termsize

Go module to return the terminal width and height

The Releases Page contains command-line binaries for Windows, MacOS and Linux.

NOTES

When a terminal is not available such as when using a pipe or redirecting to a file, then the DefaultWidth and DefaultHeight as defined in defaults.go will be used. These defaults can be changed by setting termsize.DefaultWidth and termsize.DefaultHeight.

INSTALL

Go version 1.16 or newer is required for compilation.

go get github.com/jftuga/termsize
