Use the excellent tool of utmp[0] for this task. | |

+Some _random program_ complains that st is unknown/not | |
+recognised/unsupported/whatever! | |
+ | |
+It means that st doesn’t have any terminfo entry on your system. Chances are | |
+you did not make install. If you just want to test it without installing it, | |
+you can manualy run tic -s st.info in st dir. It will compile st.info into a | |
+fully working local terminfo description. You can delete it when you’re done. | |
+-- | |
+Nothing works, and nothing is said about an unknown terminal! | |
+ | |
+* Some programs just assume they’re running in xterm i.e. they don’t rely … | |
+ terminfo. What you see is the current state of the “xterm compliance”. | |
+* Some programs don’t complain about the lacking st description and default … | |
+ another terminal. In that case see the question about terminfo. | |
+-- | |
+I get some weird glitches/visual bug on _random program_! | |
+ | |
+Try lauching it with a different TERM: $ TERM=xterm myapp. toe(1) will give | |
+you a list of available terminals, but you’ll most likely switch between | |
+xterm, st or st-256color. The default value for TERM can be changed in | |
+config.h (TNAME). | |

+How do I scroll back up? | |
+ | |
+Invoke st with a screen multiplexer like GNU screen[0] or tmux[1]. | |
+st -e screen works better for text reflowing. To enter screen’s scroll | |
+back mode aka “copy mode”, it’s C-a ESC. You probably want defscrollback | |
+10000 in your ~/.screenrc too. | |
