WARNING: This package is unix-specific and depends on the
availability of two unix system commands for terminal control,
i.e.
stty and
tput, both of which have to be found
in the
$PATH. If any of these two commands is missing the
loading of the package will fail.
The package provides commands to switch the standard input of the
current process between raw and cooked input modes, and
to query the size of terminals, i.e. the available number of columns
and lines.
-
::term::ansi::ctrl::unix::import ? ns ? ? arg... ?
-
This command imports some or all attribute commands into the namespace
ns. This is by default the namespace ctrl. Note that this
is relative namespace name, placing the imported command into a child
of the current namespace. By default all commands are imported, this
can howver be restricted by listing the names of the wanted commands
after the namespace argument.
-
::term::ansi::ctrl::unix::raw
-
This command switches the standard input of the current process to
raw input mode. This means that from then on all characters
typed by the user are immediately reported to the application instead
of waiting in the OS buffer until the Enter/Return key is received.
-
::term::ansi::ctrl::unix::raw
-
This command switches the standard input of the current process to
cooked input mode. This means that from then on all characters
typed by the user are kept in OS buffers for editing until the
Enter/Return key is received.
-
::term::ansi::ctrl::unix::columns
-
This command queries the terminal connected to the standard input for
the number of columns available for display.
-
::term::ansi::ctrl::unix::rows
-
This command queries the terminal connected to the standard input for
the number of rows (aka lines) available for display.
