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?

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.

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)

fvwmconsole
FvwmConsole(1) Fvwm Modules FvwmConsole(1)NAME
FvwmConsole - an fvwm command input interface
SYNOPSIS
Module FvwmConsole [options]
FvwmConsole can only be invoked by fvwm. Command line invocation of the FvwmConsole module will not work.
DESCRIPTION
FvwmConsole allows the user to type fvwm configuration commands interactively, and have them executed immediately. This tool is particu-
larly useful for testing new configuration ideas, or for implementing temporary changes to your environment.
INVOCATION
FvwmConsole must be spawned as a module by fvwm. FvwmConsole takes all xterm(1) options.
FvwmConsole can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmConsole' in the .fvwm2rc file. This can be placed on a line by itself, if
FvwmConsole is to be spawned during fvwm's initialization, or can be bound to a menu or mouse button or keystroke to invoke it later.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmConsole uses xterm(1). All resources set for xterm are inherited unless overridden by command line options.
Module FvwmConsole -g 40x10 -fg black -bg green3
A different terminal emulator can be specified with the -terminal option. However, only terminal programs that understand the options
-name, -title and -e can be used.
Module FvwmConsole -terminal rxvt
Previous versions of FvwmConsole supported a -e option to choose a different front-end. Although this option is still provided for back-
wards compatibility its use is discouraged unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Module FvwmConsole -e FvwmConsoleC.pl
(see FvwmConsoleC.pl(1)).
Also X resources can be set in your ~/.Xdefaults file:
FvwmConsole*VT100*geometry: 40x4
FvwmConsole*font: 7x14
COMMAND EDITING
There are a few options. If the GNU readline library is available, it can be used.
If Perl5 is installed, FvwmConsoleC.pl can be used as a command editor. This can be accomplished by either copying FvwmConsoleC.pl to
fvwmlib directory as FvwmConsoleC or invoking FvwmConsole with -e option. For example:
Module FvwmConsole -e FvwmConsoleC.pl
If neither one is installed, a simple input reading function which doesn't have editing capabilities is used.
GNU readline and FvwmConsoleC.pl have some frequent used commands in common as default. These commands are similar to emacs. For more
details, refer GNU readline man and info pages, and FvwmConsoleC.pl man page.
Ctrl-A - beginning of line
Ctrl-B - previous char
Ctrl-D - delete char
Ctrl-E - end of line
Ctrl-F - next char
Ctrl-H - backspace
Ctrl-K - erase to the end of line
Ctrl-N - next line
Ctrl-P - previous line
Ctrl-R - search reverse
Ctrl-U - delete line
Meta-B - previous word
Meta-F - next word
Esc < - beginning of history
Esc > - end of history
EXITING
FvwmConsole can be stopped by entering the EOF character (usually CTRL-D).
Note! Do not use the "quit" command, as this is an fvwm builtin: typing "quit" at the FvwmConsole command line will cause fvwm to exit.
