Toggle line-wrapping in the terminal with 'tput rmam' and 'tput sram'
The command:
tput rmam
will disable line wrapping so that long lines are truncated to width of the terminal ($COLUMNS
).
The command:
tput smam
will re-enable it.
This seems to known as "automatic margin" mode, hence smam
is enter_am_mode
and rmam
is exit_am_mode
.
Some terminals may not support this functionality.
