Summary: Add terminal-width detection capabilities to axel
Initial Comment:
See attached patch for a rather crude attempt at allowing axel to adapt to different terminal widths. Lack of this is particularly annoying to me since I often use terminals that aren't
I'm not a C programmer, I just wanted to get this into the code as quickly as possible - there's probably a better way to accomplish this instead of passing (axel_t)s around to functions that don't otherwise need it. I could do without if I was willing to abandon the macro, not sure what the cleanest approach is here. (Global variable, maybe? :-)
Still, that's arguably better than assuming all terminals are at least 80 characters wide... my netbook can only display 78 columns in my favourite font size, which kind of makes axel a pain to use.
At least the patch is small...

Thanks.
