GNU screen
Hello,
One of the things I like about screen is that it has a scrollback buffer, which if you go into the copy mode, will let you go back for a specified number of line. Is there a way to extend the number of scrollback lines in screen? I've looked thoroughly online and I could not find a solution short of going to the source code of screen and tweaking it.
Thanks,
Neked

DMXAddScreen(3) Library Functions Manual DMXAddScreen(3)
NAME
DMXAddScreen - attach a new back-end screen
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>
Bool DMXAddScreen(Display *dpy,
const char *displayName,
unsigned int mask,
DMXScreenAttributes *attr,
int *screen);
DESCRIPTION
DMXAddScreen() attaches a back-end screen to the Xdmx(1) server, in place of the previously detached back-end server specified by screen.
displayName is the name of the new back-end display, mask specifies the field in attr that are active, and screen returns the new Xdmx(1)
screen number for the attached screen.
The information stored in mask and attr is identical to that used by the DMXChangeScreensAttributes(3) and DMXGetScreenAttributes(3)
functions.
RETURN VALUE
DMXAddScreen() will return True if the screen was successfully attached, and False otherwise. False will be returned if the -addremove-
screens command line option was not specified on the Xdmx(1) command line, the input value of screen is out of range, screen is not cur-
rently detached, displayName cannot be opened, has unexpected visuals, or has characteristics that do not match the previously detached
screen.
DMXAddScreen() can generate BadLength, BadAlloc, and BadValue errors.
NOTES
Attributes that are not specified will default to 0. This may lead to unintended results.
Unlike other functions in the DMX(3) API, this function uses screen for both input and output.
