Provides Java bindings for various native APIs. # Available bindings ## Generic * Get and set UNIX file mode. * Get PID of current process. ## Terminal and console These bindings work for both the UNIX terminal and Windows console: * Determine if stdout/stderr are attached to a terminal. * Query the terminal size. * Switch between bold and normal mode on the terminal. * Change foreground color on the terminal. * Move terminal cursor up, down, left, right, start of line. * Clear to end of line. Currently ported to OS X, Linux and Windows. Tested on: * OS X 10.7.4 * Ubunutu 12.04 (amd64) * Windows 7 (amd64) # Building ## Ubuntu The g++ compiler is required to build the native library. Generally this is already installed. You need to install the `libncurses5-dev` package to pick up the ncurses header files. Also worth installing the `ncurses-doc` package too. ## Windows You need to install Visual studio, and build from a Visual studio command prompt. ## OS X The g++ compiler is required to build the native library. You will need to install the XCode tools. # TODO * Fix TERM=dumb * Split out separate native library for terminal handling. * String names for errno values. * Split into multiple projects. * Handle multiple architectures. * IBM JVM. * Convert to c. * Thread safety. * Windows: flush System.out or System.err on attribute change.
