It is not * unlike the famous AAlib library. \e libcaca can use almost any virtual * terminal to work, thus it should work on all Unix systems (including * Mac OS X) using either the slang library or the ncurses library, on DOS * using the conio library, and on Windows systems using either slang or * ncurses (through Cygwin emulation) or conio. There is also a native X11 * driver, and an OpenGL driver (through freeglut) that does not require a * text terminal. For machines without a screen, the raw driver can be used * to send the output to another machine, using for instance cacaserver. * * \e libcaca is free software, released under the Do What The Fuck You * Want To Public License. This ensures that no one, not even the \e libcaca * developers, will ever have anything to say about what you do with the * software. It used to be licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public * License, but that was not free enough. * * \section api The libcaca API * * \e libcaca relies on a low-level, device independent library, called * \e libcucul. \e libcucul can be used alone as a simple ASCII and/or * Unicode compositing canvas. * * The complete \e libcucul and \e libcaca programming interface is * available from the cucul.h and caca.h headers. * * \section env Environment variables * * Some environment variables can be used to change the behaviour of * \e libcaca without having to modify the program which uses them. These * variables are: * * \li \b CACA_DRIVER: set the backend video driver. In order of preference: * - \c conio uses the DOS conio.h interface. * - \c ncurses uses the ncurses library. * - \c slang uses the S-Lang library. * - \c x11 uses the native X11 driver. * - \c gl uses freeglut and opengl libraries. * - \c raw outputs to the standard output instead of rendering the * canvas. This is can be used together with cacaserver. * * \li \b CACA_GEOMETRY: set the video display size. The format of this * variable must be XxY, with X and Y being integer values. This option * currently works with the network, X11 and GL drivers. * * \li \b CACA_FONT: set the rendered font. The format of this variable is * implementation dependent, but since it currently only works with the * X11 driver, an X11 font name such as "fixed" or "5x7" is expected. */ #ifndef __CACA_H__ #define __CACA_H__ /** libcaca API version */ #define CACA_API_VERSION_1 #include #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif /** \e libcaca context */ typedef struct caca caca_t; /** event structure */ typedef struct caca_event caca_event_t; /** \brief User events. * * This structure is filled by caca_get_event() when an event is received. * The \e type field is always valid.
