rust-curses

Rust interface to terminal curses library / libraries.

Eventually the goal is to provide a Rust-ic API in ncurses.rs, e.g. using RAII to ensure that you setup and teardown an ncurses context, and that you thread access to the terminal (or subwindows of it) via that context.

You can see a sample usage of the above in ncurses-intro.rs.

For now most functionality that you cannot access via that you can still get at via ncurses_core.rs, which is the (very thin) veneer over the ncurses.h header that pnkfelix found on his Mac. Sample uses of that module can be found in the various hello*.rs source files.


The contents of hello3.rs and hello4.rs are adapted from the ncurses tutorial, specifically helloworld and init.

The contents of rust.rs are adapted from /usr/include/ncurses.h, which have the following copyright notice:
