terminfo

A library to read compiled, binary terminfo descriptions.

Usage

// Load the active terminfo description
var info = TermInfoDesc.Load();

// Load via terminfo name
var info = TermInfoDesc.Load("xterm-256color");

// Default capabilities are strongly typed
Debug.Assert(info.MaxColors == 256)

// But extended capabilities are also supported
bool? ax = info.Extended.GetBoolean("AX");
int? u8 = info.Extended.GetNum("U8");
string? kup = info.Extended.GetNum("kUP");
