This cool hack uses the terminal capabilities (see ''terminfo(5)'' manual) **smcup** and **rmcup** to save and restore the terminal content.
|
||
|
||
|
||
For sure, you’ve already seen those programs that restore the terminal contents after they did their work (like ''vim'').
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
# save, clear screen
|
||
tput smcup
|
||
clear
|
||
|
||
# example "application" follows...
|
||
read -n1 -p "Press any key to continue..."
|
||
# example "application" ends here
|
||
|
||
# restore
|
||
tput rmcup
|
||
</code>
