screen: Hardstatus

 
 10.8 Hardstatus
 ===============
 
 'Screen' maintains a hardstatus line for every window.  If a window gets
 selected, the display's hardstatus will be updated to match the window's
 hardstatus line.  The hardstatus line can be changed with the ANSI
 Application Program Command (APC): 'ESC_<string>ESC\'.  As a convenience
 for xterm users the sequence 'ESC]0..2;<string>^G' is also accepted.
 
  -- Command: defhstatus [status]
      (none)
      The hardstatus line that all new windows will get is set to STATUS.
      This command is useful to make the hardstatus of every window
      display the window number or title or the like.  STATUS may contain
      the same directives as in the window messages, but the directive
      escape character is '^E' (octal 005) instead of '%'.  This was done
      to make a misinterpretation of program generated hardstatus lines
      impossible.  If the parameter STATUS is omitted, the current
      default string is displayed.  Per default the hardstatus line of
      new windows is empty.
 
  -- Command: hstatus status
      (none)
      Changes the current window's hardstatus line to STATUS.
