Icod.DCurses

Icod.DCurses is a managed, cross-platform curses-like terminal UI library for .NET.

The library is intended to sit above Icod.TermInfo and the neutral terminal control substrate used by the Icod libraries. It will own live terminal-session lifecycle, input events, virtual screens and windows, terminal-cell styling, refresh/damage synchronization, resize handling, and safe restoration.

Status

The project is under active development toward version 0.1.0.

The first release is being driven by the requirements of top, slabtop, and watch. T01 establishes the repository, solution, package, test, sample, and CI foundation. The public curses/session API begins in subsequent 0.1.0 tranches.

See Icod.DCurses-Development-Roadmap.md for the development contract through 1.0.0.

Architecture

top / slabtop / watch / other TUIs
                 |
            Icod.DCurses
           /            \
  Icod.TermInfo    terminal control
           \            /
            terminal / tty

Icod.TermInfo remains the terminal-capability authority. Icod.DCurses will use those capabilities to operate live interactive terminal sessions rather than hard-coding one terminal family.

Target

The initial implementation targets:

  • .NET 10
  • C# 13
  • Windows
  • Linux
  • macOS

The initial runtime dependencies are:

  • Icod.TermInfo
  • Icod.CommandFramework

The dependency on Icod.CommandFramework is limited architecturally to the neutral terminal-control substrate and may be revisited before 1.0.0.

Build

From the repository root:

build.cmd

or:

./build.sh

Both scripts perform clean, restore, build, test, and pack operations by default and also accept one of those phase names individually.
