pen_recorder - on screen pen recorder
pen_recorder <argument
list>
This program is an 24 channel on screen pen recorder. Only
one copy may be started on each host.
Argument processing is done
using Unix long argument syntax
The values of all the parameters listed
here (whether or not they were supplied on the command line) are printed
on stderr when the program starts.
- --color_tbl <fn>
Pathname to the color table file. - --color_tbl2 <fn>
Pathname to the color table file used when color is reversed. - --def_path <pn>
pathname to the directory used to load default setups.
Setups in this directory
can’t be overwritten by the user.
- --user_path <pn>
pathname to the directory used to load and save user defined setups.
Setups
in this directory can be overwritten by the user.
The setups may be protected
from being overwritten by setting them to be read only in the file system.
If this is not set the user will be unable to save setups.
- --user_help <fn>
pathname to a site specific help file.
This file will be loaded in addition
to the program’s help file and additional items will appear on the help
menu.
- --show_tbl
print various table’s information to stderr. - --show_env
print settings of environment vars used by program to stderr - --diag_menu
Enable the diagnostic menu. This gives access to internal table information.
- --verbose
Normally the program does it’s work silently. This causes it to print several
messages on startup. - --help
print the help info to stderr and exit.
There are two directories
where pen recorder setups may be restored from. Each directory contains
a maximum of 30 possible setups. The files are named trend_saveXX where
XX is the setup number.
The directory specified by the --data_path argument
contains setups which may be loaded. The program doesn’t allow setups to
be saved in this directory.
The directory specified by the --user_path argument
contains setups which may be loaded or saved.
The idea is the the --data_path
directory allows permanent setups to be created when the system is configured
and the --user_path directory allows new ones to be created by the users
of the system.
The easiest way to create setups for the --data_path directory
is to create and save a setup in the --user_path directory and copy it to
the --data_path directory.
- TREND_COLOR_TBL
pathname to file containing the color information. See trend_color(5)
for
information about the format. - TREND_COLOR_TBL2
pathname to file containing the color information to use when the display
colors are flipped by using the prefernces menu command. See trend_color(5)
for information about the format.
#!/bin/sh
export TREND_COLOR_TBL=./trend_color.dat
export TREND_COLOR_TBL2=./trend_color_rev.dat
pen_recorder
sending SIGHUP to the program makes it dump internal
state information to stderr.
The example shown above isn’t very good....
