# Flanterm Flanterm is a fast and reasonably complete terminal emulator with support for multiple output backends. Included is a fast framebuffer backend. ### Quick usage To quickly set up and use a framebuffer Flanterm instance, it is possible to use the `flanterm_fb_init()` function as such: ```c #include #include struct flanterm_context *ft_ctx = flanterm_fb_init( NULL, NULL, framebuffer_ptr, width, height, pitch, red_mask_size, red_mask_shift, green_mask_size, green_mask_shift, blue_mask_size, blue_mask_shift, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0 ); ``` Where `framebuffer_ptr, width, height, pitch` and `{red,green,blue}_mask_{size,shift}` represent the corresponding info about the framebuffer to use for this given instance. The meaning of the other arguments can be found in `flanterm_backends/fb.h`. To then print to the terminal instance, simply use the `flanterm_write()` function on the given instance. For example: ```c #include const char msg[] = "Hello world\n"; flanterm_write(ft_ctx, msg, sizeof(msg)); ```
