NAME

       bterm - framebuffer terminal emulator

SYNOPSIS

       bterm -f font.bgf [-l locale] [program]

DESCRIPTION

       bterm  is  a  terminal  emulator  for  the  Linux  framebuffer.   It  supports multibyte locales and wide
       characters, in addition to basic terminal features such as cursor positioning.

OPTIONS

       -f font.bgf
              Specify the font.  BGF fonts are produced by bdftobogl(1) from standard BDF font files.

       -l locale
              Specify a locale for bterm and processes run within it.  The locale may also be specified normally
              in  the  environment.  If a locale, especially one with a different character set than the current
              locale, will be used inside of bterm, it should be specified on the command line.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0      Successful completion.

       1-125  Exit code from executed program

       127    Failed to exec program

       >=128  Program terminated by signal.

NOTES

       On Debian systems, one appropriate BDF font can be found in the bf-utf-source package.
