Terminfo

To make sure Rio works correctly, the Rio terminfo must be used. The rio terminfo will be picked up automatically if it is installed.

If the following command returns without any errors, the rio terminfo is already installed:

infocmp rio

If it is not present already, you can install it globally with the following command:

When cloned locally, from the root of the repository run sudo tic -xe xterm-rio,rio misc/rio.terminfo

If the source code has not been cloned locally:

curl -o rio.terminfo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raphamorim/rio/main/misc/rio.terminfo
sudo tic -xe xterm-rio,rio rio.terminfo
rm rio.terminfo

Terminfo Entries​

The Rio terminfo provides two entries:

  • rio: The primary terminfo entry used by the TERM environment variable
  • xterm-rio: A compatibility entry for applications that look for "xterm-" prefixed terminals to detect capabilities

Both entries provide the same terminal capabilities, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of applications.
