newt-rs
Rust bindings for the Newt console UI library.
ChangeLog | API Docs | crates.io
This crate provides bindings to Red Hat, Inc.'s Newt console UI library. Newt is a small and simple to use UI library providing widgets and basic stacked window management for console applications.
The majority, if not all of Newt's functionality has been implemented.
Usage
Include newt as a dependency of in your Cargo.toml
file as follows.
[dependencies]
newt = "0.6"
The library API is currently subject to change and there are likely to be breaking changes between minor versions. Requires Rust 1.59 for inline assembly functions on the supported architectures (x86 and x86_64).
Features
static
feature
Enabling the static
feature will force the newt-sys
dependency
to be built against its included libraries statically rather than dynamically
against local system libraries if they're available.
It can be enabled in your Cargo.toml
file as follows.
[dependencies.newt]
version = "0.6"
features = ["static"]
asm
feature
Some library functions such as windows::win_menu()
,
windows::win_entries()
, and Grid
related functions require the nightly
build of the Rust compiler and the newt asm feature to be enabled. These
are currently only available on the x86 and x86_64 architectures.
Enable the feature as follows in your Cargo.toml
file.
[dependencies.newt]
version = "0.6"
features = ["asm"]
