72<h1>Class <code>bitflags</code></h1>
73<p>Bitflags module.</p>
74<p> The bitflag object makes it easy to manipulate flags in a bitmask.</p>
75
76<p> It has metamethods that do the hard work, adding flags sets them, substracting
77 unsets them. Comparing flags checks if all flags in the second set are also set
78 in the first set. The <code>has</code> method checks if all flags in the second set are
79 also set in the first set, but behaves slightly different.</p>
80
81<p> Indexing allows checking values or setting them by bit index (eg. 0-7 for flags
82 in the first byte).</p>
83
84<p> <em>NOTE</em>: unavailable flags (eg. Windows flags on a Posix system) should not be
85 omitted, but be assigned a value of 0. This is because the <code>has</code> method will
86 return <code>false</code> if the flags are checked and the value is 0.</p>
87
88<p> See <a href="../classes/bitflags.html#system.bitflag">system.bitflag</a> (the constructor) for extensive examples on usage.</p>

128 Checks if all the flags in the given subset are set.
129If the flags to check has a value <code>0</code>, it will always return <code>false</code>. So if there are flags that are
130unsupported on a platform, they can be set to 0 and the <a href="../classes/bitflags.html#bitflag:has_all_of">has_all_of</a> function will

318it then consider patching <a href="https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#pdf-os.getenv">os.getenv</a> with the implementation of <a href="../modules/system.html#getenv">system.getenv</a>.

736 This function uses <a href="../modules/system.html#readkey">system.readkey</a>, and hence <a href="../modules/system.html#sleep">system.sleep</a> to wait until either a key is
737 available or the timeout is reached.
738 It returns immediately if a key is available or if <code>timeout</code> is less than or equal to <code>0</code>.
739 In case of an ANSI sequence, it will return the full sequence as a string.

781 Reads a single byte from the console, with a timeout.
782 This function uses <a href="../modules/system.html#sleep">system.sleep</a> to wait until either a byte is available or the timeout is reached.
783 The sleep period is exponentially backing off, starting at 0.0125 seconds, with a maximum of 0.2 seconds.
784 It returns immediately if a byte is available or if <code>timeout</code> is less than or equal to <code>0</code>.</p>
785
786<p> Using <a href="../modules/system.html#readansi">system.readansi</a> is preferred over this function. Since this function can leave stray/invalid
787 byte-sequences in the input buffer, while <a href="../modules/system.html#readansi">system.readansi</a> reads full ANSI and UTF8 sequences.

74
75<p>The tests concerned are all labelled with <code>#manual</code>. And in CI they will

76<h1>3. Terminal functionality</h1>
77
78<p>Terminals are fundamentally different on Windows and Posix. So even though
79<code>luasystem</code> provides primitives to manipulate both the Windows and Posix terminals,
80the user will still have to write platform specific code.</p>
81
82<p>To mitigate this a little, all functions are available on all platforms. They just
83will be a no-op if invoked on another platform. This means that no platform specific
84branching is required (but still possible) in user code. The user must simply set
85up both platforms to make it work.</p>

103
104<p><a name="3_1_Terminal_ANSI_sequences"></a></p>
105<h2>3.1 Terminal ANSI sequences</h2>
106
107<p>Windows is catching up with this. In Windows 10 (since 2019), the Windows Terminal application (not to be
108mistaken for the <code>cmd</code> console application) supports ANSI sequences. However this
109might not be enabled by default.</p>
110
111<p>ANSI processing can be set up both on the input (key sequences, reading cursor position)
112as well as on the output (setting colors and cursor shapes).</p>
113
114<p>To enable it use <a href="../modules/system.html#setconsoleflags">system.setconsoleflags</a> like this:</p>
115
116
117<pre>
118<span class="comment">-- setup Windows console to handle ANSI processing on output
119</span>sys.<span class="function-name">setconsoleflags</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stdout, sys.<span class="function-name">getconsoleflags</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stdout) + sys.COF_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING)
120sys.<span class="function-name">setconsoleflags</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stderr, sys.<span class="function-name">getconsoleflags</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stderr) + sys.COF_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING)
121
122<span class="comment">-- setup Windows console to handle ANSI processing on input
123</span>sys.<span class="function-name">setconsoleflags</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stdin, sys.<span class="function-name">getconsoleflags</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stdin) + sys.CIF_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT)
124</pre>
125
126<p><a name="3_2_UTF_8_in_output_and_display_width"></a></p>
127<h2>3.2 UTF-8 in/output and display width</h2>
128
129<h3>3.2.1 UTF-8 in/output</h3>
130
131<p>Where (most) Posix systems use UTF-8 by default, Windows internally uses UTF-16. More
132recent versions of Lua also have UTF-8 support. So <code>luasystem</code> also focusses on UTF-8.</p>
133
134<p>On Windows UTF-8 output can be enabled by setting the output codepage like this:</p>
135
136
137<pre>
138<span class="comment">-- setup Windows output codepage to UTF-8
139</span>sys.<span class="function-name">setconsoleoutputcp</span>(sys.CODEPAGE_UTF8)
140</pre>
141
142<p>Terminal input is handled by the <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/getchar-getwchar"><code>_getwchar()</code></a> function on Windows which returns
143UTF-16 surrogate pairs. <code>luasystem</code> will automatically convert those to UTF-8.
144So when using <code>readkey</code> or <code>readansi</code> to read keyboard input no additional changes
145are required.</p>
146
147<h3>3.2.2 UTF-8 display width</h3>
148
149<p>Typical western characters and symbols are single width characters and will use only
150a single column when displayed on a terminal. However many characters from other
151languages/cultures or emojis require 2 columns for display.</p>
152
153<p>Typically the <code>wcwidth</code> function is used on Posix to check the number of columns
154required for display. However since Windows doesn't provide this functionality a
155custom implementation is included based on <a href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/wcwidth.c">the work by Markus Kuhn</a>.</p>
156
157<p>2 functions are provided, <a href="../modules/system.html#utf8cwidth">system.utf8cwidth</a> for a single character, and <a href="../modules/system.html#utf8swidth">system.utf8swidth</a> for
158a string. When writing terminal applications the display width is relevant to
159positioning the cursor properly. For an example see the <a href="../examples/readline.lua.html"><code>examples/readline.lua</code></a> file.</p>
160
161
162<p><a name="3_3_reading_keyboard_input"></a></p>
163<h2>3.3 reading keyboard input</h2>
164
165<h3>3.3.1 Non-blocking</h3>
166
167<p>There are 2 functions for keyboard input (actually 3, if taking <a href="../modules/system.html#_readkey">system._readkey</a> into
168account): <code>readkey</code> and <code>readansi</code>.</p>
169
170<p><code>readkey</code> is a low level function and should preferably not be used, it returns
171a byte at a time, and hence can leave stray/invalid byte sequences in the buffer if
172only the start of a UTF-8 or ANSI sequence is consumed.</p>
173
174<p>The preferred way is to use <code>readansi</code> which will parse and return entire characters in
175single or multiple bytes, or a full ANSI sequence.</p>
176
177<p>On Windows the input is read using <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/getchar-getwchar"><code>_getwchar()</code></a> which bypasses the terminal and reads
178the input directly from the keyboard buffer. This means however that the character is
179also not being echoed to the terminal (independent of the echo settings used with
180<a href="../modules/system.html#setconsoleflags">system.setconsoleflags</a>).</p>
181
182<p>On Posix the traditional file approach is used, which:</p>
183
184<ul>
185 <li>is blocking by default</li>
186 <li>echoes input to the terminal</li>
187 <li>requires enter to be pressed to pass the input (canonical mode)</li>
188</ul>
189
190<p>To use non-blocking input here's how to set it up:</p>
191
192
193<pre>
194<span class="comment">-- setup Windows console to disable echo and line input (not required since _getwchar is used, just for consistency)
195</span>sys.<span class="function-name">setconsoleflags</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stdin, sys.<span class="function-name">getconsoleflags</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stdin) - sys.CIF_ECHO_INPUT - sys.CIF_LINE_INPUT)
196
197<span class="comment">-- setup Posix by disabling echo, canonical mode, and making non-blocking
198</span><span class="keyword">local</span> of_attr = sys.<span class="function-name">tcgetattr</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stdin)
199sys.<span class="function-name">tcsetattr</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stdin, sys.TCSANOW, {
200 lflag = of_attr.lflag - sys.L_ICANON - sys.L_ECHO,
201})
202sys.<span class="function-name">setnonblock</span>(<span class="global">io</span>.stdin, <span class="keyword">true</span>)
203</pre>
204
205<p>Both functions require a timeout to be provided which allows for proper asynchronous
206code to be written. Since the underlying sleep method used is <a href="../modules/system.html#sleep">system.sleep</a>, just patching
207that function with a coroutine based yielding one should be all that is needed to make
208the result work with asynchroneous coroutine schedulers.</p>
209
210<h3>3.3.2 Blocking input</h3>
211
212<p>When using traditional input method like <code>io.stdin:read()</code> (which is blocking) the echo
213and newline properties should be set on Windows similar to Posix.
214For an example see <a href="../examples/password_input.lua.html"><code>examples/password_input.lua</code></a>.</p>
