S-Lang

S-Lang is a C programmer's library that includes routines for the rapid development of sophisticated, user friendly, multi-platform applications.

The S-Lang library includes the following:

  • Low level tty input routines for reading single characters at a time.
  • Keymap routines for defining keys and manipulating multiple keymaps.
  • A high-level keyprocessing interface (SLkp) for handling function and arrow keys.
  • High level screen management routines for manipulating both monochrome and color terminals. These routines are very efficient. (SLsmg)
  • Low level terminal-independent routines for manipulating the display of a terminal. (SLtt)
  • Routines for reading single line input with line editing and recall capabilities. (SLrline)
  • Searching functions: both ordinary searches and regular expression searches. (SLsearch)
  • An embedded stack-based language interpreter with a C-like syntax.
