Constructor

TermboxTerminalnew_for_path

Declaration 

TbgTerminal*
tbg_terminal_new_for_path (
  const char* path,
  GError** error
)

Description

Initialize termbox from a terminal device path 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 opens path, initializes termbox, and creates a new TbgTerminal. Termbox owns the opened file descriptor and closes it during shutdown.

Parameters

path

Type: const char*

Path to the terminal device to open.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
The value is a platform-native string, using the preferred OS encoding on Unix and UTF-8 on Windows.
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.
