- Description:
- Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal
between several processes (typically interactive shells).
Each virtual terminal provides the functions of a DEC VT100 terminal and, in
addition, several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO
2022 standards (e.g. insert/delete line and support for multiple character
sets). There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a
copy-and-paste mechanism that allows moving text regions between windows.

sysutils/screen*: Use a 5.0.0 sample hardstatus line
The hardstatus parser was rewritten for 5.0 Use the new sample.
The old 4.9 sample no longers works under 5.0.
Note: There is a regression with the new hardstatus in 5.0.
A bug report has been submitted to upstream. This is the reason
5.0 was not made default sooner. |

sysutils/screen*: Fix off-by-one buffer overflow
FreeBSD ncurses, as of c8b9c85ee5bb, does a strncpy() of 1024 bytes into
a 1023 byte buffer supplied by screen. This section of code in ncurses
was removed in 61f66a1f4403, and is not a problem since 14.0-RELEASE.
But it is still a problem in 13-STABLE.
Thank you to dim@ for detailed analysis and initial patch to
sysutils/screen. The same patch is also applied to sysutils/screen-devel
this commit.
