NAME
Terminology - Terminal Emulator written with EFL (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries).
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
This is an EFL terminal emulator with some extra bells and whistles. It has many features
including split terminal support, support for tabs, preview icons for files and so on...
OPTIONS
-e, --exec <cmnd>
Specify command to execute. Defaults to $SHELL (or passwd shell or /bin/sh) When
used along with -S/--split, each argument is used as a command for a split, leaving
away the extra arguments. With 3 splits, one vertical, a command on the right, an
horizontal split on the left with only a command on the bottom, the following
arguments should be used: --split v-h-- -e command1 $SHELL command2
-d=CURRENT-DIRECTORY, --current-directory=CURRENT-DIRECTORY
Change to directory for execution of terminal command. Type: STR.
-t=THEME, --theme=THEME

4 \000 char (nul byte or 0x00 to indicate end of sequence) e.g.
echo -n '\033}Hello world\000'
Commands:
any values inside square brackets [] are to be replaced by some content (numbers,
strings, paths, url's etc.). example:
aa[PATH-OF-FILE] should be come something like:
aa/tmp/file.png or aa[true/false] should become something like:
aatrue or
aafalse
---
pn[FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
popup the given media file/url now.
pq[FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
queue a popup for the given media file/url.
bt[FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
set the terminal background media file/url temporarily.
bp[FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
set the terminal background media file/url permanently.
at[on/true/yes/off/false/no]
set the terminal alpha state to be on, or off temporarily.
ap[on/true/yes/off/false/no]
set the terminal alpha state to be on, or off permanently.
qs
query grid and font size. stdin will have written to it:
W;H;FW;FH
where W is the width of the terminal grid in characters
where H is the height of the terminal grid in characters
where FW is the width of 1 character cell in pixels
where FH is the height of 1 character cell in pixels
is[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
insert STRETCHED media (where image will stretch to fill the
cell area) and define expected cell area to be W cells
wide and H cells high, with the image/media/url.
where C is the replace character to be identified in later
text where W is the width in character cells (up to 511).
where H is the height in character cells (up to 511).
note that this escape alone has no effect. It indicates a future intention of
inserting media into the terminal. the terminal will EXPECT a grid of WxH "replace
characters" to follow, with each sequence of such replace characters bebung with a
ib escape command and ending with an ie escape command.
the FULL-PATH-OR-URL for all the i commands (is,
ic, if, it) may be of the form:
/full/path/to/file.png
OR
/full/path/to/link0full/path/to/file.png
where a newline character separates a URI for a link and
a full path to a file to display in the region. the link
is the destination URI when a user may click on the given
media image.
example:
printf("\ 33}is#5;3;%s 00"
"\ 33}ib#####\ 33}ie\0
"\ 33}ib#####\ 33}ie\0
"\ 33}ib#####\ 33}ie\0, "/tmp/icon.png");
note that # is the replace character, and later # chars if inside begin/end
escapes, will be replaced by the given media indicated in the insert media escape.
ic[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
insert CENTERED media (centered in cell area). Otherwise
parameters are identical to the is command, but
retains aspect and is padded by blank space.
if[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
insert FILLED media (fill in cell area). Otherwise parameters
are identical to the is command but ensures the entire
area is filled like a background even if media goes beyond
cell bounds and is clipped.
it[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
insert THUMB media (thumbnail cell area). Otherwise parameters
are identical to the is command, but uses thumbnail
generation to make a fast to load but low resolution version
(cached) of the media.
it[CW;H;LINK\nFULL-PATH-OR-URL]
insert THUMB media with link (thumbnail cell area). Otherwise parameters
are identical to the is command, but uses thumbnail generation to
make a fast to load but low resolution version (cached) of the media.
LINK is a path (or url) to open _when_ the thumb is clicked on by the
user.
ij[CW;H;FULL-PATH\nGROUP][\n][cmd1][\r\n][cmd2]...
insert EDJE object with file path given, and the group name given.
The command list (and the \n whitespace delimiter before the list)
is optional, but is executed/parsed before display of the actual
object to do things like initialize its initial state. See `iC`
command for more details on the command list.
Be aware that once you have an object with an assigned channel id,
it can send back signals and messages via escapes on stdin. These
escapes will follow terminology extended escape format
(ESC + } ... 00), and the content will be one of:
;CHID\ndrag\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2
;CHID\ndrag,start\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2
;CHID\ndrag,stop\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2
;CHID\ndrag,step\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2
;CHID\drag,set\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2
signal;CHID\nSIGNAL STRING\nSOURCE STRING
message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nstring\nSTRING1

message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nstring_float_set\nSTRING1\nFLOAT1\nFLOAT2\nFLOAT3...
iC[CHID]\n[cmd1][\r\n][cmd2][\r\n][cmd3]...
send a COMMAND (cmd1, cmd2, cmd3 etc.) to an existing named
channel id CHID. this can be a list of 1 or more command strings,
with each string broken by a continuous sequence of 1 or more \r
and/or \n characters. e.g. "\n", "\r", "\r\n",
"\n\r", "\n\r\n\n\n", etc.
commands understood are:
text\nPART NAME\nTEXT STRING
set the text of "PART NAME" to string "TEXT STRING"
emit\nSIGNAL STRING\nSOURCE STRING
emit signal "SIGNAL STRING" "SOURCE STRING"
drag\nPART NAME\n[value|size|step|page]\nVAL1\nVAL2
manipulate dragable of name "PART NAME" and either set
"value", "size", "step" or "page" properties
to "VAL1" and "VAL2" for x and y, where
VAL1 and VAL2 are floating point values
chid\nCHANNEL ID
set the channel id of a given edje object (only valid in setup
commands for the inline edje object) to "CHANNEL ID" so it can
be addressed later.
message\nOPCODE ID\n[string|int|float|string_set|int_set|...
float_set|string|int|string_float|string_int_set|...
string_float_set]\n[message data]
send a message with opcode (integer) id "OPCODE ID" of one of
the given types supported ("string", "int", "float",
etc.) and then with the given "message data" at the end.
message data format depends on message type:
string: STRING1
int: INT1
float: FLOAT1
string_set: STRING1\nSTRING2\nSTRING3...
int_set: INT1\nINT2\nINT3...
float_set: FLOAT1\nFLOAT2\nFLOAT3...
string_int: STRING1\nINT1
string_float: STRING1\nFLOAT1
string_int_set: STRING1\nINT1\nINT2\nINT3...
string_float_set: STRING1\nFLOAT1\nFLOAT2\nFLOAT3...
ib
begin media replace sequence run.
ie
end media replace sequence run.
fr[PATH/FILE]
begin file send for a file named PATH / FILE
fs[SIZE_BYTES]
set the size in bytes of a file send started with the above fr escape
fd[CHECKSUM DATA]
block of data for the current file transfer with checksum as a
string decimal which is the sum of every byte when taken as an
unsigned char per byte. the checksum is a signed 32bit integer.
the checksum is the sum of the data after escaping. 4 bits at a
time per data byte, encoded with high bits in one byte then low
bits, with the bits encoded as 4 bit value being 0x40 + 4 bit value
per byte. (@ == 0x0, A == 0x1, B == 0x2, ... N == 0xe, O == 0xf).
so to rebuild a byte will be (((bytes[0] - 0x40) & 0xf) << 4) |
((bytes[1] - 0x40) & 0xf) per byte pair in the data block.
fx
exit file send mode (normally at the end of the file or when it's
complete)
