This library provides safe read-only access to unibilium C library. The latter gives read/write access to terminal capabilities from termcap database.

This library provides means to create a Term struct representing a terminal. Using this struct you can read boolean, numeric and string capabilities of the terminal. You can also read the extended versions of each of the above capabilities.

Currently you cannot modify capabilities or add new extended ones.

Create a Term struct using TERM environment variable.

#
use unibilium::Term;

let term = Term::from_env()?;
#

Create a Term struct for specific terminal.

#
use unibilium::Term;

let term = Term::from_term_name("vt100")?;
#

Dump boolean capabilities of a terminal.

#
use unibilium::Term;

let term = Term::from_term_name("vt100")?;
for bool_cap in term.booleans() {
    println!("{}", bool_cap);
}
#

Dump extended boolean capabilities of a terminal.

#
use unibilium::Term;

let term = Term::from_term_name("vt100")?;
for bool_cap in term.ext_booleans() {
    println!("{}", bool_cap);
}
