BarnabasBox

BarnabasBox is a bare-minimum TUI library. It is written with common Linux distributions in mind and while it may work on other operating systems, there is no guarantee for this.

But why?

Because I can. Also, statically linked binaries using Termbox2 are too large (a.k.a. bloat).

What about the name?

[…] And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus […]

Acts 4:36

Barnabas is a cool name, period. Also, I didn't come up with a better name when I named my files.

Dependencies

• libc (including an implementation of termios.h and stdio.h)
• terminal supporting ECMA-48
• C compiler (i.e. gcc or cproc)

Build

Type make if you have make installed. Edit the Makefile to suit your wishes.

Otherwise, you can compile each file manually with CC -c -o name-of-file.o name-of-file.c, where CC is your C compiler and name-of-file the file you want to compile. After that, the command ar -rc libbarnabas.a *.o should yield a static library ready for use.

Usage

#include "barnabas.h"

int main() {
	// Initialize TUI
	binit();
	
	bputs("Hello, World!");
	fgetc(stdin);

	// Clear screen
	bwash();
	
	// Get terminal size
	int row, col;
	bsize(&row, &col);

	// Input prompt
	char str[64];
	bread(str, 64, "Type something here: ");
	bputs(str);

	fgetc(stdin);
	
	// Deinitialize TUI
	bquit();
}
