crossterm 0.3.0

An crossplatform terminal library for manipulating terminals.
Documentation
//! This trait defines the actions that can be preformed with the terminal cursor.
//! This trait can be implemented so that an concrete implementation of the ITerminalCursor can for fill
//! the wishes to work on an specific platform.
//!
//! ## For example:
//!
//! This trait is implemented to work with WINAPI (Windows specific) and ANSI (Unix specific),
//! so that the cursor related actions can be preformed on both unix and windows systems.
