https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285459 --- Comment #1 from Alfonso S. Siciliano <asiciliano@FreeBSD.org> --- Probably the PR is to document alternate screen in some handbooks, is it right? Anyway you are right. I wrote in bsddialog.1: > --alternate-screen > If available set alternate screen mode, see terminfo(5). terminfo(5) mentions nothing about "alternate screen". I updated https://gitlab.com/alfix/bsddialog/-/commit/ac6ed0e7863fa51b39293275e7d3fb7194fb0a9c: > --alternate-screen > Set alternate screen mode if the terminal and curses(3) provide > it. If enabled bsddialog draws to the alternate screen and > restores the main screen after exit. See “smcup” in terminfo(5). I hope it is user-friendly. Otherwise, feel free to let me know how I can improve. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
