Micah Cowan - "Exploring the Terminal"
Location:
Davis Public Library, Blanchard Room
Everything you ever wanted to know about the terminal:
- how terminals work,
- the special codes used to move the cursor to different positions,
set colors and graphical effects, draw dialogs, or designate character
encodings,
- the terminfo and termcap databases for terminal features,
and how to:
- make a custom color bash prompt,
- record and play back terminal sessions,
- create interactive demos to run on the terminal, and
- manage a set of "virtual" terminals you can disconnect from and
reconnect to, using tools called terminal multiplexers.
Various useful utility programs will be covered in the course of this
talk, including:
- script, scriptreplay
- Record and playback terminal sessions.
- teseq, reseq
- Written by the speaker.
Explain invisible sequences of characters that control the
terminal, using plain English, and turn those explanations back
into terminal control sequences.
Also useful for creating interactive demos to run on the terminal,
out of terminal sessions recorded with the script command
(above).
- screen, tmux
- Portions written by the speaker.
Set up terminals you can detach from, and reconnect to later
(very useful for leaving things running on a server, and
reconnecting from elsewhere to see the results).
- prompt-jobs.sh
- Written by the speaker.
Instantly add color and an abbreviated suspended jobs list to your
interactive shell prompt.
Note on this talk's technical level: Terminal features can be a
very technical subject; however, it is believed that there will be
something of interest to audience members of any technical skill, if
they find themselves using the terminal. No previous knowledge
of terminals will be assumed for this talk.
