Uses the message line to display some information about the current window: the cursor position in the form “(column,row)” starting with “(1,1)”, the terminal width and height plus the size of the scrollback buffer in lines, like in “(80,24)+50”, the current state of window XON/XOFF flow control is shown like this (see also section Flow-Control):

+flow

automatic flow control, currently on.

-flow

automatic flow control, currently off.

+(+)flow

flow control enabled. Agrees with automatic control.

-(+)flow

flow control disabled. Disagrees with automatic control.

+(-)flow

flow control enabled. Disagrees with automatic control.

-(-)flow

flow control disabled. Agrees with automatic control.

The current line wrap setting (“+wrap” indicates enabled, “-wrap” not) is also shown. The flags “ins”, “org”, “app”, “log”, “mon” or “nored” are displayed when the window is in insert mode, origin mode, application-keypad mode, has output logging, activity monitoring or partial redraw enabled.

The currently active character set (G0, G1, G2, or G3) and, in square brackets, the terminal character sets that are currently designated as G0 through G3 is shown. If the window is in UTF-8 mode, the string “UTF-8” is shown instead.

Additional modes depending on the type of the window are displayed at the end of the status line (see also chapter Window Types).

If the state machine of the terminal emulator is in a non-default state, the info line is started with a string identifying the current state.

For system information use the time command.
