HP(1,C) AIX Commands Reference HP(1,C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hp PURPOSE Handles special functions for the HP2640- and HP2621-series terminals. SYNTAX +--------+ hp ---| +----+ |---| +-| -e |-+ ^| -m || |+----+| +------+ Note: This command does not have MBCS support. DESCRIPTION The hp command reads standard input (usually output from the nroff), and writes to standard output, which is usually Hewlett-Packard 2640- and 2621-series terminal displays. If your terminal has the display enhancement feature, you can display subscripts and superscripts. With the mathematical symbol feature, you can display Greek and other special characters, with two exceptions: the hp command approximates the logical operator NOT with a right arrow and it only shows the top half of the integral sign. For overstrike characters (characters followed by a backspace and another character), if either character is an underscore character, the other appears underlined or in inverse video depending on terminal enhancements. Note: Some sequences of control characters (reverse line-feeds and backspaces) can make text disappear from the display. Tables with vertical lines generated by the tbl command are often missing lines of text containing the bottom of a vertical line. You can avoid these problems by first piping the input through the col, and then piping through the hp command. FLAGS -e Displays overstruck characters underlined, superscripts in half-bright, and subscripts half-bright underlined. Otherwise, all overstruck characters, subscripts, and superscripts appear in inverse video (dark-on-light). Use this flag only if your display has the display enhancements feature.
