[dev] suckless lacks pager?

2016-09-16 Thread Greg Reagle

a few gripes: atoi: personally I prefer strtol and range-checks on the result and/or errno. getenv(LINES) is a start, but you might also want to offer ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ) where available. always NULL-check the return value of getenv. what does your pager do on binary input and unexpected things? doe

Thanks to all who gave feedback. I made a few enhancements. Hopefully they're not bloat. I think it has significantly better functionality for only several more SLOC. Once again, looking for feedback. Also, do you suckless maintainers want to put this into sbase? It tries to get the size of t
