71 /**
72 * Base class for terminal emulation back-ends.
74 * The back-end is responsible for decoding an incoming character stream and
75 * producing an output image of characters.
77 * When input from the terminal is received, the receiveData() slot should be called with
78 * the data which has arrived. The emulation will process the data and update the
79 * screen image accordingly. The codec used to decode the incoming character stream
80 * into the unicode characters used internally can be specified using setCodec()
82 * The size of the screen image can be specified by calling setImageSize() with the
83 * desired number of lines and columns. When new lines are added, old content
84 * is moved into a history store, which can be set by calling setHistory().
86 * The screen image can be accessed by creating a ScreenWindow onto this emulation
87 * by calling createWindow(). Screen windows provide access to a section of the
88 * output. Each screen window covers the same number of lines and columns as the
89 * image size returned by imageSize(). The screen window can be moved up and down
90 * and provides transparent access to both the current on-screen image and the
91 * previous output. The screen windows emit an outputChanged signal
92 * when the section of the image they are looking at changes.
93 * Graphical views can then render the contents of a screen window, listening for notifications
94 * of output changes from the screen window which they are associated with and updating
95 * accordingly.
97 * The emulation also is also responsible for converting input from the connected views such
98 * as keypresses and mouse activity into a character string which can be sent
99 * to the terminal program. Key presses can be processed by calling the sendKeyEvent() slot,
100 * while mouse events can be processed using the sendMouseEvent() slot. When the character
101 * stream has been produced, the emulation will emit a sendData() signal with a pointer
102 * to the character buffer. This data should be fed to the standard input of the terminal
103 * process. The translation of key presses into an output character stream is performed
104 * using a lookup in a set of key bindings which map key sequences to output
105 * character sequences. The name of the key bindings set used can be specified using
106 * setKeyBindings()
108 * The emulation maintains certain state information which changes depending on the
109 * input received. The emulation can be reset back to its starting state by calling
110 * reset().
112 * The emulation also maintains an activity state, which specifies whether
113 * terminal is currently active ( when data is received ), normal
114 * ( when the terminal is idle or receiving user input ) or trying
115 * to alert the user ( also known as a "Bell" event ). The stateSet() signal
116 * is emitted whenever the activity state is set. This can be used to determine
117 * how long the emulation has been active/idle for and also respond to
118 * a 'bell' event in different ways.
