kandi X-RAY | termio Summary

termio is a C library typically used in Utilities, Command Line Interface applications. termio has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This is a light-weight terminal UI library to make your life a bit easier when making a simple terminal user interface. It is a bit like the well-known and sometimes criticised ncurses. Termio attempts to be simpler. Central to termio is the "draw buffer": all the I/O functions provided by the library draw on the draw buffer. You can write the buffer to the actual terminal screen using redraw(). Nothing else will call this function for you, so if your screen doesn't seem to be updating as you expect, try calling redraw(). When writing the draw buffer to the screen, the buffer is actively compared to what (termio thinks) was on the screen before, and only the parts that have actually changed are redrawn. This is because application logic is usually way faster than terminal I/O, so a little sacrifice in processing time is, in most use cases, worth the trouble. Termio also provides some ready-to-use widgets. Their ..._make() functions return an opaque struct that is to be destroyed using the corresponding ..._destroy() function. The header files should be reasonably clear as to their interface; if not, look at the source. Termio is actively tested on MacOS, but should also work on Linux. It will probably never work on Windows. Thoughts, bug reports and contributions are welcome. This is not a high-profile project for me, so don't expect your favourite feature to be implemented within a day. ;).

            Outputed lines doesn't wrap correctlly within a terminal in Non Canonical mode
            Asked 2021-May-13 at 06:30

            I am trying to implement a mini version of bash using Termcap capabilities, and now I am trying to read user's input and retype it in the terminal Stdout.

            Every thing is working fine, but the problem occurs when trying to resize the terminal window, as you can see in the below gif, when I write a SINGLE line and then shrink the window, and expand it again the output wraps good as it should.

            But when my text goes past the first terminal line (without pressing Enter), if I do the same steps as before, the output wrapping is different from what I want. What I need is that the last characters of the first line must join with the second line characters when shrinking the window, and vice versa when I expand the window the first characters of the second line join with the first line characters.

            Is there a way to make the outputted lines wrap exactly the same as bash ? (joining lines with each other)

            Here is my code so far, use -ltermcap flag when you want to compile it and Thanks in advance.

            Your terminal remembers where there are actual line skips (the one that you do explicitly with cursor_down in move_cursor_down_vertically()), as opposed to line wraps the terminal does on its own due to its limited width.

            So:

            • either you don't move (downwards) your cursor at all and do all your processing on only one virtual line of text, letting the terminal wrap that line according to its width (this is probably the easiest solution);
            • or you redraw the screen yourself in sigwinch_handler() when you receive the SIGWINCH signal.

            ANSI escape code CSI 6n always returns column=1
            Asked 2021-Apr-22 at 11:38

            I am writing a program that changes the color of the characters based on their position in the terminal. I need to get the cursor position at least once in order to do this. I do not need the row, only the column is of interest.

            I looked it up and I found the ANSI escape sequence ESC[6n which is supposed to return the current position of the cursor in stdin, in the following format: ESC[;R.

            I wrote a small test program (largely inspired by this answer) through which I tried to isolate the behavior of this escape sequence, and it is able to get the row number correctly, but for some reason, the column is always 1.

            Replace printf("some text"); with write(1,"some text", 9); and you'll get the expected cursor position.

            You make a wrong assertion about cursor position moved with clib printf, POSIX/ANSI C doesn't specify that this one should move the cursor.

            pyinstaller Options: I can't find any information about the option -x, maybe this is the issue.

            Also: pyinstaller -d option

            It seems that the -d option requires arguments. Maybe try to remove the option or put one of the required values:

            -d , --debug

            Provide assistance with debugging a frozen application. This argument may be provided multiple times to select several of the following options.

            all: All three of the following options.

            imports: specify the -v option to the underlying Python interpreter, causing it to print a message each time a module is initialized, showing the place (filename or built-in module) from which it is loaded. See https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#id4.

            bootloader: tell the bootloader to issue progress messages while initializing and starting the bundled app. Used to diagnose problems with missing imports.

            noarchive: instead of storing all frozen Python source files as an archive inside the resulting executable, store them as files in the resulting output directory.

            The pts was created when a virtual terminal was attached to the system (usually ssh). The pts was connected as stdin/stdout for a shell which was started for the connection, therefore you already have a process attached to the pts and reading from it.

            Once you attach your application, you effectively start a race between both processes (your application and the shell), so whoever is faster will receive the content of the buffer. The character had not remained in the buffer of the pts, rather it was read by the shell attached to the pts.

            To be able to read without interruption from the attached process, you need to intercept the buffer of the pts by informing the master multiplexer ptmx, see more in ptmx(4). You can study how it's done in the interceptty

            This happens because your computer registers the key strokes and on the console, those are made available on the stdin input stream.

            If you save your script as test.py and run python test.py and start entering some keystrokes, like abc, those letters will be on standard input.

            Your script doesn't read them, because it doesn't touch that stream, as you're not using input() or any other calls that would read that stream. So your script finishes, the characters are still on standard input, the prompt comes back and it reads those characters, with the given result:
