Package: vte Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The long descriptions of the binary packages built from vte read:
The VTE library inserts terminal capability strings into a trie, and then uses it to determine if data received from a pseudo-terminal is a control sequence or just random data. The sample program "interpret" illustrates more or less what the widget sees after it filters incoming data. I fail to see how this implementation detail illustrates the purpose of the VTE library which, as I see it, is to provide a terminal widget for GTK applications needing it. Why not replace the above with something like this, slightly paraphrasing the upstream development docs: The VTE library provides a terminal emulator widget VteTerminal for applications using the GTK+ 2.0 toolkit. It also provides the VtePTY object containing functions for starting a new process on a new pseudo-terminal and for manipulating pseudo-terminals.
