libtelnet-rs
libtelnet-inspired telnet parser for rust.
Warning
The API for this library is likely to have changes made to it over time. This includes changes to return types, parameter types, and removal/addition/modification of entire methods.
Once the library is ready for a full 1.0 release, the API will be "stable" and no major changes will be made to it outside of a major version increment.
Usage
Check src/tests.rs for an example parser.
Ideally, you would place this parser somewhere directly behind a socket or external source of data.
When data comes in from the socket, immediately send it into the parser with parser.receive(data).
This will append it to the current internal buffer, and then process any events that are in the buffer.
After processing, all telnet events will be returned by parser.receive() and can be looped over and handled as needed.
Anything to be sent back over the socket to the remote end should be sent through the parser as well, to ensure any data will be encoded properly for the telnet protocol.
Data to be sent will be provided either by a events::TelnetEvents::DataSend event after processing, or as a return from any method used for sending data.
