13 This is an EFL terminal emulator with some extra bells and whistles.
14 It has many features including split terminal support, support for
15 tabs, preview icons for files and so on...

18 -e, --exec <cmnd>
19 Specify command to execute. Defaults to $SHELL (or passwd shell
20 or /bin/sh) When used along with -S/--split, each argument is
21 used as a command for a split, leaving away the extra arguments.
22 With 3 splits, one vertical, a command on the right, an horizon‐
23 tal split on the left with only a command on the bottom, the
24 following arguments should be used: --split v-h-- -e command1
25 $SHELL command2
26 -d=CURRENT-DIRECTORY, --current-directory=CURRENT-DIRECTORY
28 Change to directory for execution of terminal command. Type:
29 STR.

342 Commands:
344 any values inside square brackets [] are to be replaced by some
346 content (numbers, strings, paths, url's etc.). example:
347 aa[PATH-OF-FILE] should be come something like:
349 aa/tmp/file.png or aa[true/false] should become something
350 like:
351 aatrue or
352 aafalse
353 ---
355 pn[FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
357 popup the given media file/url now.
358 pq[FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
360 queue a popup for the given media file/url.
361 bt[FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
363 set the terminal background media file/url temporarily.
364 bp[FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
366 set the terminal background media file/url permanently.
367 at[on/true/yes/off/false/no]
369 set the terminal alpha state to be on, or off temporarily.
370 ap[on/true/yes/off/false/no]
372 set the terminal alpha state to be on, or off permanently.
373 qs
375 query grid and font size. stdin will have written to it:
376 W;H;FW;FH
377 where W is the width of the terminal grid in characters
378 where H is the height of the terminal grid in characters
379 where FW is the width of 1 character cell in pixels
380 where FH is the height of 1 character cell in pixels
381 is[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
383 insert STRETCHED media (where image will stretch to fill the
384 cell area) and define expected cell area to be W cells
385 wide and H cells high, with the image/media/url.
386 where C is the replace character to be identified in later
387 text where W is the width in character cells (up to 511).
388 where H is the height in character cells (up to 511).
389 note that this escape alone has no effect. It indicates a
391 future intention of inserting media into the terminal. the ter‐
392 minal will EXPECT a grid of WxH "replace characters" to follow,
393 with each sequence of such replace characters bebung with a ib
394 escape command and ending with an ie escape command.
395 the FULL-PATH-OR-URL for all the i commands (is,
397 ic, if, it) may be of the form:
398 /full/path/to/file.png
400 OR
402 /full/path/to/link0full/path/to/file.png
404 where a newline character separates a URI for a link and
406 a full path to a file to display in the region. the link
407 is the destination URI when a user may click on the given
408 media image.
409 example:
411 printf("\ 33}is#5;3;%s 00"
413 "\ 33}ib#####\ 33}ie\0
414 "\ 33}ib#####\ 33}ie\0
415 "\ 33}ib#####\ 33}ie\0, "/tmp/icon.png");
416 note that # is the replace character, and later # chars if
418 inside begin/end escapes, will be replaced by the given media
419 indicated in the insert media escape.
420 ic[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
422 insert CENTERED media (centered in cell area). Otherwise
423 parameters are identical to the is command, but
424 retains aspect and is padded by blank space.
425 if[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
427 insert FILLED media (fill in cell area). Otherwise parameters
428 are identical to the is command but ensures the entire
429 area is filled like a background even if media goes beyond
430 cell bounds and is clipped.
431 it[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL]
433 insert THUMB media (thumbnail cell area). Otherwise parameters
434 are identical to the is command, but uses thumbnail
435 generation to make a fast to load but low resolution version
436 (cached) of the media.
437 it[CW;H;LINK\nFULL-PATH-OR-URL]
439 insert THUMB media with link (thumbnail cell area). Other‐
440 wise parameters
441 are identical to the is command, but uses thumbnail genera‐
442 tion to
443 make a fast to load but low resolution version (cached) of
444 the media.
445 LINK is a path (or url) to open _when_ the thumb is clicked
446 on by the
447 user.
448 ij[CW;H;FULL-PATH\nGROUP][\n][cmd1][\r\n][cmd2]...
450 insert EDJE object with file path given, and the group name
451 given.
452 The command list (and the \n whitespace delimiter before the
453 list)
454 is optional, but is executed/parsed before display of the
455 actual
456 object to do things like initialize its initial state. See
457 `iC`
458 command for more details on the command list.
459 Be aware that once you have an object with an assigned chan‐
461 nel id,
462 it can send back signals and messages via escapes on stdin.
463 These
464 escapes will follow terminology extended escape format
465 (ESC + } ... 00), and the content will be one of:
466 ;CHID\ndrag\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2
468 ;CHID\ndrag,start\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2
469 ;CHID\ndrag,stop\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2

487 iC[CHID]\n[cmd1][\r\n][cmd2][\r\n][cmd3]...
489 send a COMMAND (cmd1, cmd2, cmd3 etc.) to an existing named
490 channel id CHID. this can be a list of 1 or more command
491 strings,
492 with each string broken by a continuous sequence of 1 or
493 more \r
494 and/or \n characters. e.g. "\n", "\r", "\r\n",
495 "\n\r", "\n\r\n\n\n", etc.
496 commands understood are:
498 text\nPART NAME\nTEXT STRING
500 set the text of "PART NAME" to string "TEXT STRING"
501 emit\nSIGNAL STRING\nSOURCE STRING
503 emit signal "SIGNAL STRING" "SOURCE STRING"
504 drag\nPART NAME\n[value|size|step|page]\nVAL1\nVAL2
506 manipulate dragable of name "PART NAME" and either set
507 "value", "size", "step" or "page" properties
508 to "VAL1" and "VAL2" for x and y, where
509 VAL1 and VAL2 are floating point values
510 chid\nCHANNEL ID
512 set the channel id of a given edje object (only valid in
513 setup
514 commands for the inline edje object) to "CHANNEL ID" so
515 it can
516 be addressed later.
517 message\nOPCODE
519 ID\n[string|int|float|string_set|int_set|...
520 float_set|string|int|string_float|string_int_set|...
521 string_float_set]\n[message data]
522 send a message with opcode (integer) id "OPCODE ID" of
523 one of
524 the given types supported ("string", "int", "float",
525 etc.) and then with the given "message data" at the end.
526 message data format depends on message type:
527 string: STRING1
528 int: INT1
529 float: FLOAT1
530 string_set: STRING1\nSTRING2\nSTRING3...
531 int_set: INT1\nINT2\nINT3...

535 string_int_set: STRING1\nINT1\nINT2\nINT3...
536 string_float_set: STRING1\nFLOAT1\nFLOAT2\nFLOAT3...
537 ib
539 begin media replace sequence run.
540 ie
542 end media replace sequence run.
543 fr[PATH/FILE]
545 begin file send for a file named PATH / FILE
546 fs[SIZE_BYTES]
548 set the size in bytes of a file send started with the above fr
549 escape
550 fd[CHECKSUM DATA]
552 block of data for the current file transfer with checksum as a
553 string decimal which is the sum of every byte when taken as an
554 unsigned char per byte. the checksum is a signed 32bit inte‐
555 ger.
556 the checksum is the sum of the data after escaping. 4 bits at
557 a
558 time per data byte, encoded with high bits in one byte then
559 low
560 bits, with the bits encoded as 4 bit value being 0x40 + 4 bit
561 value
562 per byte. (@ == 0x0, A == 0x1, B == 0x2, ... N == 0xe, O ==
563 0xf).
564 so to rebuild a byte will be (((bytes[0] - 0x40) & 0xf) << 4)
565 |
566 ((bytes[1] - 0x40) & 0xf) per byte pair in the data block.
567 fx
569 exit file send mode (normally at the end of the file or when
570 it's
571 complete)
