* Package name : yascreen Version : 1.80 Upstream Author : Boian Bonev <bbo...@ipacct.com> * URL : https://github.com/bbonev/yascreen * License : AGPL-3 Programming Lang: C Description : Yet Another Screen Library (curses replacement for daemons and embedded apps) Main features: - small footprint - does not have external dependencies - allows both internal and external event loop - allows stdin/stdout or external input/output (can work over socket) - supports basic set of telnet sequences, making it suitable for built-in terminal interfaces for daemons - supports a limited set of input keystroke sequences - fully unicode compatible (parts of this depend on wcwidth in libc) - supports utf8 verification of input - relies only on a limited subset of ansi/xterm ESC sequences, making it compatible with mostly all modern terminals (inspired by linenoise - https://github.com/antirez/linenoise) - there is no curses API and ancient terminal compatibility, hence less bloat - there is no autoconf - there is no need to have one - clean API with opaque private data, usable from C/C++ - easy cross compilation setup (by setting CC, AR, STRIP and RANLIB) This library is a dependency of vfu (already in Debian, using ncurses) and bpfmon (a monitoring tool that I plan to package for Debian).
