NAME

       bterm - framebuffer terminal emulator

SYNOPSIS

       bterm -f font.bgf [-s scale] [-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.

       -s scale
              Specify the font scale factor, 0 for auto.

       -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.
