TTY Overwriter

TTY Overwriter the crate is a small library consisting of two modules : ansi_seq and ̀body

• ansi_seq are ansi_sequences to be Written.
• body is a small tool which uses ansi sequences to rewrite text to a terminal in a loop without flickering.

The lib is thought to be small (under 1k lines) and with no direct dependencies ; though the third arguments of Body.overwrite may be easily provided by a crate like term_size, as shown in the replace-body example.

let mut body = Body::default();
body.overwrite("my text", &mut std::io::stdout(), 80);
body.overwrite("replacement of my text.", &mut std::io::stdout(), 80);
