tty_size(-Rows,
-Columns)Determine the size of the terminal. Platforms:
- Unix
- If the system provides ioctl calls for this, these are used and tty_size/2
properly reflects the actual size after a user resize of the window. The ioctl
is issued on the file descriptor associated with the
user_input
stream. As a fallback, the system uses tty_get_capability/3
using li and co capabilities. In this case the
reported size reflects the size at the first call and is not updated
after a user-initiated resize of the terminal.
- Windows
- Getting the size of the terminal is provided for swipl-win.exe.
The requested value reflects the current size. For the multithreaded
version the console that is associated with the
user_input stream is used.
