Crate terminfo_lean 

Terminfo parsing library with simple API and minimal dependencies

This crate provides facilities to

• find the terminfo database for the given terminal
• parse the terminfo database and
• expand capabilities with parameters.

Features:

• full support for extended capabilities
• simple API
• extensive unit test coverage

Why another terminfo library?

• MIT + Apache 2.0 license (no obscenities or obscure licenses)
• minimal dependencies (thiserror only)
• truly lean - no termcap, no Windows console, no unrelated stuff
• UTF-8 is only used for capability names
• 8-bit clean - string capabilities are byte slices
• minimal memory allocations

Credits

The capability expansion code is based on the term crate with significant changes.
