| # Moterm |
| |
| `moterm` is an application that provides an embeddable view, which provides a |
| VT100-style terminal that its embedder can connect to other applications. It is |
| not useful as a standalone application (embedded by something, like a window |
| manager, that is not aware of how to control it). |
| |
| For an example of an embedder that's useful as a standalone application, see the |
| [Moterm example application](../../examples/moterm_example_app). |
| |
| ## Details |
| |
| `moterm` exposes the `mojo.terminal.Terminal` interface to its embedder. Via |
| this interface, its embedder may connect to the terminal directly (for direct |
| input/output with the terminal) or request that the terminal connect to another |
| application. In the latter case, that application should implement the |
| `mojo.terminal.TerminalClient` interface. |
| |
| Output to/input from the terminal is done via a `mojo.files.File` that behaves |
| "like a terminal" (in much the same way as in Unix one has terminal device |
| files and file descriptors to them). |
