SCREENDUMP(8) Minix Programmer's Manual SCREENDUMP(8)

|
NAME
|
|
screendump - write current console screen to standard output
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
screendump
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Screendump prints the contents of the console screen to standard output.
|
|
It does this by reading the screen memory, skipping over attribute bytes,
|
|
omitting trailing blanks and inserting a newline character at the end of
|
|
each line.
|
|
|
|
NOTES
|
|
The most common use of screendump is with output redirected to a file.
|
|
This allows screen displays (including output of F-keys) to be captured
|
|
for inclusion in other documents.
|
|
|
|
This version is for IBM-PC architecture only.
|
|
|
|
BUGS
|
|
A network user captures an image of the main console, not his or her own
|
|
screen. The output will usually not be what you expect if the display is
|
|
in hardware scrolling mode, since in that mode the order of the lines in
|
|
screen memory may not be the same as what appears on the screen. If you
|
|
expect to use screendump to send notes to someone about problems that
|
|
occur while using MINIX you must remember to toggle to software scrolling
|
|
before you make the dump. It will also be necessary to use su, because
|
|
/dev/mem is normally not world readable.
