Hi!

I've tried to get my terminal+tmux to display true colors today using
the latest terminfo as imported to NetBSD.

Either I misunderstand something or the tmux-direct entry is broken.

> infocmp tmux-direct
# Reconstructed from /usr/share/misc/terminfo.cdb
tmux-direct|tmux with direct-color indexing,
        am, hs, km, mir, msgr, xenl,
        colors#8, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, pairs#64,
...

It shouldn't be 'colors#8', but 16777216, which is the whole point of
the "-direct" entries.

xterm-direct looks good:

> infocmp xterm-direct
# Reconstructed from /usr/share/misc/terminfo.cdb
xterm-direct|xterm with direct-color indexing,
        am, bce, km, mc5i, mir, msgr, npc, xenl,
        colors#16777216, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, pairs#65536,
...


Reading terminfo.src I see:

tmux-direct|tmux with direct-color indexing,
        use=kitty+setal, use=xterm+direct, use=tmux,

> infocmp kitty+setal
kitty+setal|set underline colors (nonstandard),

Compare that to terminfo.src:

kitty+setal|set underline colors (nonstandard),
        setal=\E[58:2::%p1%{65536}%/%d:%p1%{256}%/%{255}%&%d:%p1
              %{255}%&%dm,

Seems like NetBSD's infocmp (or terminfo) doesn't support setal,
sounds like a bug.



> infocmp xterm+direct
# Reconstructed from /usr/share/misc/terminfo.cdb
xterm+direct|xterm with direct-color indexing (building-block),
        colors#16777216, pairs#65536,
        op=\E[39;49m, 
setab=\E[%?%p1%{8}%<%t4%p1%d%e48:2::%p1%{65536}%/%d:%p1%{256}%/%{255}%&%d:%p1%{255}%&%d%;m,
 
setaf=\E[%?%p1%{8}%<%t3%p1%d%e38:2::%p1%{65536}%/%d:%p1%{256}%/%{255}%&%d:%p1%{255}%&%d%;m,

Compared to terminfo file:

xterm+direct|xterm with direct-color indexing (building-block),
        RGB,
        colors#0x1000000, pairs#0x10000, CO#8,
        initc@, op=\E[39;49m,
        setab=\E[%?%p1%{8}%<%t4%p1%d%e48:2::%p1%{65536}%/%d:%p1
              %{256}%/%{255}%&%d:%p1%{255}%&%d%;m,
        setaf=\E[%?%p1%{8}%<%t3%p1%d%e38:2::%p1%{65536}%/%d:%p1
              %{256}%/%{255}%&%d:%p1%{255}%&%d%;m,
        setb@, setf@,

Again, a couple things seem to get lost (RGB, CO#8, initc@, setb@,
setf@) but the colors are there.

> infocmp tmux
# Reconstructed from /usr/share/misc/terminfo.cdb
tmux|tmux terminal multiplexer,
        am, hs, km, mir, msgr, xenl,
        colors#8, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, pairs#64,
...

so the colors get lost here because colors#8 overwrites the
xterm+direct entry.

>From terminfo:
tmux|tmux terminal multiplexer,
        invis=\E[8m, rmso=\E[27m,
        sgr=\E[0%?%p6%t;1%;%?%p2%t;4%;%?%p1%p3%|%t;7%;%?%p4%t;5%;%?
            %p5%t;2%;%?%p7%t;8%;m%?%p9%t\016%e\017%;,
        smso=\E[7m, E3=\E[3J, Smulx=\E[4:%p1%dm,
        use=ecma+italics, use=ecma+strikeout, use=xterm+edit,
        use=xterm+pcfkeys, use=xterm+sl, use=xterm+tmux,
        use=screen, use=bracketed+paste, use=report+version,
        use=xterm+focus,

I looked at the 'use' and some of them are empty (which makes me think
NetBSD's infocmp or terminfo are missing more features) and then I
found:

# Reconstructed from /usr/share/misc/terminfo.cdb
screen|VT 100/ANSI X3.64 virtual terminal,
        am, km, mir, msgr, xenl,
        colors#8, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, pairs#64,
...

So it looks to me like the 'colors' from the 'screen' entry via the
'tmux' entry overwrite the colors defined by 'xterm+direct'.

When I run infocmp from ncurses 6.4, I get a different output for
tmux-direct:

# /usr/pkg/bin/infocmp tmux-direct
#       Reconstructed via infocmp from file: 
/usr/pkg/share/terminfo/t/tmux-direct
tmux-direct|tmux with direct-color indexing,
        am, hs, km, mir, msgr, xenl,
        colors#0x7fff, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, pairs#0x7fff,

        u8=\E[?1;2c, u9=\E[c, vpa=\E[%i%p1%dd,

which does not offer 1677216 colors, but more than 8.
(xterm-direct analyzed this way also only reports

xterm-direct|xterm with direct-color indexing,
...
    colors#0x7fff, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, pairs#0x7fff,
...
)

So this looks like ncurses terminfo handling when 'use'ing other
entries is different than what NetBSD's is doing.

Does this look correct? Then it'd be time for a bug report...
