setterm -dump N will dump the contents of the
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
screen of /dev/ttyN to a file screen.dump
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
in the current directory. See setterm(1).
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
The current contents of the screen of /dev/ttyN
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
can be accessed using the device /dev/vcsN
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
(where `vcs' stands for `virtual console screen').
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
For example, you could have a clock program that displays the
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
current time in the upper right hand corner of the console screen
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
(see the program vcstime in kbd-1.04.tar.gz).
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
Just dumping the contents goes with cat /dev/vcsN.
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
These device files /dev/vcsN do not contain
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
newlines, and do not contain attributes, like colors. From a program
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
it is usually better to use /dev/vcsaN
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
(`virtual console screen with attributes') instead - it starts with
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
a header giving the number of rows and columns and the location
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
of the cursor.
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
See vcs(4).
