Terminal Support for Latin-1, Latin-2, or KOI8-R

For terminals that support only Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1), Latin-2 (ISO 8859-2), or KOI8-R, you should have the following STREAMS configuration:

head <-> ttcompat <->  ldterm <->  u8lat1 <-> TTY

This configuration is only for terminals that support Latin-1. For Latin-2 terminals, replace the STREAMS module u8lat1 with u8lat2. For KOI8-R terminals, replace the module with u8koi8.

Make sure you already have the STREAMS module loaded into the kernel.

To set up the STREAMS configuration shown above, use strchg(1), as follows:

system% cat > tmp/mystreams
ttcompat
ldterm
u8lat1
ptem
^D
system% strchg -f /tmp/mystreams

Be sure that you are either root or the owner of the device when you use strchg(1). To see the current configuration, usestrchg(1), as follows:

system% strconf
ttcompat
ldterm
u8lat1
ptem
pts
system%

To reset the original configuration, set the STREAMS configuration as follows:

system% cat > /tmp/orgstreams
ttcompat
ldterm
ptem
^D
system% strchg -f  /tmp/orgstreams
