libterm

A pure Rust library for handling, manipulating and reading information about terminals. This provides a full-featured alternative to Termbox.

Supports Redox and POSIX. Untested on Windows.

A note on stability

This crate is not stable, yet. However, if you do want stability, you should specify the revision (commit hash) in your Cargo.toml, this way builds are complete reproducible, and won't break.

and much more.
