| 4 | .SH SYNOPSIS
|
|---|
| 5 | .B screendump
|
|---|
| 6 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 7 | .B Screendump
|
|---|
| 8 | prints the contents of the console screen to standard output. It does this
|
|---|
| 9 | by reading the screen memory, skipping over attribute bytes, omitting
|
|---|
| 10 | trailing blanks and inserting a newline character at the end of each line.
|
|---|
| 11 | .SH NOTES
|
|---|
| 12 | The most common use of
|
|---|
| 13 | .BR screendump
|
|---|
| 14 | is with output redirected to a file. This allows screen displays (including
|
|---|
| 15 | output of F-keys) to be captured for inclusion in other documents.
|
|---|
| 16 | .PP
|
|---|
| 17 | This version is for IBM-PC architecture only.
|
|---|
| 18 | .SH BUGS
|
|---|
| 19 | A network user captures an image of the main console, not his or her own
|
|---|
| 20 | screen. The output will usually not be what you expect if the display is in
|
|---|
| 21 | hardware scrolling mode, since in that mode the order of the lines in screen
|
|---|
| 22 | memory may not be the same as what appears on the screen.
|
|---|
| 23 | If you expect to use
|
|---|
| 24 | .BR screendump
|
|---|
| 25 | to send notes to someone about problems that occur while using
|
|---|
| 26 | .BR MINIX
|
|---|
| 27 | you must remember to toggle to software scrolling before you make the dump.
|
|---|
| 28 | It will also be necessary to use
|
|---|
| 29 | .BR su ,
|
|---|
| 30 | because
|
|---|
| 31 | .BR /dev/mem
|
|---|
| 32 | is normally not world readable.
