Struct Bridge

pub struct Bridge { /* private fields */ }

Bridge is a complement for Screen. It allows you to print new lines in windows from different threads. You initiate a Bridge by passing a pre-created Screen. The only disadvantage of using Bridge is that you can’t create new children once you have created the Bridge. Run Bridge::clone(&self) to access bridge from multiple threads. Ideally, run Bridge::kill(&self) before ending program to kill the screening process. However, it is not neccessary.

Implementations

impl Bridge

pub fn new(screen: Screen) -> Self

Create a Bridge by passing an already created Screen. You won’t be able to append children to Screen once passed.

pub fn println(&self, id: usize, msg: &str) -> Result<(), ErrorKind>

Print a new line in window with id. Returns () if successful, Err(std::io::ErrorKind) if not.

pub fn print(&self, id: usize, msg: &str) -> Result<(), ErrorKind>

Print line in window with id, but do not flush. Returns () if successful, Err(std::io::ErrorKind) if not.

pub fn flush(&self, id: usize) -> Result<(), ErrorKind>

Flush window with id. Returns () if successful, Err(std::io::ErrorKind) if not.

pub fn kill(&self)

Kills Bridge’s communication, and terminates the Screen screening process and deletes it.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Bridge

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
