Correct, >> in the documentation portal For end users: * a conceptual introduction in the FreeBSD Handbook * plus, ideally, <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/faq/>; (something very brief, linking to the Handbook). No mention of pseudo-terminals anywhere in the Handbook. <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/serialcomms/#term>; might be a good place. <https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1dxd7bm/term_alternate_screen_buffer_xterm256color/mkg40m8/?context=1>; includes three quotes from a discussion in Matrix. If you have a Matrix ID, the full discussion is a good example of confusion, part of which was lack of awareness of the alternate screen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
