//! Managing switching between main and alternate screen buffers. //! //! Note that this implementation uses xterm's new escape sequences for screen switching and thus //! only works for xterm compatible terminals (which should be most terminals nowadays). //! //! # Example //! //! ```rust //! use termion::screen::AlternateScreen; //! use std::io::{Write, stdout}; //! //! fn main() { //! { //! let mut screen = AlternateScreen::from(stdout()); //! write!(screen, "Writing to alternate screen!").unwrap(); //! screen.flush().unwrap(); //! } //! println!("Writing to main screen."); //! } //! ``` use std::io::{self, Write}; use std::ops; use std::fmt; /// Switch to the main screen buffer of the terminal. pub struct ToMainScreen; impl fmt::Display for ToMainScreen { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { write!(f, csi!("?1049l")) } } /// Switch to the alternate screen buffer of the terminal. pub struct ToAlternateScreen; impl fmt::Display for ToAlternateScreen { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { write!(f, csi!("?1049h")) } } /// A terminal restorer, which wraps a type implementing Write, and causes all writes to be written /// to an alternate screen. /// /// This is achieved by switching the terminal to the alternate screen on creation and /// automatically switching it back to the original screen on drop. pub struct AlternateScreen { /// The output target. output: W, } impl AlternateScreen { /// Create an alternate screen wrapper struct for the provided output and switch the terminal /// to the alternate screen. pub fn from(mut output: W) -> Self { write!(output, "{}", ToAlternateScreen).expect("switch to alternate screen"); AlternateScreen { output: output, } } } impl Drop for AlternateScreen { fn drop(&mut self) { write!(self, "{}", ToMainScreen).expect("switch to main screen"); } } impl ops::Deref for AlternateScreen { type Target = W; fn deref(&self) -> &W { &self.output } } impl ops::DerefMut for AlternateScreen { fn deref_mut(&mut self) -> &mut W { &mut self.output } } impl Write for AlternateScreen { fn write(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> io::Result { self.output.write(buf) } fn flush(&mut self) -> io::Result<()> { self.output.flush() } }
