Term::VT102

Term::VT102 provides emulation of a VT102 terminal, in Ruby. It's a great way to automate interactions with remote systems, particularly ones that only provide interactive/curses style interfaces. It can tell you what's on the screen at any time, and notify you of changes.

A lot of terrible legacy applications fall into this category.

This gem is a port of Andrew Wood's Perl module, Term::VT102. Permission has been granted to release this derived work under the MIT license.

Term::VT102 aims to be fairly literal port of the Perl module, and higher-level features will most likely show up in other gems instead of being integrated here.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'term-vt102'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install term-vt102

Usage


require 'term/vt102'

vt = Term::VT102.new(cols: 80, rows: 25)

# Await patiently at your editor for me to write documentation, or check out
# the tests.
