Hi Chet,
first of all, thanks for pushing my changes into devel.
I am a bit unhappy with the wording "TGETENT_BROKEN" and "It's not clear
how HPUX is so broken here." Initially, I shared the same view, but when
looking into the POSIX definition of tgetent(2) and (tgetflag) by the
Open Group [1], it says:
> Routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure and an
integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
Similar is documented on the manpage [2] for the BSD implementation.
Unfortunately, I cannot find on FreeBSD and HP-UX macros for ERR and OK
in /usr/include.
For my point of view, HP-UX is not broken, but it simply has another
internal definition of ERR and OK. One can also invert this
argumentation and say that GNU termcap or BSD termcap are broken because
the HP-UX implementation might predate both.
From a technical POV, the code does exactly what is expected now, though.
Regards,
Michael
