Termion Build Status Latest Version

Documentation Examples Changelog Tutorial

Termion is a pure Rust, bindless library for low-level handling, manipulating and reading information about terminals. This provides a full-featured alternative to Termbox.

Termion aims to be simple and yet expressive. It is bindless, meaning that it is not a front-end to some other library (e.g., ncurses or termbox), but a standalone library directly talking to the TTY.

Termion is quite convinient, due to its complete coverage of essential TTY features, providing one consistent API. Termion is rather low-level containing only abstraction aligned with what actually happens behind the scenes, for something more high-level, refer to inquirer-rs, which uses Termion as backend.

Termion generates escapes and API calls for the user. This makes it a whole lot cleaner to use escapes.

Supports Redox, Mac OS X, BSD, and Linux (or, in general, ANSI terminals).
