>Description:
a terminal opened by kterm shows like this:
% stty -a
speed 13 baud; 30 rows; 80 columns;
lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe echok echoke -echonl echoctl
-echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho pendin -nokerninfo
-extproc
iflags: -istrip icrnl -inlcr -igncr ixon -ixoff -ixany imaxbel ignbrk
brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk
oflags: opost onlcr -ocrnl -oxtabs -onocr -onlret
cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -dsrflow
-dtrflow -mdmbuf
cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^H; erase2 = ^@; intr = ^?; kill = ^U;
lnext = ^V; min = 0; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q;
status = ^@; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W;
We can see "min = 0".
This may causes troubles for software using non-canonical mode.
While xterm initialises min = 1, kterm does not.
For example, min = 0 makes ports/japanese/ng, a simple text editor,
busy loop in reading keyboard input from standard input.
>From ng-1.4.4/ttyio.c
while (read(0, &buf[0], 1) != 1)
;
We can also say ng-1.4.4 is buggy because it uses old tty interface and not setting VMIN parameter.
ports/japanese/ng-devel is OK in this point.
>How-To-Repeat:
kterm
stty -a
or
(for not to inherit terminal settings)
// from another host
ssh FreeBSD kterm
stty -a
