The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,

was aliased to a vt sequence, causing and fixing various bugs.
For syscons, this restores support for arg 2 which sets blinking block
too forcefully, and restores bugs for arg 0 and 1. Arg 2 is used for
vs in the cons25 entry in termcap, but I've never noticed an application
that uses this. The bugs involve replacing local settings by global
ones and need better handling of defaults to fix.
For vt, this requires moving the aliasing code from teken to vt where
it belongs. This sequences is very important for cons25 compatibility
in vt since it is used by the cons25 termcap entries for ve, vi and
vs. vt can't properly support vs for either cons25 or xterm since it
doesn't support blinking. For xterm, the termcap entry for vs asks
for something different using 12;25h instead of 25h.
Rename C25CURS for this to C25LCT and change its description to be closer

Fix missing syscons escape sequence for setting the global cursor shape

in it.
In a recent commit, I forgot to expand an X to an abbreviation of "BORDER".
Fix this and some nearby bad names.
The descriptions were copied from comments in scterm-sc.c, but some
of these are bad. The border [color] was inconsistently described as
a property of the "display", but I had changed this to "adapter" to
match the descriptions for other color settings. All colors supported
by the cons25 sequences are actually properties of the current vty and
that should not be described. But the other colors are defaults.
Change "adapter" to "default" for them and remove "adapter" for the
border. Reduce the verbosity of the abbreviation from AD to D.
that used to work via the bold hack).
Fix the table entry for bright black. Fix spelling of plain black in
nearby table entries (use the macro for black everywhere everywhere).
Fix the currently-unused non-bright color table to not have bright
colors in entries 9-15.
Improve nearby comments. Start converting to the xterm terminology
and default rendering of "bright" instead of "light" for bright
colors.
Syscons wasn't affected by the bug since I optimized it a little by
converting colors 0-15 directly. This also fixes the layering of
the conversion for these colors.
Apply the same optimization to vt (actually the layer above it). This
also moves the conversion 1 closer to the correct layer for colors
0-15.
The optimization of just avoiding 2 calls to a trivial function is worth
about 10% for simple output to the virtual buffer with occasional
rendering. The optimization is so large because the 2 calls are done
on every character, so although there are too many other calls and
other instructions per character, there are only about 10 times as
many. Old versions of syscons were about 10 times faster for simple
output, by using a fast path with about 12 instructions per character.
Rendering to even slow hardware takes relatively little time provided
it is rarely actually done.
for vt. Restore syscons' rendering of background (bg) brightness as
foreground (fg) blinking and vice versa, and add rendering of blinking
as background brightness to vt.
Bright/saturated is conflated with light/white in the implementation
and in this description.
Bright colors were broken in all cases, but appeared to work in the
only case shown by "vidcontrol show". A boldness hack was applied
only in 1 layering-violation place (for some syscons sequences) where
it made some cases seem to work but was undone by clearing bold using
ANSI sequences, and more seriously was not undone when setting
ANSI/xterm dark colors so left them bright. Move this hack to drivers.
The boldness hack is only for fg brightness. Restore/add a similar hack
for bg brightness rendered as fg blinking and vice versa. This works
even better for vt, since vt changes the default text mode to give the
more useful bg brightness instead of fg blinking.
The brightness bit in colors was unnecessarily removed by the boldness
hack. In other cases, it was lost later by teken_256to8(). Use
teken_256to16() to not lose it. teken_256to8() was intended to be
used for bg colors to allow finer or bg-specific control for the more
difficult reduction to 8; however, since 16 bg colors actually work
on VGA except in syscons text mode and the conversion isn't subtle
enough to significantly in that mode, teken_256to8() is not used now.
There are still bugs, especially in vidcontrol, if bright/blinking
background colors are set.
Restore XOR logic for bold/bright fg in syscons (don't change OR
logic for vt). Remove broken ifdef on FG_UNDERLINE and its wrong
or missing bit and restore the correct hard-coded bit. FG_UNDERLINE
is only for mono mode which is not really supported.
Restore XOR logic for blinking/bright bg in syscons (in vt, add
OR logic and render as bright bg). Remove related broken ifdef
on BG_BLINKING and its missing bit and restore the correct
hard-coded bit. The same bit means blinking or bright bg depending
on the mode, and we want to ignore the difference everywhere.
Simplify conversions of attributes in syscons. Don't pretend to
support bold fonts. Don't support unusual encodings of brightness.
It is as good as possible to map 16 VGA colors to 16 xterm-16
colors. E.g., VGA brown -> xterm-16 Olive will be converted back
to VGA brown, so we don't need to convert to xterm-256 Brown. Teken
cons25 compatibility code already does the same, and duplicates some
small tables. This is mostly for the sc -> te direction. The other
direction uses teken_256to16() which is too generic.
codes. This will be used to fix bright colors.
Improve teken_256to8(). Use a lookup table instead of calculations. The
calculations were inaccurate since they used indexes into the xterm-256
6x6x6 color map instead of actual xterm colors. Also, change the threshold
for converting to a primary color: require the primary's component to be
2 or more higher instead of just higher. This affects about 1/5 of the
table entries and gives uniformly distributed colors in the 6x6x6 submap
except for greys (35 entries each for red, green, blue, cyan, brown and
magenta, instead of approx. only 15 each for the mixed colors). Even
more mixed colors would be better for matching colors, but uniform
distribution is best for preserving contrast.
For teken_256to16(), bright colors are just the ones with luminosity >=
60%. These are actually light colors (more white instead of more
saturation), while xterm bright colors except for white itself are
actually saturated with no white, so have luminosity only 50%.
These functions are layering violations. teken cannot do correct
conversions since it shouldn't know the color maps of anything except
xterm. Translating through xterm-16 colors loses information. This
gives bugs like xterm-256 near-brown -> xterm-16 red -> VGA red.

When updating the row number when the cursor position escape sequence is
issued, we should make sure to store the intermediate result in a 32-bit
integer. If we fail to do this, the cursor may be set above the origin
region, which is bad.
This could cause libteken to crash when INVARIANTS is enabled, due to

There is no need for us to support parsing values that are larger than
the maximum terminal window size. In this case that would be the maximum
of unsigned short.
The problem with parsing larger values is that they can cause integer

Introduce a new formatting bit (TF_CJK_RIGHT) that is set when putting a
cell that is the right part of a CJK fullwidth character. This will
allow drivers like vt(9) to support fullwidth characters properly.
emaste@ has a patch to extend vt(9)'s font handling to increase the
number of Unicode -> glyph maps from 2 ({normal,bold)} to 4
({normal,bold} x {left,right}). This will need to use this formatting
bit to determine whether to draw the left or right glyph.

It seems I was under the impression that a tab differs from a single

This should fix applications like jove(1) that use tabs instead of

I'm not sure whether we should install teken as a library on any stock
FreeBSD installation, but I can imagine people want to tinker around
with it now and then. Create a /sys/teken/libteken, which holds a
Makefile to install a shared library version of the terminal emulator,
complete with a manpage.
Also add Makefiles for the demo/stress applications, to build it against
the shared library.
It seems the terminfo library on some systems (OS X, Linux) may emit the
sequence \e[x to reset to default attributes. Apart from using the
zero-command, this escape sequence allows many more operations, such as
setting ANSI colors. I don't see this used anywhere, so this should be
sufficient for now.
This deficiency was spotted by the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. They have their
own patch, which is slightly flawed in my opinion. I don't know why they
never reported this issue to us.

Even though cons25 normally doesn't support origin regions, this
emulator does allow you to do it. It makes more sense to blank only the
origin region when emitting ^L instead of blanking the entire screen.
Apart from that, we should always place the cursor inside the origin
region, which doesn't happen right now.
Even though the default VGA font provides box drawing fonts, there is no
guarantee any font will provide these as well (i.e. ISO-8859-*, KOI8-R).
Just use ASCII characters for box drawing.

These keys have different sequences when using cursorkeys, while insert
and delete stay the same. If they are placed like this, libteken will
return NULL instead of a proper sequence for these characters.
xterm and cons25 have some incompatibilities when it comes to escape
sequences for special keys, such as F1 to F12, home, end, etc. Add a new
te_fkeystr() that can be used to override the strings.
scterm-sck won't do anything with this, but scterm-teken will use
teken_get_sequences() to obtain the proper sequence.
I thought this only had to be done when in origin mode, to ensure that
the cursor is not placed outside the origin, but it seems this is also
done when not in origin mode.
This fixes some artifacts when pressing ^L while running irssi in tmux.
(Almost) nobody noticed this, because cons25 doesn't have scrolling
regions.
These strings often contain things like:
- Window titles.
- Extended key map functionality.
- Color palette switching.
We could look at these features in the future (if people consider them
to be important enough), but we'd better discard them now. This fixes
some artifacts people reported when using TERM=xterm.

Right now if applications want to use the mouse on the command line,
they use sysmouse(4) and install a signal handler in the kernel to
deliver signals when mouse events arrive. This conflicts with my plan to
change to TERM=xterm, so implement proper VT200-style mouse input.
Because mouse input is now streamed through the TTY, it means you can
now SSH to another system on the console and use the mouse there as
well. The disadvantage of the VT200 mouse protocol, is that it doesn't
seem to generate events when moving the cursor. Only when pressing and
releasing mouse buttons.
There are different protocols as well, but this one seems to be most
commonly supported.

It is quite inconvenient that if an application for xterm uses 256 color
mode, text suddenly starts to blink (because of ;5; in the middle).
We'd better just implement 256 color mode and add a conversion routine
from 256 to 8 color mode, which doesn't seem to be too bad in practice.
Remapping colors is done quite simple. If one of the channels is most
actively represented, primary colors are used. If two channels are most
actively represented, secondary colors are used. If all three channels
are equal (gray), it picks between black and white.

If you get bored and want to switch back to cons25, run this:

I can now send an email to the lists, asking whether people are
interested in trying the xterm emulator.
I noticed a small inconsistency in delete and insert line between xterm
and libteken. libteken allows these actions to happen while the cursor
is placed outside the scrolling region, while xterm does not.
This behaviour seems to be VT100-like. Confirmation:

This means we can finally do things like VT100 box drawing when using
Syscons (8-bit characters). As far as I know, the only remaining issue
is the absense of proper escape sequences for special keyboard
characters (cursor, F1 to F12, etc) and xterm emulation should be ready
for general use.
Enabling xterm would have the following advantages:
- Easier possible migration to Unicode. cons25 termcap entries are very
8-bit centric. They use things like CP437 characters for box drawing,
etc.
- Better support for SSH'ing to other operating systems/devices. Most
switches use VT100-style admin interfaces.
- Reduced bandwidth, because applications can now use things like
scrolling regions.
- You can finally use applications like dtach(1) on both the console and
inside an xterm.
- Make xterm/cons25 support runtime configurable. This allows me to
share libteken between syscons and my new vt driver.
- Add a fix to print blanks after printing a double width character to
prevent rendering artifacts.
- Add some more utility functions that I use in the vt driver.
Right now libteken processes TF_REVERSE internally and returns the
toggled colors to the console driver. This isn't entirely correct. This
means that the bold flag is always processed by the foreground color,
while reversing should be done after the foreground color has been set
to a brighter version by the bold flag.
This is no problem with the syscons driver, because with VGA it only
supports 16 foreground and 8 background colors. My WIP console driver
reconfigures the graphics hardware to disable the blink functionality
and uses 16 foreground and 16 background colors. This means that this
driver will handle the TF_REVERSE flag a little different from what
syscons does right now.
I initially committed libteken to sys/dev/syscons/teken, but now that
I'm working on a console driver myself, I noticed this was not a good
decision. Move it to sys/teken to make it easier for other drivers to
use a terminal emulator.
Also list teken.c in sys/conf/files, instead of listing it in all the
files.arch files separately.
