pseudoterm

Low-level library for creating PTYs and getting related properties. Aimed to be cross platform, and so far has Unix and Redox OS support.

Yet another?

I know there are lots of crates for opening PTYs, but I really wanted to make my own.

Key features of this one:

• Low-level. You get access to the file handles directly.
• Comes bundled with related features, like setting the terminal to raw mode.
• Redox OS support from the start

Examples

See the examples/ directory.

Getter/Setter?????

If you've seen the docs, you'll notice there are stuff like TermiosSetter and WinsizeSetter. This is a part of the design that makes Redox OS support special. In redox, when setting the window size you need to do the following:

• Open a file that controls the window size
• Get the window size
• (Close the file?)
• (Reopen the file?)
• Set the window size
• Close the file

What pseudoterm does is let you get/set without opening/closing the file each time.
