Yet Another Screen Library (lib(n)curses alternative)

Development files of Yet Another Screen Library - lib(n)curses alternative oriented towards modern terminals.

Suitable for developing terminal applications or daemons with telnet access and terminal support.

Main features

 * small footprint
 * does not have external dependencies
 * allows both internal and external event loop
 * allows stdin/stdout or external input/output (can work over socket)
 * supports basic set of telnet sequences, making it suitable for built-in
   terminal interfaces for daemons
 * supports a limited set of input keystroke sequences
 * fully unicode compatible (parts of this depend on wcwidth in libc)
 * supports utf8 verification of input
 * relies only on a limited subset of ansi/xterm ESC sequences, making it
   compatible with mostly all modern terminals (inspired by linenoise)
 * there is no curses API and ancient terminal compatibility, hence less bloat
 * clean API with opaque private data, usable from C/C++
