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.
