Re: TERM Name Gets Corrupted

[Ilya Petrov]

I got overridden getenv and got some output in a browser, it looks like:

�(B�)0�[1;3r�[m��[?7h�[H�[JHello World !!!

Is it because browser doesn't have a tty and doesn't interpret special characters?

Details here: https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/issues/6766#issuecomment-402068383

I really want to run some simple ncurses app in a browser just for fun of it.

What should I read and where to start to get this happen?

Best regards,

Ilya.

As you may have seen I've created a request to support reentrant getenv in emscripten: https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/issues/6778

You may help by adding some persuading wording to my request.

Thank you,

Ilya.
