EXPORTED CONSTANTS
The following sets of constants are exported, with the given tag names.
VALUETYPE_* (:types)
Type constants for the types of VTermValue, as returned by
get_attr_type and get_prop_type.
ATTR_* (:attrs)
Attribute constants for pen attributes.
PROP_* (:props)
Property constants for terminal properties.
MOD_* (:mod)
Keyboard modifier bitmask constants for keyboard_* and mouse_*.
DAMAGE_* (:damage)
Size constants for VTermScreen damage merging.
KEY_* (:keys)
Key symbol constants for keyboard_key.
CONSTRUCTOR
new
$vterm = Term::VTerm->new( %args )
Constructs a new Term::VTerm instance of the initial size given by the
arguments.
rows, cols => INT
Gives the initial size of the terminal area.
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 be undef, and each element of @args is an ARRAY
reference containing sub-arguments. Each sub-argument may be undef.
on_osc => CODE
$on_osc->( $command )
on_dcs => CODE
$on_dcs->( $str )
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 )
Returns the type of the given terminal property.
