Blessings lifts several of curses' limiting assumptions, and it makes
|
|
your code pretty, too:
|
|
|
|
- Use styles, color, and maybe a little positioning without
|
|
necessarily clearing the whole screen first.
|
|
- Leave more than one screenful of scrollback in the buffer after your
|
|
program exits, like a well-behaved command-line app should.
|
|
|
|
- Get rid of all those noisy, C-like calls to tigetstr and tparm, so
|
|
your code doesn't get crowded out by terminal bookkeeping.
|
|
|
|
- Act intelligently when somebody redirects your output to a file,
|
|
omitting the terminal control codes the user doesn't want to see
|
|
(optional).
