TERMIFY(1)

NAME
termify - convert dynamically linked binaries for term use

SYNOPSIS
termify [-u] <command name> [<command name> ...]

DESCRIPTION
Termify converts dynamically linked binaries for term use by changing the name of the standard library from libc.so.4 to libt.so.4. Both libraries should be installed in /lib.

OPTION
There is only one option accepted by termify.

-u  Specifies termify should undo a previous conversion.

USAGE
Termify will take the specified command, and create a termified binary with the correct permissions in the current directory. For example,

termify /bar/foo

will create

./termfoo

If you are satisfied that the program works correctly, then you can replace the original. i.e.

mv /bar/foo /bar/foo.orig; ln -s `pwd`/termfoo /bar/foo

Not all programs will work 100% like the original. For example, termtalk can not be used to talk with someone on the same machine while term is running. Please send me a list of any programs which work 100% correctly, and those which don't so I can make a list of things to fix.

CAVEATS
Programs converted for term use with termify do not use libtermnet.so.*. Thus, you must build a new libt.so.4 each time you upgrade term versions. Hopefully this will be fixed with a future release of termify.
