💅 term — General terminal control 💅

okay bestie, so this is term, a page from the Tcllib manual, and I need you to sit down for this one because the tea is genuinely wild: the package is empty. Not "kind of thin." Not "early days, be nice." Empty empty. Let's get into it.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

package require Tcl 8.5 9

package require term ?0.2?

so yeah, she needs Tcl 8.5 through 9 to even load, and the package version is ?0.2? (the question marks mean optional, as always — it'll take whatever version it can get, no cap).

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the plan, the vision, the main character dream, is that this package was gonna hand you highlevel general terminal control commands, in the vein of ncurses or similar packages. very "I'm gonna make the terminal do cute things" energy.

Currently nothing has been implemented however. I.e. this package is empty. It can be loaded, yet provides nothing. 💀

That's it. That's the whole description. She loads! She just... has nothing to say. It's giving an empty group chat. It's giving a gift bag with no gift. It's giving require and receive nothing back, fr fr.

not me reading a whole manpage for a package that does literally nothing 😭 but like — it loads successfully, and that's a real, loadable, versioned package, so technically she ate 💅

🙈 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK 🙈

This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. bestie I know, I know. Please report such in the category term of the Tcllib Trackers at http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation. like honestly for THIS package the enhancement ideas are the whole package, go wild, I'm obsessed 🫶

When proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e the output of diff -u.

Note further that attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. Attachments can be made by going to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar. left-most button, bestie. it's right there. slay.

okay that's the whole page, bestie — this came out of tcllib, version 0.2, and yeah, term(n) really is a manual page for a package that does absolutely nothing yet. iconic behaviour honestly. go forth and load her anyway ✨💖🦋
