Hello Xiaopan,
perhaps I misunderstood, but at least on recent version of Ubuntu, Raspbian
and OpenWrt you have:
* -Q* Some commands now can be queried from a remote session using this
flag, e.g. "screen -Q windows". The commands will send
the
response to the stdout of the querying process. If there was
an
error in the command, then the querying process will exit
with a
non-zero status.
The commands that can be queried now are:
echo
info
lastmsg
number
select
time
title
windows
$ screen -S pts *-Q number*
$ screen -S pts -Q windows
