This library allows easy processing of keyboard entry from terminal-based
programs. It handles all the necessary logic to recognise special keys,
UTF-8 combining, and so on, with a simple interface.
It provides the following features:
- Follows terminfo for every sequence listed there, only falling back on
other methods to deal with unrecognised input.
- Recognises special keys (such as arrow and function keys), including
"modified" keys like Ctrl-Left.
- Recognises XTerm-style mouse position/button reporting.
- MIT licenced to allow almost all projects to use it; both Open Source
and Commercial.
- Implemented in a small handfull of .c files which allows direct
embedding in a larger application, if a shared library is not desired.
- Small API - just three functions are needed in simple common cases.
- Both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (non-blocking) APIs are
supported.
- Fully conformant with my suggested terminal key representation scheme
## DEPRECATED ##
Note: Use of this library for new programs is discouraged. It is being
maintained for legacy purposes only. For writing new programs, please
use libtickit instead.
