfo sequence instead of
displaying them as a ascii text.
The last thing is, that the size of the terminfo structure entries is maybe too
small. It is currently 32 bytes, but some terminfo sequences are 29 bytes.
Probably some are longer. So I would suggest to make them at least 40 bytes.
Please find enclosed a patch to fix all of these 3 problems.
