Details:
Sadrul, I would like to thank you for expanding the license command to show
some of the capabilites that have been compiled into any particular version or
distribution of screen. I want to take advantage of this further. I wrote some
addition documentation to explain where to look when referencing about
compiling screen ("See license command"), but also I tried to expand what
capabilities were shown by adding more ifdef's to help.c. Overall, I thought
this would help users learn how capable their particular binaries were but
also might help developers learn what a user might be up against when trying
to explain a bug.
The one thing this patch is not working on is the displaying the value of
MAXWIN inside help.c. I thought the C preprocessor should pick this up and
replace it accordingly. The string is a static const char[]. I don't
understand enough about C strings to know if the preprocessor pays attention
to that or not. I tried adding extra code like:
static char maxwinstr[10];
sprintf(maxwinstr, "%d", MAXWIN);
but that wasn't working for me either.
If this patch is acceptable, I'd like to learn what I'm not doing right.
Thanks in advance.
