Termios Rust Bindings
The termios
crate provides safe bindings for the Rust programming language to the terminal I/O
interface implemented by
Unix operating systems. The safe bindings are a small wrapper around the raw C functions, which
converts integer return values to std::io::IoResult
to indicate success or failure. The raw C
functions are available in the termios::ffi
module, but must be called within an unsafe
block.
Dependencies
In order to use the termios
crate, you must have:
- A Rust runtime with the
libc
crate. Since thelibc
crate's interface is considered unstable, you must install Rust from the nightly builds or from the latest source. - A native
libc
library that implements thetermios
API. This should be available on any recent version of OSX or Linux usingglibc
.
Usage
Add termios
as a dependency in Cargo.toml
:
[]
= "0.0.4"
Import the termios
crate and any symbols needed from termios
. You will also probably need
libc::c_int
for file descriptors and std::io::Result
to propagate errors.
