# Cross-platform Terminal Manipulation Library
Have you ever been disappointed when a terminal library for the Rust language was only written for UNIX systems?
Crossterm provides clearing, input handling, styling, cursor movement and terminal actions for both
Windows and UNIX systems.
Crossterm aims to be simple and easy to call in code. Through the simplicity of Crossterm, you do not have to
worry about the platform you are working with.
This crate supports all UNIX and Windows terminals down to Windows 7 (not all terminals are tested,
see [Tested Terminals](#tested-terminals) for more info).
## Note on Migration
You may have noticed that Crossterm has been
[changing](https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) very quickly with the latest versions.
We have done a lot of API-breaking changes by renaming functions, commands, changing the exports,
improving the encapsulation, etc. However, all of this happens to improve the library and make it better
and ready for a possible [1.0 release](#287). We want to stick to the
[Command API](https://docs.rs/crossterm/#command-api) and remove all other ways to use crossterm.
Try to use this API and change your code accordingly.
This way you will survive or overcome major migration problems ;).
We hope you can understand this, feel free to ask around in [discord](https://discord.gg/K4nyTDB) if you have
questions. For up-to-date examples, have a look at the [examples](https://github.com/crossterm-rs/examples/tree/master)
repository. Sorry for the inconvenience.
> It's highly recommended to read the
> [Upgrade from 0.13 to 0.14](https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm/wiki/Upgrade-from-0.13-to-0.14)
> documentation, which explains everything you need to know.

stdout(),
SetForegroundColor(Color::Blue),
SetBackgroundColor(Color::Red),
Output("Styled text here."),
