[9fans] carriage returns and other characters in acme/rc

[9fans] carriage returns and other characters in acme/rc

[Christopher Hobbs]

Some programs like git and zsh (when I ssh into other machines) will spew out carriage returns and other characters like this when run under 9term, acme, or rc:

This is happening in p9p, vanilla plan9, and 9front.  Is there a means of getting acme or rc to display these values "correctly"?

Thanks.

i know that telnet, con and the old ssh have -r option that
supresses carriage return. not sure about the new ssh2 tho.

What happens if you set TERM=dumb? Since I've set TERM=dumb I've never
seen this.

because it doesn't emulate a device that was last built decades ago.
At least they don't demand 3270s.

% TERM=dumb
% PAGER=cat
% man date
DATE(1)

DATE(1)



NAME
       date - print or set the system date and time
(...)




in slightly related news, here's mine:


$ cat ~/bin/acme
#!/usr/bin/env rc
TERM=dumb
exec $PLAN9/bin/acme -c1 -a $*

I have a script "u" that does just that, allowing "u date", "u man", "u
./configure" and so on.

% cat bin/u
#!/bin/rc
SHELL=/bin/sh
path=(/usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin
/usr/bin/X11 /usr/games)
MANPAGER=/bin/cat
exec $*

true.  but at least 3270 emulation makes sense.  those programs
were written for that terminal decades ago, and never supported
a variety of terminals.  the alternative is a layer of web goo, that
given the environment, probablly supports only ie6.  :-)

git on the other hand really has no excuse.
