vttest − test VT100-type terminal |
|
vttest [options] [24x80.132] |
|
Vttest is a program designed to test the functionality of a VT100 terminal (or emulator thereof). It tests both display (escape sequence handling) and keyboard. The program is menu-driven and contains full on-line operating instructions. |
|
- |
To run a given menu-item, you must enter its number. |
||
|
- |
Menu items start at zero; this is the "Exit" item in almost all cases. |
||
|
- |
You can run all menu-items (for a given level) by entering an asterisk, i.e, ‘*’. |
||
|
- |
You can force a repaint of the menu items by entering "?". |
||
|
- |
A few menus can be more than one page. Use "n" and "p" to switch to the next or previous page. |
|
You can specify the screen geometry in the form [24x80.132], i.e., 24 lines, 80 minimum columns, 132 maximum columns. If your terminal does not switch between 80 and 132 columns you may specify 24x80.80, for example, to avoid a misleading display. Other options are: |
|
-f file |
|
specify a file containing a DRCS (soft character definition) string. |
|
-l |
log test results to vttest.log. |
||
|
-p |
use padding, e.g., for a VT100 connected to a high-speed line. |
||
|
-s |
add time-delay in selected panning/scrolling options to show details. |
||
|
-8 |
use 8-bit controls (this can be changed with a menu option). |
