EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING returns its argument instead of storing it
in a parameter, and is renamed to EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT. Similar
things happen to related macros. See entry in src/ChangeLog.
More Mule-izing of postgresql.c. Extract out common code
between `pq-connectdb' and `pq-connect-start'. Fix places
that signal an error string using a formatted string to instead
follow the standard and have a fixed reason followed by the
particular error message stored as one of the frobs.

Changes involving external/internal format conversion,
mostly code cleanup and renaming.
1. Eliminate the previous macros like LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL
that stored its result in a parameter. The new version of
LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL returns its result through the
return value, same as the previous NEW_LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL.
Use the new-style macros throughout the code.
2. Rename C_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL and friends to ITEXT_TO_EXTERNAL,
in keeping with overall naming rationalization involving
Itext and related types.
Macros involved in previous two:
EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING -> EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT
EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING_MALLOC -> EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT_MALLOC
SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING -> SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT
SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING_MALLOC -> SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT_MALLOC
C_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL -> ITEXT_TO_EXTERNAL
C_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL_MALLOC -> ITEXT_TO_EXTERNAL_MALLOC
LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL
LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL_MALLOC
LISP_STRING_TO_TSTR
C_STRING_TO_TSTR -> ITEXT_TO_TSTR
TSTR_TO_C_STRING -> TSTR_TO_ITEXT
The following four still return their values through parameters,
since they have more than one value to return:
C_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL -> ITEXT_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL
LISP_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL
C_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL_MALLOC -> ITEXT_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL_MALLOC
LISP_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL_MALLOC
Sometimes additional casts had to be inserted, since the old
macros played strange games and completely defeated the type system
of the store params.
3. Rewrite many places where direct calls to TO_EXTERNAL_FORMAT
occurred with calls to one of the convenience macros listed above,
or to make_extstring().
4. Eliminate SIZED_C_STRING macros (they were hardly used, anyway)
and use a direct call to TO_EXTERNAL_FORMAT or TO_INTERNAL_FORMAT.
4. Use LISP_PATHNAME_CONVERT_OUT in many places instead of something
like LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL(..., Qfile_name).
5. Eliminate some temporary variables that are no longer necessary
now that we return a value rather than storing it into a variable.
6. Some Mule-izing in database.c.
7. Error functions:
-- A bit of code cleanup in maybe_signal_error_1.
-- Eliminate report_file_type_error; it's just an alias for
signal_error_2 with params in a different order.
-- Fix some places in the hostname-handling code that directly
inserted externally-retrieved error strings into the
supposed ASCII "reason" param instead of doing the right thing
and sticking text descriptive of what was going on in "reason"
and putting the external message in a frob.
8. Use Ascbyte instead of CIbyte in process-unix.c and maybe one
or two other places.
9. Some code cleanup in copy_in_passwd() in sysdep.c.
10. Fix a real bug due to accidental variable shadowing in
tstr_to_local_file_format() in win32.c.

| 0 | 1 This directory contains files of elisp that customize Emacs for certain |
| 2 terminal types. | |
| 3 | |
| 4 When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM environment variable to see what type | |
| 5 of terminal the user is running on, checks for an elisp file named | |
| 6 "term/${TERM}.el", and if one exists, loads it. If that doesn't yield a file | |
| 7 that exists, the last hyphen and what follows it is stripped. If that doesn't | |
| 8 yield a file that exists, the previous hyphen is stripped, and so on until all | |
| 9 hyphens are gone. For example, if the terminal type is `aaa-48-foo', Emacs | |
| 10 will try first `term/aaa-48-foo.el', then `term/aaa-48.el' and finally | |
| 11 `term/aaa.el'. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 When writing terminal packages, there are some things it is good to keep in | |
| 14 mind. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 First, about keycap names. Your terminal package can create any keycap | |
| 17 cookies it likes, but there are good reasons to stick to the set recognized by | |
| 18 the X-windows code whenever possible. The key symbols recognized by Emacs | |
| 19 are listed in src/term.c; look for the string `keys' in that file. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 For one thing, it means that you'll have the same Emacs key bindings on in | |
| 22 terminal mode as on an X console. If there are differences, you can bet | |
| 23 they'll frustrate you after you've forgotten about them. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 For another, the X keysms provide a standard set of names that Emacs knows | |
| 26 about. It tries to bind many of them to useful things at startup, before your | |
| 27 .emacs is read (so you can override them). In some ways, the X keysym standard | |
| 28 is a admittedly poor one; it's incomplete, and not well matched to the set of | |
| 29 `virtual keys' that UNIX terminfo(3) provides. But, trust us, the alternatives | |
| 30 were worse. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 This doesn't mean that if your terminal has a "Cokebottle" key you shouldn't | |
| 33 define a [cokebottle] keycap. But if you must define cookies that aren't in | |
| 34 that set, try to pattern them on the standard terminfo variable names for | |
| 35 clarity; also, for a fighting chance that your binding may be useful to someone | |
| 36 else someday. | |
| 37 | |
| 38 For example, if your terminal has a `find' key, observe that terminfo | |
| 39 supports a key_find capability and call your cookie [key-find]. | |
| 40 | |
| 41 Here is a complete list, with corresponding X keysyms. | |

| 151 (1) The terminfo documentation says this may be the 'insert character' or | |
| 152 `enter insert mode' key. Accordingly, key_ic is mapped to the `insertchar' | |
| 153 keysym if there is also a key_dc key; otherwise it's mapped to `insert'. | |
| 154 The presumption is that keyboards with `insert character' keys usually | |
| 155 have `delete character' keys paired with them. | |
| 156 | |
| 157 (2) If there is no key_next key but there is a key_npage key, key_npage | |
| 158 will be bound to the `next' keysym. If there is no key_previous key but | |
| 159 there is a key_ppage key, key_ppage will be bound to the `previous' keysym. | |
| 160 | |
| 161 (3) Sorry, these are not exact but they're the best we can do. | |
| 162 | |
| 163 (4) The uses of the "k0" capability are inconsistent; sometimes it | |
| 164 describes F10, whereas othertimes it describes F0 and "k;" describes F10. | |
| 165 Emacs attempts to politely accommodate both systems by testing for | |
| 166 "k;", and if it is present, assuming that "k0" denotes F0, otherwise F10. | |
| 167 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 168 | |
| 169 The following X keysyms do *not* have terminfo equivalents. These are | |
| 170 the cookies your terminal package will have to set up itself, if you want them: | |
| 171 | |
| 172 break | |
| 173 system | |
| 174 user | |
| 175 kp-backtab | |
| 176 kp-space | |
| 177 kp-tab | |
| 178 kp-f1 | |
| 179 kp-f2 | |
| 180 kp-f3 | |
| 181 kp-f4 | |
| 182 kp-multiply | |
| 183 kp-add | |
| 184 kp-separator | |
| 185 kp-subtract | |
| 186 kp-decimal | |
| 187 kp-divide | |
| 188 kp-0 | |
| 189 kp-2 | |
| 190 kp-4 | |
| 191 kp-6 | |
| 192 kp-8 | |
| 193 kp-equal | |
| 194 | |
| 195 In general, you should not bind any of the standard keysym names to | |
| 196 functions in a terminal package. There's code in loaddefs.el that does that; | |
| 197 the less people make exceptions to that, the more consistent an interface Emacs | |
| 198 will have across different keyboards. Those exceptions should go in your | |
| 199 .emacs file. | |

| 201 Finally, if you're using a USL UNIX or a Sun box or anything else with the | |
| 202 USL version of curses(3) on it, bear in mind that the original curses(3) had | |
| 203 (and still has) a very much smaller set of keycaps. In fact, the reliable | |
| 204 ones were just the arrow keys and the first ten function keys. If you care | |
| 205 about making your package portable to older Berkeley machines, don't count on | |
| 206 the setup code to bind anything else. | |
| 207 | |
| 208 If your terminal's arrow key sequences are so funky that they conflict with | |
| 209 normal Emacs key bindings, the package should set up a function called | |
| 210 (enable-foo-arrow-keys), where `foo' becomes the terminal name, and leave | |
| 211 it up to the user's .emacs file whether to call it. | |
| 212 | |
| 213 Before writing a terminal-support package, it's a good idea to read the | |
| 214 existing ones and learn the common conventions. |
