A simple tool to dump terminal capabilities. It uses unibilium library to parse the corresponding termcap file.

You can dump capabilities either for the current terminal from TERM environment variable or provide a name for the terminal you are interested in.

It supports dumping the following capabilities:

• boolean
• extended boolean
• numeric
• extended numeric
• string
• extended string

The extended capabilities are custom capabilities supported by the terminal.

Dumps all boolean capabilities of the current terminal.

$ ./target/debug/term_dump --boolean
auto_left_margin: false
auto_right_margin: true
no_esc_ctlc: false
ceol_standout_glitch: false
eat_newline_glitch: true
erase_overstrike: false
generic_type: false
hard_copy: false
has_meta_key: true
has_status_line: true

$ ./target/debug/term_dump --xboolean
