Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-3
Severity: normal
The man page says:
-wipe [match]
does the same as "screen -ls", but removes destroyed
sessions instead of marking them as `dead'. An
unreachable session is considered dead, when its name
matches either the name of the local host, or the
explicitly given parameter, if any. See the -r flag for a
description how to construct matches.
But that code is actually conditional on SOCKDIR_IS_LOCAL_TO_HOST and
it's disabled:
/*
* Define this if the SOCKDIR is not shared between hosts.
*/
#define SOCKDIR_IS_LOCAL_TO_HOST
I mistakenly used -wipe on a system with an NFS-mounted $HOME; it removed
all my live screens from other hosts.
