# The devel/p5-Term-ReadLine-TTYtter port

## p5-Term-ReadLine-TTYtter-1.4p2 – Readline Library Wrapper Module for Twitter

## Description

    This is Term::ReadLine::TTYtter. It is a modified version of T::RL:Perl
    with several new nonstandard features specific to TTYtter, but may be
    useful for other applications.

    It also allows UTF-8 charaters to be entered without crashing, and adds
    a counter so you can see how many characters you've entered (which is a
    big deal for Twitter and other microblogging platforms).

    These methods are additionally defined, which are non-standard:

    * removereadline method: erases the current prompt from the screen
    * redisplay method: repaints the current prompt from the screen
    * hook_background_control method: connects the interactive readline
           prompt to a PID specified by $main::child. The PID is then sent
           signal SIGUSR1 when a character is beginning processing (i.e.,
           the process needs to NOT write to the screen), and SIGUSR2 when
           done (i.e., the process can write again).
    * hook_use_ansi: same, but connects to $main::dont_use_counter (1 =
           disable_counter). Useful for prompts where this is irrelevant.
    * hook_no_tco: this is Twitter specific. See code.

    (The use of hooks into $main:: was so that the calling convention of
    &readline would not have to be disturbed to pass additional options.)
