Constructor

TermboxTerminalnew_for_fd

Declaration

TbgTerminal*
tbg_terminal_new_for_fd (
  int fd,
  GError** error
)

Description

Initialize termbox from an existing terminal file descriptor and return the terminal singleton.

If a terminal already exists, this fails with TBG_ERROR_INIT_ALREADY. Use tbg_terminal_get_default() to retrieve the existing terminal. Otherwise this initializes termbox using fd and creates a new TbgTerminal. The caller retains ownership of fd and must keep it valid for the lifetime of the terminal.

Parameters

fd

Type: int

A terminal file descriptor.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the constructor if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: TbgTerminal

A TbgTerminal, or NULL on error.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.

The return value can be NULL.
