This is a clone of vain's (Peter Hofmann's) eduterm, used by myself to develop terminal functionality in kråkfot. To honor vain's contribution, I keep his MIT license. But don't nag on him to fix errors in my clone!
My plan is to redevelop eduterm/2 to use a real text line buffer (in opposition to a height/width square letter drawing area matrix), as well as modularize it rather than writing naked bytes to allocated memory.
Learning what's going on behind the scenes in X11 terminal emulators.
This is for educational purposes.
The following C libraries are required:
- libx11
- libx11-dev
- libx11-doc is useful too
To build the program, run:
make
You really should read the source code.
Open a new terminal window:
eduterm
If you use a tiling window manager, make sure that you're in "floating" mode.
