# Termion
|
|
|
|
Termion is a pure Rust, bindless library for low-level handling, manipulating
|
|
and reading information about terminals. This provides a full-featured
|
|
alternative to Termbox.
|
|
|
|
Termion aims to be simple and yet expressive. It is bindless, meaning that it
|
|
is not a front-end to some other library (e.g., ncurses or termbox), but a
|
|
standalone library directly talking to the TTY.
|
|
|
|
Supports Redox, Mac OS X, and Linux (or, in general, ANSI terminals).
|
|

## A note on stability
|
|
|
|
Although small breaking changes might happen, I will try my best to avoid them,
|
|
and this crate can generally be considered stable.
|
|
|
|
## Cargo.toml
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[dependencies.termion]
|
|
git = "https://github.com/ticki/termion.git"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Raw mode.
|
|
- 256-color mode.
|
|
- Cursor movement.
|
|
- Color output.
|
|
- Calculating ANSI escapes.
|
|
- Text formatting.
|
|
- Console size.
|
|
- Control sequences.
|
|
- Termios control.
|
|
- Password input.
|
|
- Redox support.
|
|
- Panic-free error handling.
|
|
- Special keys events (modifiers, special keys, etc.).
|
|
- Allocation-free.
|
|
- Asynchronous key events.
|
|
- Mouse input
|
|
- Carefully tested.
|
|
|
|
and much more.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
extern crate termion;
|
|
|
|
use termion::{TermWrite, color, Style};
|
|
|
|
use std::io;
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
let stdout = io::stdout();
|
|
let mut stdout = stdout.lock();
|
|
|
|
stdout.color(color::Red).unwrap();
|
|
println!("Red");
|
|
|
|
stdout.color(color::Blue).unwrap();
|
|
println!("Blue");
|
|
|
|
stdout.style(Style::Bold).unwrap();
|
|
println!("Blue'n'Bold");
|
|
|
|
stdout.reset().unwrap();
|
|
stdout.style(Style::Italic).unwrap();
|
|
println!("Just plain italic")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
