Terminal

Shall the program terminate (i.e. the user has pressed Ctrl-C in the console)?

Flushes the standard output stream.

Peeks at the next character from the standard input stream without changing the stream position.

This method will block until at least one input character is available.

Reads the next character from the standard input stream.

This method will block until at least one input character is available.

Reads the next text line from the standard input stream.

Writes a separator line.

The calling process wants to have separate console window.

If the calling process already has a console window, the method tries to set the console window title. Otherwise a new console window is created and the standard streams are redirected to it. If for some reason a console window cannot be created, the method will return silently.

Writes the given text to the standard output stream.

Writes a line break to the standard output stream.

Writes the given text to the standard output stream, followed by a line break.

Returns the column count of the system console window.

If the column count has been specified explicitly, that value is returned. Otherwise the system console window width is returned. In case the width cannot be determined, the default value 117 is returned (which nicely fits into one half of a 1920x1080 screen when using a raster font having a pixel width of 8).

Is the console interactive (e.g. the user can feed data to standard input by typing on the keyboard)?
