Instance Variable transport Undocumented
def __bytes__(self): (source)

Undocumented

def applicationKeypadMode(self): (source)

Cause keypad to generate control functions.

Cursor key mode selects the type of characters generated by cursor keys.

def connectionMade(self): (source)

Called when a connection is made.

This may be considered the initializer of the protocol, because it is called when the connection is completed. For clients, this is called once the connection to the server has been established; for servers, this is called after an accept() call stops blocking and a socket has been received. If you need to send any greeting or initial message, do it here.

def cursorBackward(self, n=1): (source)

Move the cursor left n columns.

def cursorDown(self, n=1): (source)

Move the cursor down n lines.

def cursorForward(self, n=1): (source)

Move the cursor right n columns.

def cursorPosition(self, column, line): (source)

Move the cursor to the given line and column.

def cursorUp(self, n=1): (source)

Move the cursor up n lines.

def deleteCharacter(self, n=1): (source)

Delete n characters starting at the cursor position.

Characters to the right of deleted characters are shifted to the left.

def deleteLine(self, n=1): (source)

Delete n lines starting at the cursor position.

Lines below the cursor are shifted up. This command is ignored when the cursor is outside the scroll region.

def doubleHeightLine(self, top=True): (source)

Make the current line the top or bottom half of a double-height, double-width line.

If top is True, the current line is the top half. Otherwise, it is the bottom half.

def doubleWidthLine(self): (source)

Make the current line a double-width line.

def eraseDisplay(self): (source)

Erase the entire display.

def eraseLine(self): (source)

Erase the entire cursor line.

def eraseToDisplayBeginning(self): (source)

Erase from the cursor to the beginning of the display, including the cursor position.

def eraseToDisplayEnd(self): (source)

Erase from the cursor to the end of the display, including the cursor position.

def eraseToLineBeginning(self): (source)

Erase from the cursor to the beginning of the line, including the cursor position.

def eraseToLineEnd(self): (source)

Erase from the cursor to the end of line, including cursor position.

def getCharacter(self, x, y): (source)

Undocumented

def getHost(self): (source)

Similar to getPeer, but returns an address describing this side of the connection.

Returns
An IAddress provider.
def getPeer(self): (source)

Get the remote address of this connection.

Treat this method with caution. It is the unfortunate result of the CGI and Jabber standards, but should not be considered reliable for the usual host of reasons; port forwarding, proxying, firewalls, IP masquerading, etc.

Returns
An IAddress provider.
def horizontalTabulationSet(self): (source)

Set a tab stop at the current cursor position.

def index(self): (source)

Move the cursor down one line, performing scrolling if necessary.

def insertAtCursor(self, b): (source)

Add one byte to the terminal at the cursor and make consequent state updates.

If b is a carriage return, move the cursor to the beginning of the current row.

If b is a line feed, move the cursor to the next row or scroll down if the cursor is already in the last row.

Otherwise, if b is printable, put it at the cursor position (inserting or overwriting as dictated by the current mode) and move the cursor.

def insertLine(self, n=1): (source)

Insert n lines at the cursor position.

Lines below the cursor are shifted down. Lines moved past the bottom margin are lost. This command is ignored when the cursor is outside the scroll region.

def loseConnection(self): (source)

Close my connection, after writing all pending data.

Note that if there is a registered producer on a transport it will not be closed until the producer has been unregistered.

def nextLine(self): (source)

Update the cursor position attributes and scroll down if appropriate.

def numericKeypadMode(self): (source)

Cause keypad to generate normal characters.

def reportCursorPosition(self): (source)

Return a Deferred that fires with a two-tuple of (x, y) indicating the cursor position.

def reset(self): (source)

Reset the terminal to its initial state.

def resetModes(self, modes): (source)

Reset the given modes on the terminal.

def restoreCursor(self): (source)

Restore the previously saved cursor position, character attribute, character set, and origin mode selection.

If no cursor state was previously saved, move the cursor to the home position.

def reverseIndex(self): (source)

Move the cursor up one line, performing scrolling if necessary.

def saveCursor(self): (source)

Save the cursor position, character attribute, character set, and origin mode selection.

def selectCharacterSet(self, charSet, which): (source)

Select a character set.

charSet should be one of CS_US, CS_UK, CS_DRAWING, CS_ALTERNATE, or CS_ALTERNATE_SPECIAL.

which should be one of G0 or G1.

def selectGraphicRendition(self, *attributes): (source)

Enabled one or more character attributes.

Arguments should be one or more of UNDERLINE, REVERSE_VIDEO, BLINK, or BOLD. NORMAL may also be specified to disable all character attributes.

def setModes(self, modes): (source)

Set the given modes on the terminal.

def setPrivateModes(self, modes): (source)

Enable the given modes.

Track which modes have been enabled so that the implementations of other insults.ITerminalTransport methods can be properly implemented to respect these settings.

insults.ITerminalTransport.setPrivateModes
def shiftIn(self): (source)

Activate the G0 character set.

def shiftOut(self): (source)

Activate the G1 character set.

def singleShift2(self): (source)

Shift to the G2 character set for a single character.

def singleShift3(self): (source)

Shift to the G3 character set for a single character.

def singleWidthLine(self): (source)

Make the current line a single-width, single-height line.

def tabulationClear(self): (source)

Clear the tab stop at the current cursor position.

def tabulationClearAll(self): (source)
def unhandledControlSequence(self, buf): (source)

Called when an unsupported control sequence is received.

Parameters
bufUndocumented
seq:strThe whole control sequence which could not be interpreted.
def write(self, data): (source)

Add the given printable bytes to the terminal.

Line feeds in bytes will be replaced with carriage return / line feed pairs.

def writeSequence(self, data): (source)

Write an iterable of byte strings to the physical connection.

If possible, make sure that all of the data is written to the socket at once, without first copying it all into a single byte string.

Parameters
dataThe data to write.
