💖 Slang(3pm) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Slang — the third-section Perl manual page for Term::Slang, your lil' bridge into the S-Lang terminal library. this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation situation, so grab a snack, hydrate, and let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Term::Slang — Interface to the S-Lang terminal library.

like. that's the whole vibe. a Perl interface. to S-Lang. terminal library energy only 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the incantation, copy it exactly bestie, no typos:

use Term::Slang qw(:all);

SLtt_get_terminfo(); SLang_init_tty(-1,0,1);

SLsig_block_signals();

SLsmg_init_smg;

SLsig_unblock_signals();

SLkp_init();

and yes, the order matters — you're pulling in everything with qw(:all), grabbing the terminfo, spinning up the tty with SLang_init_tty(-1,0,1), blocking your signals while you SLsmg_init_smg, unblocking them again, and then SLkp_init() to finish. it's giving ritual. it's giving setup sequence. periodt ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋
