Icod.TermInfo.Source 1.2.0

Icod.TermInfo.Source

Icod.TermInfo.Source is the optional managed terminfo source-language layer for Icod.TermInfo.

The package is intentionally separate from the stable runtime package. Ordinary applications that only load compiled terminfo or use TerminalDescription values continue to reference Icod.TermInfo alone.

Install

For the 1.2.0 release:

dotnet add package Icod.TermInfo.Source --version 1.2.0

The package depends on the matching Icod.TermInfo version and targets net8.0, net9.0, and net10.0.

Version 1.2.0 coordinates Source with the 1.2 compiler release and does not change the frozen 1.1 source-language public API or semantics.

What the 1.1 line provides

The completed 1.1 source-language path includes:

• deterministic .ti lexical analysis with source spans and diagnostics;
• terminfo string and numeric source-value semantics;
• unresolved documents, entries, fields, aliases, and descriptions;
• standard and extended capability classification against the runtime catalog;
• cancellation and use= inheritance;
• bounded inheritance-depth and source-size handling;
• materialization into the same immutable TerminalDescription model used by compiled acquisition;
• duplicate source-name and alias warnings with deterministic first-source-order lookup;
• a checked-in System V/ncurses-oriented source corpus, deterministic mutation fuzzing, and offline T29 source/compiled compatibility fixtures.

No host tic, infocmp, ncurses library, or native payload is required at runtime or by normal CI.

Typical flow

Parse source, resolve a named entry, and materialize it into the runtime model:

using Icod.TermInfo;
using Icod.TermInfo.Source;

TermInfoSourceParseResult parsed =
    TermInfoSourceParser.Parse(
        source,
        "example.ti"
    );

if ( parsed.HasErrors ) {
    throw new InvalidOperationException(
        "The terminfo source contains errors."
    );
}

TermInfoSourceResolveResult resolved =
    TermInfoSourceResolver.Resolve(
        parsed.Document,
        "example"
    );

if ( resolved.Entry is null ) {
    throw new InvalidOperationException(
        "The terminfo entry could not be resolved."
    );
}

TerminalDescription terminal =
    resolved.Entry.ToTerminalDescription();

For source sets that are not already held in one parsed document, use the ITermInfoSourceEntryProvider resolver overload. Provider misses become source diagnostics; provider failures propagate rather than being collapsed into clean misses.

The runtime dependency direction is one-way:

Icod.TermInfo.Source
        |
        v
  Icod.TermInfo

Icod.TermInfo does not depend on this package.
