CONSTRUCTOR
new
$vterm = Term::VTerm->new( %args )
Constructs a new Term::VTerm
instance of the initial size given by the arguments.
METHODS
get_size
( $rows, $cols ) = $vterm->get_size
Returns the current size of the terminal area.
set_size
$vterm->set_size( $rows, $cols )
Sets the new size of the terminal area.
get_utf8
set_utf8
$utf8 = $vterm->get_utf8
$vterm->set_utf8( $utf8 )
Return or set UTF-8 mode on the parser.
input_write
$len = $vterm->input_write( $str )
Writes the bytes of the given string into the terminal parser buffer.
output_read
$len = $vterm->output_read( $buf, $maxlen )
Reads bytes from the output buffer of the terminal into the given variable, up to the maximum length requested. Returns the number of bytes actually read.
keyboard_unichar
$vterm->keyboard_unichar( $char, $mod )
Sends a keypress to the output buffer, encoding the given Unicode character number (i.e. not a string), with the optional modifier (as a bitmask of one or more of the MOD_*
constants).
keyboard_key
$vterm->keyboard_key( $key, $mod )
Sends a keypress to the output buffer, encoding the given key symbol (as a KEY_*
constant), with the optional modifier (as a bitmask of one or more of the MOD_*
constants).
mouse_move
$vterm->mouse_move( $row, $col, $mod )
Moves the mouse cursor to the given position, with optional modifier (as a bitmask of one or more of the MOD_*
constants). It is OK to call this regardless of the current mouse mode; if the mode doesn't want move report events or drag events then no output will be generated.
mouse_button
$vterm->mouse_button( $button, $is_pressed, $mod )
Performs a mouse button report event on the given button, to either press or release it, with optional modifier (as a bitmask of one or more of the MOD_*
constants). It is OK to call this regardless of the current mouse mode; if mouse reporting is disabled then no output will be generated.
parser_set_callbacks
$vterm->parser_set_callbacks( %cbs )
Sets the parser-layer callbacks. Takes the following named arguments:
- on_text => CODE
-
$on_text->( $text )
- on_control => CODE
-
$on_control->( $ctrl )
$ctrl
is an integer giving a C0 or C1 control byte value. - on_escape => CODE
-
$on_escape->( $str )
- on_csi => CODE
-
$on_csi->( $leader, $command, @args )
Where
$leader
may beundef
, and each element of@args
is an ARRAY reference containing sub-arguments. Each sub-argument may beundef
. - on_osc => CODE
-
$on_osc->( $command, $str )
Where
$command
contains the parsed command number (or -1 if none was found) and$str
contains the full text after the;
. - on_dcs => CODE
-
$on_dcs->( $command, $str )
Where
$command
contains the parsed DCS command identifier string and$str
contains the full text after it. - on_resize => CODE
-
$on_resize->( $rows, $cols )
obtain_state
$state = $vterm->obtain_state
Returns a Term::VTerm::State object representing the terminal state layer, creating it if necessary. After calling this method, any parser callbacks will no longer work.
obtain_screen
$screen = $vterm->obtain_screen
Returns a Term::VTerm::Screen object representing the terminal screen layer, creating it if necessary. After calling this method, any parser or state callbacks will no longer work.
COLOR OBJECTS
A VTermColor
instance can be constructed by
$color = Term::VTerm::Color->new( red => $r, green => $g, blue => $b )
A VTermColor
instance has the following field accessors:
$bool = $color->is_indexed
True if the colour is a palette index.
$bool = $color->is_rgb
True if the colour contains RGB values directly.
$idx = $color->index
The palette index for indexed colours.
$r = $color->red
$g = $color->green
$b = $color->blue
The components of the colour as an integer between 0 and 255 for RGB colours.
$hex = $color->rgb_hex
A 6-character string containing the three colour components, hex encoded.
$bool = $color->is_default_fg
$bool = $color->is_default_bg
True if the colour is the default colour for terminal foreground or background.
GLYPH INFO OBJECTS
A VTermGlyphInfo
instance has the following field accessors:
@chars = $info->chars
A list of Unicode character numbers. This list does not include the terminating 0.
$width = $info->width
The width of this glyph in screen columns.
$str = $info->str
A Unicode string containing the characters.
POSITION OBJECTS
A VTermPos
instance can be constructed by
$pos = Term::VTerm::Pos->new( row => $row, col => $col )
A VTermPos
instance has the following field accessors:
$row = $pos->row
$col = $pos->col
The row and column number of the position, 0-indexed.
RECTANGLE OBJECTS
A VTermRect
instance can be constructed by
$rect = Term::VTerm::Rect->new( start_row => ..., end_row => ..., start_col => ..., end_col => ... )
A VTermRect
instance has the following field accessors:
$row = $rect->start_row
$col = $rect->start_col
The row and column number of the top left corner of the rectangle.
$row = $rect->end_row
$col = $rect->end_col
The row and column number of the cell just after the bottom right corner of the rectangle; i.e. exclusive limit.
FUNCTIONS
The following utility functions are also exported.
get_attr_type
$type = get_attr_type( $attr )
Returns the type of the given pen attribute.
get_prop_type
$type = get_prop_type( $prop )
