Those are three different tools for more or less the same job. Eclipse
can do it already, so we don't need them in sbase.

Hello FRIGN,

the patch is for ubase, not sbase, which, by definitio, is ugly :D

Anyway, what you say may still hold true. The patch could be smaller if we
only deal with clear, init and reset parameters, as stated by POSIX. This
come by my mind, but after asking in #suckless, just got an answer from ??,
telling my to go full ncurses tput (which reminds me, it only deals with
string capabilities now -- will fix if it gets merged).

As for the line count, I don't think it's possibly to make any library
dealing with terminfo smaller by a significant amount (say, 10% less
lines). Take in account that the library must provide a parser for a
context-free grammar.

Aside, maybe tput is too much for ubase. It's listed in the TODO, but I
don't know if it's really needed.

Concluding, I sent the patch so you can judge if it's worthless to merge or
no. It wasn't wasted time, because it helped me to find bugs in my library
:D

Cheers.

:O

definitely too much man.

If we look at sbase, it has the following SLOC-count:

Totals grouped by language (dominant language first):
ansic:18805 (97.57%)
awk:255 (1.32%)
sh: 213 (1.11%)

do you really think it's a good idea to increase its size
by roughly 10% to accomodate one single command?

Cheers

[hackers][ubase][tput] tput(1)

[Lucas Gabriel Vuotto]

Hello suckless,

attached you will find two patches, one implementing a basic library for dealing
with terminfo capabilities and another implementing the tput command using that
library. The library itself is part of a bigger library from me, damned [0], for
TUI creation.

The library is work in progress, so it can be a little sucky or bloated at times
(after all, the terminal's world sucks), plus it may have some bugs. Found a lot
implementing tput and there are already plans for doing some things better. Any
feedback or suggestions are welcome.

It lacks a manpage. I might do one in the following weeks, but if there is any
candidate to do it, he/she will be welcome.

Hope it's useful for you guys, keep rockin'.

Cheers.
