Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.7-8
Severity: normal
slabtop -o doesn't show any output on xterm (and its emulators konsole
and gnome-terminal), but it works on the text console.
The reason seems to be that the endwin() call in slabtop.c erases the
output directly after it was printed, so that the user doesn't get to
see anything. To remove endwin() fixes the problem, however it leaves
the terminal in a different (bad?) state. I know nothing about ncurses,
but maybe there is a way to tweak it to deliver "plain" output and
refrain from erasing it upon endwin() ?
Otherwise, I think it is needed to separate the code flow of the -o
option from the rest and refrain from using ncurses for -o (which I
would be willing to implement in case it's approved by upstream).
Kind regards,
Thiemo Nagel
