screen: Nonblock
20.9 Nonblock
=============
-- Command: nonblock [STATE|NUMSECS]
Tell screen how to deal with user interfaces (displays) that cease
to accept output. This can happen if a user presses ^S or a
TCP/modem connection gets cut but no hangup is received. If
nonblock is 'off' (this is the default) screen waits until the
display restarts to accept the output. If nonblock is 'on', screen
waits until the timeout is reached ('on' is treated as 1s). If the
display still doesn't receive characters, screen will consider it
"blocked" and stop sending characters to it. If at some time it
restarts to accept characters, screen will unblock the display and
redisplay the updated window contents.
-- Command: defnonblock STATE|NUMSECS
Same as the 'nonblock' command except that the default setting for
displays is changed. Initial setting is 'off'.
