        Use the excellent tool of utmp[0] for this task.

       +Some _random program_ complains that st is unknown/not
       +recognised/unsupported/whatever!
       +
       +It means that st doesn’t have any terminfo entry on your system. Chances are
       +you did not make install. If you just want to test it without installing it,
       +you can manualy run tic -s st.info in st dir. It will compile st.info into a
       +fully working local terminfo description. You can delete it when you’re done.
       +--
       +Nothing works, and nothing is said about an unknown terminal!
       +
       +* Some programs just assume they’re running in xterm i.e. they don’t rely on
       +  terminfo. What you see is the current state of the “xterm compliance”.
       +* Some programs don’t complain about the lacking st description and default to
       +  another terminal. In that case see the question about terminfo.
       +--
       +I get some weird glitches/visual bug on _random program_!
       +
       +Try lauching it with a different TERM: $ TERM=xterm myapp. toe(1) will give
       +you a list of available terminals, but you’ll most likely switch between
       +xterm, st or st-256color. The default value for TERM can be changed in
       +config.h (TNAME).

       +How do I scroll back up?
       +
       +Invoke st with a screen multiplexer like GNU screen[0] or tmux[1].
       +st -e screen works better for text reflowing. To enter screen’s scroll
       +back mode aka “copy mode”, it’s C-a ESC. You probably want defscrollback
       +10000 in your ~/.screenrc too.
