Class JniTerminalProvider

java.lang.Object

org.jline.terminal.impl.jni.JniTerminalProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

TerminalProvider

public class JniTerminalProvider
extends Object
implements TerminalProvider

Terminal provider implementation that uses JNI (Java Native Interface) to access native terminal functionality.

This provider requires the JLine native library to be loaded, which is handled by JLineNativeLoader. The native library provides access to low-level terminal operations that are not available through standard Java APIs.

The native library is automatically loaded when this provider is used. If the library cannot be loaded, the provider will not be available and JLine will fall back to other available providers.

The native library loading can be configured using system properties as documented in JLineNativeLoader.

Constructor Details

JniTerminalProvider

public JniTerminalProvider()

Creates a new JNI terminal provider instance and ensures the native library is loaded.

The constructor initializes the JLine native library using JLineNativeLoader.initialize(). If the native library cannot be loaded, methods in this provider may throw exceptions when used.

Method Details

name

public String name()

Description copied from interface: TerminalProvider

Returns the name of this terminal provider.

The provider name is a unique identifier that can be used to request this specific provider when creating terminals. Common provider names include "ffm", "jni", "jansi", "jna", "exec", and "dumb".

Specified by:

name in interface TerminalProvider

Returns:

the name of this terminal provider

current

public Pty current(SystemStream systemStream)
            throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

open

public Pty open(Attributes attributes,
 Size size)
         throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

sysTerminal

public Terminal sysTerminal(String name,
 String type,
 boolean ansiPassThrough,
 Charset encoding,
 boolean nativeSignals,
 Terminal.SignalHandler signalHandler,
 boolean paused,
 SystemStream systemStream)
                     throws IOException

Description copied from interface: TerminalProvider

Creates a terminal connected to a system stream.

This method creates a terminal that is connected to one of the standard system streams (standard input, standard output, or standard error). Such terminals typically represent the actual terminal window or console that the application is running in.

Specified by:

sysTerminal in interface TerminalProvider

Parameters:

name - the name of the terminal

type - the terminal type (e.g., "xterm", "dumb")

ansiPassThrough - whether to pass through ANSI escape sequences

encoding - the character encoding to use

nativeSignals - whether to use native signal handling

signalHandler - the signal handler to use

paused - whether the terminal should start in a paused state

systemStream - the system stream to connect to

Returns:

a new terminal connected to the specified system stream

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

winSysTerminal

public Terminal winSysTerminal(String name,
 String type,
 boolean ansiPassThrough,
 Charset encoding,
 boolean nativeSignals,
 Terminal.SignalHandler signalHandler,
 boolean paused,
 SystemStream systemStream)
                        throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

posixSysTerminal

public Terminal posixSysTerminal(String name,
 String type,
 boolean ansiPassThrough,
 Charset encoding,
 boolean nativeSignals,
 Terminal.SignalHandler signalHandler,
 boolean paused,
 SystemStream systemStream)
                          throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

newTerminal

public Terminal newTerminal(String name,
 String type,
 InputStream in,
 OutputStream out,
 Charset encoding,
 Terminal.SignalHandler signalHandler,
 boolean paused,
 Attributes attributes,
 Size size)
                     throws IOException

Description copied from interface: TerminalProvider

Creates a new terminal with custom input and output streams.

This method creates a terminal that is connected to the specified input and output streams. Such terminals can be used for various purposes, such as connecting to remote terminals over network connections or creating virtual terminals for testing.

Specified by:

newTerminal in interface TerminalProvider

Parameters:

name - the name of the terminal

type - the terminal type (e.g., "xterm", "dumb")

in - the input stream to read from

out - the output stream to write to

encoding - the character encoding to use

signalHandler - the signal handler to use

paused - whether the terminal should start in a paused state

attributes - the initial terminal attributes

size - the initial terminal size

Returns:

a new terminal connected to the specified streams

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

isSystemStream

public boolean isSystemStream(SystemStream stream)

Description copied from interface: TerminalProvider

Checks if the specified system stream is available on this platform.

This method determines whether the specified system stream (standard input, standard output, or standard error) is available for use on the current platform. Some platforms or environments may restrict access to certain system streams.

Specified by:

isSystemStream in interface TerminalProvider

Parameters:

stream - the system stream to check

Returns:

true if the system stream is available, false otherwise

isWindowsSystemStream

public boolean isWindowsSystemStream(SystemStream stream)

Returns:

the name of the system stream on this platform

systemStreamWidth

public int systemStreamWidth(SystemStream stream)
