>Description:
FreeBSD systems support SIGINFO, which is great. When you press the
c_cc[VSTATUS] character on your keyboard, it sends a SIGINFO to the
foreground process in the terminal, which will print some nice status
messages.
This works by default on the regular FreeBSD consoles, but not in xterm,
because xterm unsets this flag on startup. This patch will hopefully be
integrated in xterm #231. I sent this patch to Thomas Dickey, to which
he replied positively.
>How-To-Repeat:
Log in to a regular FreeBSD console and do this:
| sleep 10
| ^T
You'll get some fancy messages in the terminal. Now do exactly that in
an xterm and it will just print '^T'.
