termtest/conpty

Support for the Windows pseudo console in Go.

Developed as part of the cross-platform terminal automation library expect for the ActiveState state tool.

Example

See ./cmd/example/main.go

Client configuration

On Windows, you may have to adjust the programme that you are running in the pseudo-console, by configuring the standard output handler to process virtual terminal codes. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/setconsolemode

This package comes with a convenience function InitTerminal() that you can use in your client to set this option.

Documentation

Overview

Package conpty provides functions for creating a process attached to a ConPTY pseudo-terminal. This allows the process to call console specific API functions without an actual terminal being present.

The concept is best explained in this blog post: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-line-introducing-the-windows-pseudo-console-conpty/
