handoff.rs

//! Handing the terminal to another program for a while.
//!
//! An application that draws on the alternate screen in raw mode cannot show another program's
//! prompts: `sudo` writes its password prompt to the controlling terminal, our screen swallows
//! it, and both programs read the same keys. The answer is to step aside: leave raw mode and the
//! alternate screen, let the program own the terminal, then take the screen back and draw
//! everything again. The program gets a process group of its own for the time, so the keys'
//! signals reach it and not the application.
//!
//! [`Handoff`] describes such a step aside, and [`run`] carries it out with the screen the caller
//! hands it: the real terminal in [`Runtime`](super::Runtime), a recording stand-in in tests.

/// Hands the terminal to another program: leaves raw mode and the alternate screen, runs it
/// attached to the real terminal, then takes the screen back and draws everything again.
///
/// The program runs on the drawing thread and the application waits for it, which is what the
/// user expects: they are talking to another program. Background tasks keep running, but nothing
/// is drawn until the program ends.
///
/// On Unix, when the application is the foreground of its controlling terminal, the program
/// runs in a process group of its own that is made the terminal's foreground until it ends, as
/// a shell runs a job. The signals of the keys — `Ctrl-C` at a `sudo` prompt, `Ctrl-\` — and
/// resizes then reach the program and its children only: the application is never ended by
/// them, and its own signal dispositions are never changed. `Ctrl-Z` does not suspend: a
/// program that stops is continued at once, since the application offers no way back to it. A
/// process group is not a session, so the program keeps the controlling terminal and the
/// session a warm `sudo` ticket is kept for.
