This isn't really just a window system issue; the current "termios" proposal avoids referring to it as a "window" size. One could imagine features, such as end-of-"page" pauses in the TTY driver, that would use this information even on dumb terminals. > By the way, I think both "get" and "set" operations should be standardized, > and the standard should state that both ioctls must work on both sides of > the pty. (This assumes we can appropriately specify what a "pty" is.) The "set" operation is in the "termios" proposal; since "pty"s aren't, it doesn't say anything about whether the operation works on both sides or not. Volume-Number: Volume 7, Number 61
