vt-rs

Rust bindings for the Linux virtual terminal APIs.

Documentation: https://docs.rs/vt

Example

use std::io::Write;
use vt::Console;

// First of all, get a handle to the console
let console = Console::open().unwrap();

// Allocate a new virtual terminal
let mut vt = console.new_vt().unwrap();

// Write something to it.
// A `Vt` structure implements both `std::io::Read` and `std::io::Write`.
writeln!(vt, "Hello world!");

// Switch to the newly allocated terminal
vt.switch().unwrap();
