perl-Term-Size
Retrieve terminal size (Unix version)
THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL PATCH AGAINST Term-Size 0.2 DISTRIBUTION FOUND ON CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/~timpx/Term-Size-0.2/). IT IS UNOFFICIAL IN THE SENSE THAT THE AUTHOR Tim Goodwin HASN'T APPROVED IT (YET, I HOPE). BECAUSE OF THIS, THIS DISTRIBUTION IS NOT INDEXED AND AVAILABLE VIA cpan OR cpanp SHELLS UNLESS YOU EXPLICITLY SAY "install FERREIRA/Term-Size-0.203.tar.gz". THIS IS UNDELICATE? I THINK IT IS IN A CERTAIN SENSE. BUT IT IS A WAY TO UNFREEZE THE CURRENT DISTRIBUTION STATUS. IF TIM DISAPPROVES, I WILL REMOVE THIS DISTRIBUTION RIGHT AWAY. IF HE APPROVES, I WILL REMOVE THIS DISTRIBUTION RIGHT AWAY AND WORK OUT (AFTER BEEN GIVEN MAINTAINERSHIP STATUS) A DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT THIS NOTE AND WHICH INDEXES CORRECTLY. *Term::Size* is a Perl module which provides a straightforward way to retrieve the terminal size. Both functions take an optional filehandle argument, which defaults to '*STDIN{IO}'. They both return a list of two values, which are the current width and height, respectively, of the terminal associated with the specified filehandle. 'Term::Size::chars' returns the size in units of characters, whereas 'Term::Size::pixels' uses units of pixels. In a scalar context, both functions return the first element of the list, that is, the terminal width. The functions may be imported. If you need to pass a filehandle to either of the 'Term::Size' functions, beware that the '*STDOUT{IO}' syntax is only supported in Perl 5.004 and later. If you have an earlier version of Perl, or are interested in backwards compatibility, use '*STDOUT' instead.
