Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Blog-Thread: Creating a Shell Wrapper and Runtime Modifier (SWARM) Post 303046344 by sea on Friday 1st of May 2020 11:27:25 AM
Old 05-01-2020
Allthough I've spent like 4 hours this morning trying to get my USB (or at least the iso of it) reckognized by FreeBSD via a VM, I didnt manage it..
Another 4 hours later, around 4:30pm, I stumpled about an old and forgotten man console_codes(4) while rewriting/adjusting the old TUI manpages to/for SWARM.

I wonder if I can figure how to get COLUMNS and LINES out of that - as the tput guy did.
What do you think, could I actualy save time by using console codes over tput?
Would they read 'from memory' instead of calling a physical file?

Basicly I just wanted to get rid of a dot - now I wonder if I should add some more variables... Smilie

At least I'm in the 'Lets write some manpages mood' now Smilie

EDIT
And to add a 'current time' joke:
Figured there is a pandemic going around, so I thought it is a good time for doc-days Smilie

Oh riiiiiiight... just so you know...
We're talking about ~50'ish manpages in total...
