💅 NAME 💅

Term::Completion::_termsize — it's the little utility package whose whole job is figuring out how big your terminal window is 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so bestie, listen. This is a utility package, which is fancy speak for "it's not the main character, it's the supporting bestie" 🫶. Inside it lives a method that Term::Completion needs in order to figure out the size of your current terminal window — that's the columns and the rows, both of them, no cap.

How does it do it? Iconic behaviour, honestly:

  • It uses Term::Size if that's available 💜
  • If it's not available, it tries to fall back on the "ioctl" in perlfunc plus some header files 😭

Like, it's giving resourceful. It's giving "I'll make it work either way." Periodt.

🌸 Methods 🌸

  • get_term_size() — returns the terminal size as a list of columns and rows. That's it. That's the whole method. Slay. ✨
