Overview

The Terminal Emulation library provides a comprehensive API for emulating an ANSI or DEC-VT220 terminal, with full support for all standard escape and control sequences, color mapping and other advanced features. The library functions provide both a high level interface for parsing escape sequences and updating a display, as well as lower level primitives for directly managing the virtual display, such as controlling the individual display cells, moving the cursor position and specifying display attributes.

This library can be used in conjunction with the Remote Command, Secure Shell or Telnet Protocol libraries to provide terminal emulation services for an application, or it can be used independently. For example, this library could be used to provide emulation services for a program that connects to a device using an RS-232 serial port.

Requirements

The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with any programming language which supports calling functions exported from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual C++ 6.0 it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. You should install all updates for your development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed. The minimum recommended version of Visual Studio is Visual Studio 2010.

This library is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service pack and all critical updates available for your version of the operating system.

This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native 64-bit CPU support requires the 64-bit version of Windows 7 or later versions of the Windows operating system.

Distribution

When you distribute your application that uses this library, it is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your application executable. If you install the library into a shared location on the system, it is important that you distribute the correct version for the target platform and it should be registered as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library, not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM registration.
