VMS Help  —  SHOW  TERMINAL
    Displays the current characteristics of a specific terminal.
    Each characteristic corresponds to an option of the SET TERMINAL
    command.

    Format

      SHOW TERMINAL  [device-name[:]]

1  –  Parameter 

 device-name[:]

    Specifies the name of the terminal for which you want the
    characteristics displayed. The default is your terminal
    (SYS$COMMAND).

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /BRIEF 

    Displays a subset of more commonly used terminal characteristics.

2.2    /FULL 

       /FULL (default)

    Displays all terminal characteristics.

2.3    /OUTPUT 

       /OUTPUT[=filespec]
       /NOOUTPUT

    Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do
    not enter the qualifier, or if you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier
    without a file specification, the output is sent to the current
    process default output stream or device, identified by the
    logical name SYS$OUTPUT.

    If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file
    specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW
    is the default file name and .LIS the default file type. If you
    enter a file specification, it cannot include the asterisk (*)
    and the percent sign (%)  wildcard characters.

    If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.

2.4    /PERMANENT 

    Requires LOG_IO (logical I/O) or PHY_IO (physical I/O) privilege.

    Displays the permanent characteristics of the terminal.

      In this example, the SHOW TERMINAL command displays a subset of
      the more commonly used terminal characteristics.

    2.$ SHOW TERMINAL/FULL

      In this example, the SHOW TERMINAL command displays the
      characteristics of this specific terminal. If you are
      displaying statistics about a terminal allocated to another
      user, the input, output, LFfill, CRfill, width, page, and
      parity statistics are not shown (see the next example).
