Create a Term & Run chars on this Term
hi floks !
i'd like to know how can i transmete a character or a string from my source code to a term and make it interpret or un by the shell wich is running in my term.
I'd like to create a Term from my code (and get its file descriptor) and then transmete each char typed on the keyboard to this Term.
The easier way to do it seemed to be redirection :
ex: echo "ls -al" > /dev/pts/mytty
but the command is not runned on the console
then i tried to write directly on the file :
ex: fp=fopen("/dev/pts/mytty","w"); fputs("ls -al\n",fp);
but the command is only written on the output of the term but not runned on the shell.
if someone has an idea, it'll be great

term::size::any
Term::Size::Any(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Term::Size::Any(3pm)
NAME
Term::Size::Any - Retrieve terminal size
SYNOPSIS
# the traditional way
use Term::Size::Any qw( chars pixels );
($columns, $rows) = chars *STDOUT{IO};
($x, $y) = pixels;
DESCRIPTION
This is a unified interface to retrieve terminal size. It loads one module of a list of known alternatives, each implementing some way to
get the desired terminal information. This loaded module will actually do the job on behalf of "Term::Size::Any".
Thus, "Term::Size::Any" depends on the availability of one of these modules:
Term::Size (soon to be supported)
Term::Size::Perl
Term::Size::ReadKey (soon to be supported)
Term::Size::Win32
This release fallbacks to Term::Size::Win32 if running in Windows 32 systems. For other platforms, it uses the first of Term::Size::Perl,
Term::Size or Term::Size::ReadKey which loads successfully. (To be honest, I disabled the fallback to Term::Size and Term::Size::ReadKey
which are buggy by now.)
FUNCTIONS
The traditional interface is by importing functions "chars" and "pixels" into the caller's space.
chars
($columns, $rows) = chars($h);
$columns = chars($h);
"chars" returns the terminal size in units of characters corresponding to the given filehandle $h. If the argument is omitted,
*STDIN{IO} is used. In scalar context, it returns the terminal width.
pixels
($x, $y) = pixels($h);
$x = pixels($h);
"pixels" returns the terminal size in units of pixels corresponding to the given filehandle $h. If the argument is omitted, *STDIN{IO}
is used. In scalar context, it returns the terminal width.
Many systems with character-only terminals will return "(0, 0)".
SEE ALSO
It all began with Term::Size by Tim Goodwin. You may want to have a look at:
Term::Size
Term::Size::Perl
Term::Size::Win32
Term::Size::ReadKey
