Bug#1016: top has 3's in vt100
Package: procps
Version: 0.97-4
The original bug report said:
:When using top with TERM set to vt100 I get 3's at the end of every
:line. Seems to work fine if TERM is set to xterm. Maybe it needs to
:be recompiled with a newer version of ncurses?
I took a look at the source for top, and at the man pages for terminfo. The
problem would appear to be that top uses printf() to output the terminfo
capability strings, when it should use tputs()
I hope this is useful.
