.TH DIS 1 SHARE .SH NAME dis \- display input as refreshed page on VDU output .SH SYNOPSIS .B dis .RB [ -t timeout] .RB [ -c refresh] .SH DESCRIPTION .I Dis looks up the terminal capability database for the characteristics of the device represented by the environment variable "TERM". Assuming that the standard input consists of repetitive pages, .I Dis then uses cursor addressing to write changed data only on its standard output. Pages are delimited by a .I form-feed or by a timeout, if requested. .PP The timeout is specified by the flag \fB-t\fR followed by a number representing seconds. .PP If the .B -c flag is specified, the screen is completely redrawn every .I refresh updates. .SH EXAMPLES (while true; do date; echo '\\f\\c'; sleep 10; done)|dis .SH FILES /etc/termcap .SH SEE ALSO termlib(3), or curses(3). .SH DIAGNOSTICS If your terminal doesn't have cursor addressing.
