Output is + automatically adapted to the width of the terminal: truncated if it does + not fit, and re-sized if the terminal size changes. + . + Output is provided via widgets. Each widgets formats some data into + a suitable form for output. It gets the data either via its initializer, + or from key/value pairs maintained by the master object. The values are + set by the user. Every time a value is updated, widgets get updated + (although the terminal is only updated every so often to give user time + to actually read the output). + . + The output from ttystatus goes to the terminal (`/dev/tty`) and is + restricted to a single line. -- cgit v1.2.1
