It converts a stream of UTF-8 encoded characters into a series of primitive drawing instructions that can be used by a console driver or terminal emulator to render a terminal application. .Pp The .Fn teken_init function is used to initialize terminal state object .Fa t , having type .Vt teken_t . The supplied .Vt teken_funcs_t structure .Fa funcs contains a set of callback functions, which are called when supplying data to .Fn teken_input . The .Fa thunk argument stores an arbitrary pointer, which is passed to each invocation of the callback functions. .Pp The .Vt teken_funcs_t structure stores the following callbacks: .Bd -literal -offset indent typedef struct { tf_bell_t *tf_bell; /* Audible/visible bell. */ tf_cursor_t *tf_cursor; /* Move cursor to x/y. */ tf_putchar_t *tf_putchar; /* Put Unicode character at x/y. */ tf_fill_t *tf_fill; /* Fill rectangle with character. */ tf_copy_t *tf_copy; /* Copy rectangle to new location. */ tf_param_t *tf_param; /* Miscellaneous options. */ tf_respond_t *tf_respond; /* Send response string to user. */ } teken_funcs_t; .Ed .Pp All callbacks must be provided, though unimplemented callbacks may some times be sufficient. The actual types of these callbacks can be found in .In teken.h . .Pp By default, .Fn teken_init initializes the .Vt teken_t structure to emulate a terminal having 24 rows and 80 columns. The .Fn teken_get_winsize and .Fn teken_set_winsize functions can be used to obtain and modify the dimensions of the terminal. .Pp Even though the cursor position is normally controlled by input of data through .Fn teken_input and returned by the .Fn tf_cursor callback, it can be obtained and modified manually using the .Fn teken_get_cursor and .Fn teken_set_cursor functions. The same holds for .Fn teken_get_curattr and .Fn teken_set_curattr , which can be used to change the currently selected font attributes and foreground and background color. .Pp By default, .Nm emulates a white-on-black terminal, which means the default foreground color is white, while the background color is black. These defaults can be modified using .Fn teken_get_defattr and .Fn teken_set_defattr . .Pp The .Fn teken_get_sequence function is a utility function that can be used to obtain escape sequences of special keyboard keys, generated by user input. The .Fa id parameter must be one of the .Dv TKEY_* parameters listed in .In teken.h . .Sh LEGACY FEATURES This library also provides a set of functions that shouldn't be used in any modern applications. .Pp The .Fn teken_256to16 function converts an xterm-256 256-color code to an xterm 16-color code whose color with default palettes is as similar as possible (not very similar). The lower 3 bits of the result are the ANSI color and the next lowest bit is brightness. Other layers (hardare and software) that only support 16 colors can use this to avoid knowing the details of 256-color codes. .Pp The .Fn teken_256to8 function is similar to .Fn teken_256to16 except it converts to an ANSI 8-color code. This is more accurate than discarding the brightness bit in the result of .Fn teken_256to16 . .Pp The .Fn teken_get_defattr_cons25 function obtains the default terminal attributes as a pair of foreground and background colors, using ANSI color numbering. .Pp The .Fn teken_set_8bit function disables UTF-8 processing and switches to 8-bit character mode, which can be used to support character sets like CP437 and ISO-8859-1. .Pp The .Fn teken_set_cons25 function sets the terminal emulation to .Dv cons25 , which was the default for .Xr syscons 4 in versions of .Fx prior to 9.0. This function is only useful for initialization. The emulation can be changed at any time using an escape sequence, and this function is not used then. .Pp The .Fn teken_set_cons25keys function tells the .Fn teken_get_sequence function to not interpret special keys in .Dv cons25 mode. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ncurses 3 , .Xr termcap 3 , .Xr syscons 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm library appeared in .Fx 8.0 , though it was only available and used inside the kernel. In .Fx 9.0 , the .Nm library appeared in userspace. .Sh AUTHORS .An Ed Schouten Aq ed@FreeBSD.org .Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS The .Fn tf_respond callback is used to respond to device status requests commands generated by an application. In the past, there have been various security issues, where a malicious application sends a device status request before termination, causing the generated response to be interpreted by applications such as .Xr sh 1 . .Pp .Nm only implements a small subset of responses which are unlikely to cause any harm. Still, it is advised to leave .Fn tf_respond unimplemented.
