Why not dump the whole page by default then? 5 lines seems rather

5 is what it use to be. Not sure how much the default in linux is.
I have no issue with changing the default to MAX. However I got
from reading Jan Beulich comments in Nov 2013, that these changes
should not be intrusive.
"less", "head" or "tail" are unable to change xenctx, only control
what you see of xenctx's output.
Obviously! I'm not sure what your point is though -- my suggestion was
that xenctx should/could output stuff which can be processed with these
tools.
Looks like I misunderstood you.
It is not that each change makes a big difference, that happens when
several are used at one time:
Can we not just improve the default behaviour to be more useful? Having
to give half a dozen different options to get useful output isn't really
all that user friendly.

I accept that some options might have to remain in order to work sanely
on 80-column displays but we should aim in the first instance to have
the tool Do The Right/Useful Thing without needing extra options.
I am currently not sure that "Do The Right/Useful Thing" is the same
for all the people involved.
Are you asking for some kind of config file that allows a developer
to select
their preferred setting of options, or just to determine the best
defaults?
Last I knew Jan Beulich does not what -t and you and I do. The
issue is that
-t by default pushes the output to > 80 columns.
