Summary: less doesn't query terminal size through serial
connection.
Product: Busybox
Version: 1.17.x
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5
Component: Other
AssignedTo: unassigned at busybox.net
ReportedBy: rob at landley.net
CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
Estimated Hours: 0.0
If I run vi in an envioronment where the TTY doesn't know the screen size (such
as a serial console, or qemu's /dev/console with -nographic) it uses the ANSI
terminal size querying escape sequence to figure out how big the screen is.
The xterm (or similar) at the other end replies with an escape sequence, and
all is well.
But less always gives me a height of 25 lines, it doesn't even try to query
when the TTY doesn't know the size, even though we've got code for it
elsewhere.
