Properties

Force16Colors: Determines if driver instances should use 16 colors instead of the default TrueColors.

SizeDetection: Controls how the ANSI driver detects the terminal's window size. Defaults to AnsiQuery, which sends a CSI 18t ANSI escape-sequence query to obtain the terminal size. Set to Polling to use a synchronous native syscall (ioctl on Unix, Console API on Windows) instead — useful when the ANSI query response does not reflect the remote terminal size (e.g., over an SSH tunnel).

Methods

IsAttachedToTerminal(out bool, out bool): Determines whether the process is attached to a real terminal (i.e. stdin/stdout are connected to a console device rather than redirected or running inside a test harness). Set the environment variable "DisableRealDriverIO=1" to skip real terminal detection and force this method to return false, which is required for running in test harnesses that do not have a real terminal attached.

Events

Force16ColorsChanged: Raised when Force16Colors changes.
