entry which the name "screen.$TERM" does exist. Look in the
154
"VIRTUAL TERMINAL" section of the manual for more details.

169
screen 3.0 Patchlevel 6
170
=======================
171
172
.screenrc:
173
screen now only opens the windows you explicitly ask for. if you
174
specify none, you still get one window, of course.
175
176
screen 3.0. Patchlevel 5
177
========================
178
179
Ansi prototyping by Christos.
180

copy mode: CTRL-U / CTRL-D exchanged. code cleanup.
182
183
changes to screen 3.0 patchlevel 4
184
==================================
185
186
markkeys "string"
187
allows to rebind the keys used in copy/history mode.
188
string is made up of pairs "<oldchar>=<newchar>" which are separated
189
by a colon. Oldchar and newchar are either single ascii characters,
190
or the two character sequence ^x, where x is an ascii character, or
191
a 3 digit octal value prepended with '\'. the string "\040=.:^M=q"
192
rebinds '.' to set marks, and the return rey will abort copy mode.
193
194
set scrollback 100
195
resizes the scrollback history buffer to 100 lines. a default of 50
196
is installed.
197
198
A Howard Chu like scrollback history is installed. Many vi-like keys
199
are added to the copy mode. The '?' key reports on cursor position.
200
201

216
217
.screenrc
218
monitor on|off
219
220
changes in Screen 3.0 Patchlevel 1
221
==================================
222
223
screen -wipe
224
225
^A : set vbell_msg "Wuff Wuff"
226
227
Thousand enhancements: help resizible, copy'n'paste in main
228
socket loop, and no more '\0' hackin'. :WS=\E8;%d;%dt:
229
230
screen can now resize windows under sunview.
231
232
^A : set crlf on|off
233
effects markroutine join.
234
235
screen learned about sized windows under X
236
237
screen -ls (-d) -q
238
quiet option. We count the number of detached (attached) sessions and set
239
a return value of 10+n. The -q option inhibits all startup
240
warnings/messages. i.e. screen -R -q may return with code 12 or higher
241
or start a new/old session.
242
243
pow_detach_msg "text string"
244
new command, allows messages, terminal reset, etc. on logout caused
245
by pow_detach.
246
247
^A : learned a new keyword "set":
248
commands like "login on" , "vbell off", ... affect the default for
249
windows to be created. But commands like "set login off" affect
250
the actual setting of this window. and not the default.
251
such commands may be bound to keys. example:
252
bind 'O' set login off
253
is valid in your .screenrc as well as typed at the ':' prompt.
254
a bonus is ":set all" which is synonym to ":help".
255
At the Colon prompt also KeyNames can be entered, alothough that makes
256
not always sense.
257
258
^A x uses a builtin lockprg, if
259
a) we don't find our lockprg, or
260
b) user supplies us with the environmet variable LOCKPRG set to "builtin"
261
the builtin locks until your login password is typed. on systems using
262
"shadow password files" you are prompted for a password.
263
264
markroutine can append joined.
265
266
screen removes the "controlling tty" from utmp while ptys are attached.
267
268
markroutine performs CR+NL when '\n' is pressed
269
270
screen may die quietly, when no TERMCAP entry for "screen" is
271
found, and screen is run under X-windows
272
273
_SEQUENT_ marks sequent386_ptx
274
275
screen runs now under SunOS4.1.1 (we need setsid()!).
276
277
bug in SetForeWindow fixed.
278
279
rare markroutine bug fixed.
280
281
we dont open every file the attacher tells us.
282
283
we have now our wonderful "Wuff, Wuff" visual_bell
284
285
we have now the interprocess-communication-buffer. secure version.
286
287
'^A =' removes the interprocess-communication-buffer.
288
289
markroutine as in 2.1
290
291
markroutine: 'a' toggles append mode,
292
'>' like ' ', but immediately WriteFile(DUMP_EXCHANGE) then.
293
'A' like ' ', but first switch to append mode.
294
295
.screenrc understands "screen 2:faui09 rlogin faui09 -l jnweiger"
296
and "password none"
297
and "vbell [on|off]"
298
299
'^A :' allows .screenrc commands "online".
300
301
screen now receives new $TERM from attacher, when it is reattached
302
303
MakeClientSocket() fifo version does now test for access.
304
305
.screenrc learns "hardstatus {on|off}"
306
307
termcap's VB is used for vbell if available.
308
309
Attach() code rewritten:
310
screen now lists socket directory, if it does not find a suitable socket
311
screen -d [host.tty] detaches a running screen.
312
313
screen -[ls|list]
314
list all sockets that we find in our sockdir
315
316
when the socket has been removed, send a SIGCHLD to the poor SCREEN
317
process and it will try to recover. then try a 'screen -r' again.
318
all the socket stuff lives now in an extra file.
319
320
Major changes in version 2.4:
321
=============================
322
323
* Test version that presents the erlangen extensions from 2.0 in a 2.3
324
screen.
325
326
* window resize support
327
328
* screen locking C-a x
329
330
* support for SYSV
331
332
* password protection
333
334
* copy & paste across screens
335
336
* remote detach and power detach
337
338
Major changes in version 2.3:
339
340
* Terminal emulation has been significantly enhanced and bugfixed.
341
342
* We now fully update the last character on the screen for true auto-
343
margin terminals, though there may be some delay before the character
344
can be safely added to the screen. If your terminal has character
345
insert it will be used to shorten the delay.
346
347
* Added the "termcap" .screenrc command to tweak your terminal's termcap
348
entry AND to customize the termcap generated for the virtual terminals.
349
See also the -L and -O command-line options, and the SCREENCAP environ-
350
ment variable.
351
352
* Fixed screen's character handling when detached or suspended to NOT block
353
the child processes in their windows -- output continues to be processed
354
in the background.
355
356
* Added a.k.a.s (window-name aliases) that allow you to customize the
357
window-information line, including being able to change the name on-
358
the-fly to reflect what's currently running in the window (see the
359
-k option, shellaka command, and ALSO KNOWN AS discussion in the doc).
360
361
* Added the ability to log the output of a window to a file (see the
362
"C-a H" (log) command).
363
364
* Flow-control can now be set for each window and switched interactively
365
(see the "flow" command, -f option, and FLOW CONTROL discussion).
366
367
* Individual windows can be included or excluded from mention in the
368
/etc/utmp file (see the "login" command and -l option).
369
370
* Added an activity monitor, which allows you to have a window watched for
371
the start of any output and alert you when it occurs (see the "C-a M"
372
(monitor) command).
373
374
* Enhanced the information in the window-information line to keep track of
375
windows that have: logging turned on '(L)'; beeped in the background '!';
376
became active while being monitored '@' (see the "C-a w" (windows) command).
377
378
* Added an on-line help display that lists all the commands and their
379
key bindings (see the "C-a ?" (help) command).
380
381
* Extended handling of the beep message (and also the new activity message)
382
to allow '~' to specify a literal beep (see the "beep" and "activity"
383
.screenrc commands).
384
385
* You can now set the default action on receipt of a hangup signal: detach
386
or terminate (see the "autodetach" .screenrc command).
387
388
* Routing of characters to their virtual terminals has been enhanced to
389
not drop characters nor (in rare circumstances) hang up screen.
390
391
* The NFS compatibility has been enhanced.
392
393
Major changes in version 2.0a:
394
395
* Screen allows you to `detach' the "screen" session from the physical
396
terminal and resume it at a later point in time (possibly on a
397
different terminal or in a different login session).
398
399
To get an impression of this functionality do the following:
400
401
- call "screen" and create a couple of windows
402
- type Control-A Control-D (screen terminates; you are back
403
in the shell)
404
- call "screen -r" to resume the detached screen
405
406
* Screen supports multiple character sets and the ISO 2022 control
407
functions to designate and switch between character sets.
408
This allows you, for instance, to make use of the VT100 graphics
409
character set or national character sets.
