When you want to use other modules as well you might want to use crossterm with [feature flags](https://timonpost.github.io/crossterm/docs/feature_flags.html).
This documentation is only for `crossterm_terminal` version `0.2` check the [examples](https://github.com/TimonPost/crossterm/tree/master/examples) folders with detailed examples for all functionality of this crate.
My first recommendation is to use the [command API](https://timonpost.github.io/crossterm/docs/command.html) because this might replace some of the existing API in the future.
Because it is more convenient, faster, and easier to use.
// 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");
```
## Tested terminals
- Windows Powershell
- Windows 10 (pro)
- Windows CMD
- Windows 10 (pro)
- Windows 8.1 (N)
- Ubuntu Desktop Terminal
- Ubuntu 17.10
- (Arch, Manjaro) KDE Konsole
- Linux Mint
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.
