Struct Term 

pub struct Term { /* private fields */ }

A minimal VT100/ECMA-48 terminal emulator over an ansi::Screen.

Implementations

impl Term

pub fn new(rows: usize, cols: usize) -> Self

A blank emulator of rows x cols (both clamped to at least 1), cursor at the origin, full-height scroll region, default tab stops every 8 columns, autowrap on, cursor visible.

pub fn feed(&mut self, bytes: &[u8])

Feed a chunk of child output. Chunks may split at any byte boundary (mid-escape, mid-UTF-8); the internal parser holds partial state across calls, so the final screen is independent of how bytes were chunked.

pub fn take_dirty(&mut self) -> bool

Returns true if any bytes have been fed (or a resize has occurred) since the last call to take_dirty, and resets the flag. Call once per frame decision to avoid redundant compositing.

pub fn screen(&self) -> &Screen

The active buffer (alternate while in alt-screen, else primary). Its cursor is the emulator’s cursor, so a compositor / Screen::diff parks the terminal cursor correctly.

pub fn in_sync(&self) -> bool

True while the child is inside a synchronized update (DEC mode 2026): it has emitted ?2026h and not yet the matching ?2026l. During this window Term::screen returns the last complete frame. Exposed so a host can also gate its own compositing on it if desired.

pub fn resize(&mut self, rows: usize, cols: usize)

Resize to rows x cols (clamped to at least 1). For 0.1 this rebuilds fresh buffers of the new size (the caller repaints); the cursor and scroll region are clamped, tab stops rebuilt, and pending wrap cleared.
