Its difficult to explain what I am exactly looking for, so let me try with an example..
Suppose my program prints out thousands lines. But once my program ends.. I am not able to scroll up and see all the 1000 lines. The size of the screen buffer is obviously limited. Is there anyway I can increase this size ?
Are you talking about a real or virtual console (e.g., such as you get on a Linux system with Ctrl-Alt-F1), or a terminal window (e.g., xterm or rxvt in X)?
If the latter, the terminal program probably has an option to set the buffer size; in xterm and rxvt, it's -sl NUM, where NUM is the number of lines you want to save. See your terminal's man page for more details.
In either a console or a terminal window, you can use typescript to save the session to a file, or you can use a pager such as [i/less[/i] or more to display the output of the command:
Code:
COMMAND | less
Or redirect the output of the command to a file:
Code:
COMMAND > FILE

If there is a way, then is there any harm in increasing the size?
Hi...
I am trying to read a binary data that have different types of messages of different lengths. I am using fread() but this functions needs the size and count to read the buffer from the file. I think this may cause that the buffer overlaps other messages.

When I checked with top command, I found tht my buffers are always 137M, which means that they are sort of overloaded. My Inactive memory is 520M. Is it possible to increaase the buffer size and what would be the command for that? (0 Replies)
The "top" command shows that my buffer size is always at 137M, which I think has reached to the maximum. However, Ido have lots of Inative memory? Is it possible to increae the buffer size? and what is the command for that? Further, this is the buffer for writing to the hard disk? (3 Replies)
Hi Group,
I am struggling to increase buffer size of expect,
sometimes after increasing the buffer size, expect captures all my expected output, sometimes not, :-(
I tried
match_max 700000
set expect_out(buffer) {}
Could anybody guide me for any solution.

:confused:Hi
This was installed on the Linux box a few weeks back by a guy that no longer works for us. All worked fine until last week. Now when we connect its just a blank screen with no icons.

Hi,
Can I find size of the file from size of the buffer written?
nbECRITS = fwrite(strstr(data->buffer, ";") + 1, sizeof(char), (data->buffsize) - LEN_NOM_FIC, fic_sortie);
Thank You :) (1 Reply)
Hello,
I would like to increase the size of my buffer in my xterm window. My shell is bash and my home directory is auto mounted. I'm on Solaris 10, RHEL 5 and SLES 11 servers. Do you know where I can do this? (4 Replies)

vte
vte(1) User Commands vte(1)NAME
vte - virtual terminal emulator
SYNOPSIS
vte [-2] [-A] [-a] [-B image] [-b] [-C] [-c command] [-D] [-d] [-f font] [-g] [-h] [-i] [-k] [-n] [-r] [-S] [-s] [-T] [-t terminal-type]
DESCRIPTION
vte is simply a window wrapped around the vte embeddable terminal emulation control, which does most of the work for gnome-terminal. vte is
used mainly to test the control. Most users do not need to use vte directly, but use gnome-terminal instead.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-2 Toggle double buffering. Enabled by default.
-A Toggle antialiasing. The default is that of the current GTK+ default.
-a Toggle audible bell on/off. If audible bell is enabled, visible bell is disabled. If audible bell is disabled, visible bell
is enabled. Audible bell enabled by default.
-B image Use image as background.
-b Toggle cursor blinking. Enabled by default.
-C Open a "console" connection.
-c command Fork the specified command.
-D Use dingus clicking: as the cursor moves over text matching a certain pattern, the matched text is highlighted and the cur-
sor changes shape. Disabled by default.
-d Toggle update debugging. Disabled by default.
-f font Specify the font to use. Default font is "Sans 12".
-g Toggle whether to set geometry hints if font is changed. Enabled by default.
-h Toggle highlighting. Disabled by default.
-i Toggle whether to obey attempts to set the icon name, if applications running in the terminal request this.
-k Toggle whether to keep program running after GTK main loop. Disabled by default.
-n Specify the number of scrollback lines. Minumum number of scrollback lines is 100. Default number of scrollback lines is
100.
-r Toggle whether to set cursor color to pale red. Disabled by default.
-S Toggle launching a shell. Enabled by default.
-s Toggle whether to scroll background image along with text. This option is only useful when combined with the -B option.
Disabled by default.
-T Use transparent background. Overrides the -B option.
-t terminal-typeSpecify the terminal type to emulate.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
vte is designed to emulate the xterm program provided by the X Consortium. In turn, xterm is an almost complete emulation of the DEC VT102
terminal. vte supports the same extensions to VT102 as those provided by xterm, through special escape sequences.
xterm is an evolving program. Recent changes to xterm have been been incorporated into vte. This includes emulation of the newer DEC VT220
escape sequences.
