This package represents the parent for all terminals.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In older versions of tcell we had (a couple of) different
|
||
|
|
external file formats for the terminal database. Those are
|
||
|
|
now removed. All terminal definitions are supplied by
|
||
|
|
one of two methods:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Compiled Go code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. For systems with terminfo and infocmp, dynamically
|
||
|
|
generated at runtime.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Go code can be generated using the mkinfo utility in
|
||
|
|
this directory. The database entry should be generated
|
||
|
|
into a package in a directory named as the first character
|
||
|
|
of the package name. (This permits us to group them all
|
||
|
|
without having a huge directory of little packages.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It may be desirable to add new packages to the extended
|
||
|
|
package, or -- rarely -- the base package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Applications which want to have the large set of terminal
|
||
|
|
descriptions built into the binary can simply import the
|
||
|
|
extended package. Otherwise a smaller reasonable default
|
||
|
|
set (the base package) will be included instead.
