The following new mapping flags are added:
INLCRNL: Map NL to CR-NL on input.
ODELBS: Map DEL to BS on output.
Flags requested and tested by Jan Ciger (janoc).
Add a --map option which allows to map special characters, in particular CR and
NL characters which are used in various combinations on varios platforms.
A new key command "ctrl-t i" is added to allow the user to display the
various session settings information (baudrate, databits, log file, etc.).
This is usefull in case you have a running session but have forgotten
what the settings are.
Don't needlessly copy command-line arguments into fixed-size buffers.
Previously the program crashed if an overlong pathname was provided on
the command line. Also, some systems (such as GNU Hurd) don't define
MAXPATHLEN at all.
After renaming to "tio" it makes sense to change the escape key
accordingly. Hence, the new escape key is ^t.
Meaning, in session, its now ctrl-t + q to quit.
Renamed to "tio" because it is shorter and this new name also more
precisely reflects what the program is - a simple TTY terminal I/O
application.
"tio" can be considered short for terminal I/O or TTY I/O or a
combination of the two, whichever you prefer.
Also, wanted to avoid naming conflicts with other projects.
