* linux console source: releases from the console's own keyboard, typed by its keymap SetKeyReport with KeySourceConsole, on a Linux virtual console the game runs on, switches the keyboard to raw keycodes (K_MEDIUMRAW) while releases are reported. The kernel allows the switch on the caller's controlling tty, so no root is needed; a console that refuses is not asked again and the protocol is next. Going back to presses, Fini and EmergencyReset switch it back. Each keycode is typed as the console types it cooked, after drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c, by the console's own tables read at the switch (KDGKBENT, KDGKBSENT, KDGKBDIACRUC, KDGKBMETA): modifiers and their left and right groups, Caps and Num Lock with their lights kept in step (KDSKBLED), sticky and locked modifiers, Unicode entries, dead keys and compose, the keypad by Num Lock, function strings, Meta as ESC prefix or bit 7, console switching by Alt+Fn and Alt+arrows to consoles in use, and from kernel 7.1 cursor and CSI keys with their modifiers. Translation starts from the console's modifiers and locks (TIOCLINUX 6, KDGKBLED). Each key is held by its keycode; a key typing several keys taps all but its last. Switching to another console ends every hold Lost. Mouse reports are off while the keyboard is raw, since the console types them into the same input, and come back after it. The guard: before the first switch the package runs the binary again, named console-guard, holding the console and the read end of a pipe only the game writes. If the pipe ends while the keyboard is raw (kill -9, the OOM killer, a Go fatal error), the guard switches the keyboard back, restores the termios the game found and shows the cursor, without a reset that would clear the game's last words. A game leading its console's session takes the console with it as it dies; its guard then leads a session of its own and opens the console again once the kernel has hung it up, to restore it. Checked in QEMU on a real VT, kernels 6.8 and 7.2, the game as uid 1000: the same key strokes read identically raw and cooked (Shift released first, Ctrl, Alt, AltGr, Caps and Num Lock, the keypad, function keys, modified cursor keys on 7.2; dead grave and tilde, compose, a euro sign and Cyrillic from a loaded keymap), Alt+F2 away ended the hold Lost and Alt+F1 came back, and the keyboard came back to K_UNICODE with ICANON and ECHO after Fini, a panic with EmergencyReset, kill -9, and kill -9 of a game leading its session (left raw without the guard's own session).

Each keycode types what vt types for it cooked: the keyboard's keymap and accent map (GIO_KEYMAP, GIO_DEADKEYMAP) run through a port of the kernel's genkbd_keyaction, kbdmux's left Alt keypad codes, and vt_processkey's xterm sequences, ESC for Alt and console switching. The locks go back to the keyboard and its lights with KDSKBSTATE. Scroll Lock is inert while raw; with the console's history mode on (Scroll Lock lit) the keyboard stays as it is and the ask reports presses. Shared with the Linux source now: the restore EmergencyReset runs, the guard, which opens again a console revoked or hung up with its session's leader, and what a key asks of the console. A console that can't go raw just now (Scroll Lock on, its guard gone, output not drained) is tried again at the next ask rather than never; a refusal at prepare still holds for good.

// Package terminal provides direct ANSI terminal control with zero-alloc rendering.
|
|
//
|
|
// # Features
|
|
//
|
|
// - True color (24-bit), 256-color, ANSI 16-color and colorless output, and
|
|
// the terminal's own default colors
|
|
// - Double-buffered output with cell-level diffing
|
|
// - Raw input parsing with escape sequence handling and bracketed paste
|
|
// - Key releases on request, from the Linux or FreeBSD console's keyboard
|
|
// or the terminal's key event protocol (Alacritty's), and presses where
|
|
// there are neither
|
|
// - Drawing on /dev/tty when stdin or stdout is redirected (Unix)
|
|
// - Resize detection (SIGWINCH on Unix, callback on WASM)
|
|
// - Clean terminal restoration on exit/panic
|
|
//
|
|
// # Platform Support
|
|
//
|
|
// The package uses build tags to separate platform-specific code:
|
|
//
|
|
// - unix: Native terminal via termios, unix.Poll, SIGWINCH
|
|
// - wasm: Browser terminal via xterm.js JavaScript bridge
|
|
//
|
|
// # Architecture
|
|
//
|
|
// The Backend interface abstracts platform-specific operations:
|
|
//
|
|
// Backend (interface)
|
|
// ├── unixBackend (//go:build unix) - termios, raw I/O, signals
|
|
// └── wasmBackend (//go:build wasm) - syscall/js, callbacks
|
|
//
|
|
// Shared code (no build tags): Terminal interface, cell diffing, ANSI generation,
|
|
// escape sequence parsing.
|
|
//
|
|
// # WASM Integration
|
|
//
|
|
// WASM builds require JavaScript glue exposing these globals:
|
|
//
|
|
// goTerminalWrite(Uint8Array) // Go → JS: terminal output
|
|
// goTerminalInput(Uint8Array) // JS → Go: keyboard input
|
|
// goTerminalResize(cols, rows) // JS → Go: terminal resize
|
|
// xterm.cols, xterm.rows // Initial size query
|
|
//
|
|
// # Performance
|
|
//
|
|
// Output uses cell-level diffing. Only changed cells generate ANSI sequences.
|
|
// Style attributes are coalesced to minimize SGR calls. One goroutine writes
|
|
// what is rendered, so a terminal that stops reading never holds the caller:
|
|
// Flush keeps the newest frame until the write in flight returns, and Blocked
|
|
// reports how long it has waited.
|
|
// Input parsing is zero-allocation for common cases.
|
|
//
|
|
// This package bypasses terminfo/termcap entirely, emitting direct ANSI sequences.
|
|
// Target environments: Linux, macOS, BSDs with xterm-compatible terminals, and
|
|
// modern browsers with xterm.js.
