编码Mac OS X终端仿真器？

[英]Coding a Mac OS X terminal emulator?

原文 2010-01-26 18:01:29 8 2 cocoa/ macos/ terminal-emulator

I'd like to create a terminal emulator for Mac OS X. The problem is: I have no idea where to start. 我想为Mac OS X创建一个终端模拟器。问题是：我不知道从哪里开始。 Can I just use a whole bunch of NSTasks? 我可以使用一大堆NSTasks吗？ Or do I have to read through tons of source code for programs like xterm, urxvt, etc? 或者我是否必须阅读大量的xterm，urxvt等程序的源代码？ I don't want a lot of customizability (= no config file parsing), nor complex features, and I'm only gonna use bash as the shell. 我不想要很多可定制性（=没有配置文件解析），也不需要复杂的功能，而且我只想使用bash作为shell。

Thanks for answers! 谢谢你的回答！

I'd check out Visor: http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-visor/ It's a Quake-style terminal that slides up and down from the edge of the screen. 我要查看Visor： http ： //code.google.com/p/blacktree-visor/这是一个Quake风格的终端，可以从屏幕边缘上下滑动。

iTerm ( http://iterm.sourceforge.net/ ) would also be a good project to look at (perhaps even better than Visor). iTerm（ http://iterm.sourceforge.net/ ）也是一个很好的项目（甚至可能比Visor更好）。

As Dave said, iTerm is probably the best place to start. 正如戴夫所说，iTerm可能是最好的起点。

As for others, xterm/urxvt might not be the easiest thing to read for this, since they'll be mapping between VT100 and Xlib, which is kind of low-level. 至于其他人，xterm / urxvt可能不是最容易阅读的东西，因为它们将在VT100和Xlib之间进行映射，这是一种低级别的。 An implementation that might be easier to read is VTE terminal , which GNOME uses, since it'll be mapping between VT100 and GLib/GTK+, which is probably a lot closer to what Mac OS X provides. 一个可能更容易阅读的实现是GNOME使用的VTE终端，因为它将在VT100和GLib / GTK +之间进行映射，这可能与Mac OS X提供的更接近。

Good luck! 祝好运！
