#
# Name: iolib.icn
#
# Title: Icon termlib-type tools for MS-DOS and UNIX
#
# Author: Richard L. Goerwitz (with help from Norman Azadian)
#
# Version: 1.9
#
#########################################################################
#
# The authors place this and future versions of iolib in the public
# domain.
#
#########################################################################
#
# The following library represents a series of rough functional
# equivalents to the standard Unix low-level termcap routines. It is
# not meant as an exact termlib clone. Nor is it enhanced to take
# care of magic cookie terminals, terminals that use \D in their
# termcap entries, or archaic terminals that require padding. This
# library is geared mainly for use with ANSI and VT-100 devices.
# Note that this file may, in most instances, be used in place of the
# older UNIX-only itlib.icn file. It essentially replaces the DOS-
# only itlibdos routines. For DOS users not familiar with the whole
# notion of generalized screen I/O, I've included extra documentation
# below. Please read it.
#
# The sole disadvantage of this over the old itlib routines is that
# iolib.icn cannot deal with archaic or arcane UNIX terminals and/or
# odd system file arrangements. Note that because these routines
# ignore padding, they can (unlike itlib.icn) be run on the NeXT and
# other systems which fail to implement the -g option of the stty
# command. Iolib.icn is also simpler and faster than itlib.icn.
#
# I want to thank Norman Azadian for suggesting the whole idea of
# combining itlib.icn and itlibdos.icn into one distribution, for
# suggesting things like letting drive specifications appear in DOS
# TERMCAP environment variables, and for finding several bugs (e.g.
# the lack of support for %2 and %3 in cm). Although he is loathe
# to accept this credit, I think he deserves it.
#
#########################################################################
#
# Contents:
#
# setname(term)
# Use only if you wish to initialize itermlib for a terminal
# other than what your current environment specifies. "Term" is the
# name of the termcap entry to use. Normally this initialization is
# done automatically, and need not concern the user.
#
# getval(id)
# Works something like tgetnum, tgetflag, and tgetstr. In the
# spirit of Icon, all three have been collapsed into one routine.
# Integer valued caps are returned as integers, strings as strings,
# and flags as records (if a flag is set, then type(flag) will return
# "true"). Absence of a given capability is signalled by procedure
# failure.
#
# igoto(cm,destcol,destline) - NB: default 1 offset (*not* zero)!
# Analogous to tgoto. "Cm" is the cursor movement command for
# the current terminal, as obtained via getval("cm"). Igoto()
# returns a string which, when output via iputs, will cause the
# cursor to move to column "destcol" and line "destline." Column and
# line are always calculated using a *one* offset. This is far more
# Iconish than the normal zero offset used by tgoto. If you want to
# go to the first square on your screen, then include in your program
# "iputs(igoto(getval("cm"),1,1))."
#
# iputs(cp,affcnt)
# Equivalent to tputs. "Cp" is a string obtained via getval(),
# or, in the case of "cm," via igoto(getval("cm"),x,y). Affcnt is a
# count of affected lines. It is completely irrelevant for most
# modern terminals, and is supplied here merely for the sake of
# backward compatibility with itlib, a UNIX-only version of these
# routines (one which handles padding on archaic terminals).
#
##########################################################################
#
# Notes for MS-DOS users:
#
# There are two basic reasons for using the I/O routines
# contained in this package. First, by using a set of generalized
# routines, your code will become much more readable. Secondly, by
# using a high level interface, you can avoid the cardinal
# programming error of hard coding things like screen length and
# escape codes into your programs.
#
# To use this collection of programs, you must do two things.
# First, you must add the line "device=ansi.sys" (or the name of some
# other driver, like zansi.sys, nansi.sys, or nnansi.sys [=new
# nansi.sys]) to your config.sys file. Secondly, you must add two
# lines to your autoexec.bat file: 1) "set TERM=ansi-mono" and 2)
# "set TERMCAP=\location\termcap." The purpose of setting the TERM
# variable is to tell this program what driver you are using. If you
# have a color system, you could use "ansi-color" instead of
# "ansi-mono," although for compatibility with a broader range of
# users, it would perhaps be better to stick with mono. The purpose
# of setting TERMCAP is to make it possible to determine where the
# termcap database file is located. The termcap file (which should
# have been packed with this library as termcap.dos) is a short
# database of all the escape sequences used by the various terminal
# drivers. Set TERMCAP so that it reflects the location of this file
# (which should be renamed as termcap, for the sake of consistency
# across UNIX and MS-DOS spectra). If desired, you can also try
# using termcap2.dos. Certain games work a lot better using this
# alternate file. To try it out, rename it to termcap, and set
# the environment variable TERMCAP to its location.
#
# Although the authors make no pretense of providing here a
# complete introduction to the format of the termcap database file,
# it will be useful, we believe, to explain a few basic facts about
# how to use this program in conjunction with it. If, say, you want
# to clear the screen, add the line,
#
# iputs(getval("cl"))
#
# to your program. The function iputs() outputs screen control
# sequences. Getval retrieves a specific sequence from the termcap
# file. The string "cl" is the symbol used in the termcap file to
# mark the code used to clear the screen. By executing the
# expression "iputs(getval("cl"))," you are 1) looking up the "cl"
# (clear) code in the termcap database entry for your terminal, and
# the 2) outputting that sequence to the screen.
#
# Some other useful termcap symbols are "ce" (clear to end of
# line), "ho" (go to the top left square on the screen), "so" (begin
# standout mode), and "se" (end standout mode). To output a
# boldfaced string, str, to the screen, you would write -
#
# iputs(getval("so"))
# writes(str)
# iputs(getval("se"))
#
# You can also write "writes(getval("so") || str || getval("se")),
# but this would make reimplementation for UNIX terminals that
# require padding rather difficult.
#
# It is also heartily to be recommended that MS-DOS programmers
# try not to assume that everyone will be using a 25-line screen.
# Most terminals are 24-line. Some 43. Some have variable window
# sizes. If you want to put a status line on, say, the 2nd-to-last
# line of the screen, then determine what that line is by executing
# "getval("li")." The termcap database holds not only string-valued
# sequences, but numeric ones as well. The value of "li" tells you
# how many lines the terminal has (compare "co," which will tell you
# how many columns). To go to the beginning of the second-to-last
# line on the screen, type in:
#
# iputs(igoto(getval("cm"), 1, getval("li")-1))
#
# The "cm" capability is a special capability, and needs to be output
# via igoto(cm,x,y), where cm is the sequence telling your computer
# to move the cursor to a specified spot, x is the column, and y is
# the row. The expression "getval("li")-1" will return the number of
# the second-to-last line on your screen.
