- Get the size of the terminal
- Set the size of the terminal
- Alternate screen
- Raw screen
- Exit the current process
## Examples
Check out the [examples](/examples/) for more information about how to use this crate.
```rust
use crossterm::terminal::{terminal,ClearType};
let mut terminal = terminal();
// Clear all lines in terminal;
terminal.clear(ClearType::All);
// Clear all cells from current cursor position down.
terminal.clear(ClearType::FromCursorDown);
// Clear all cells from current cursor position down.
terminal.clear(ClearType::FromCursorUp);
// Clear current line cells.
terminal.clear(ClearType::CurrentLine);
// Clear all the cells until next line.
terminal.clear(ClearType::UntilNewLine);
// Get terminal size
let (width, height) = terminal.terminal_size();
print!("X: {}, y: {}", width, height);
// Scroll down, up 10 lines.
terminal.scroll_down(10);
terminal.scroll_up(10);
// Set terminal size (width, height)
terminal.set_size(10,10);
// exit the current process.
terminal.exit();
// write to the terminal whether you are on the main screen or alternate screen.
terminal.write("Some text\n Some text on new line");
```

This crate supports all Unix terminals and windows terminals down to Windows 7 but not all of them have been tested.
If you have used this library for a terminal other than the above list without issues feel free to add it to the above list, I really would appreciate it.
## Notice
This library is average stable now, I don't expect it to not to change that much.
If there are any changes that will affect previous versions I will [describe](https://github.com/TimonPost/crossterm/blob/master/docs/UpgradeManual.md) what to change to upgrade.
## Contributing
I highly appreciate it when you are contributing to this crate.
Also Since my native language is not English my grammar and sentence order will not be perfect.
So improving this by correcting these mistakes will help both me and the reader of the docs.
