74 For every terminal session (local, telnet, ssh or tn5250), this |
| 0 | 75 terminal emulator also makes a connection to a terminal monitor |
| 76 process, which can see keystrokes and screen contents, and can | |
| 77 inject characters to send to the host. | |
| 78 </para> | |
| 79 | |
| 80 <para> | |
| 81 The terminal monitor is invoked by calling an android Intent | |
| 82 named "com.five_ten_sg.connectbot.monitor.MonitorService". That | |
| 83 ensures that the monitor process is running, and should then | |
| 84 be listening on TCP port 6000 for incoming connections. The terminal | |
| 85 emulator then connects to the terminal monitor on port 6000. | |
| 86 The native android Intent and Service communication mechanisms | |
| 87 are not used. | |
| 88 </para> | |
| 89 | |
| 90 <para> | |
| 91 The messages exchanged between the terminal emulator and the | |
| 92 terminal monitor are arrays of uint16 values in network byte | |
| 93 order. Each message starts with a uint16 message byte length, | |
| 94 followed by that many bytes of data. Note that the message length | |
| 95 will always be even. The next uint16 contains the message | |
| 96 command value, and the remaining uint16 values are the arguments | |
| 97 if any for that command. | |
| 98 </para> | |
| 99 | |
| 100 <para> | |
| 101 Any arguments that are keystrokes or characters are represented | |
| 102 as 16 bit unicode. Note that the first 256 such characters are | |
| 103 identical to the ISO-8859-1 latin character set. | |
| 104 </para> | |
| 105 | |
| 106 <para> | |
| 107 INIT = 0 (TE -> Monitor). The argument is a string of uint16 | |
| 108 characters. The meaning of these characters is defined by the | |
| 109 monitor. It might be a fully qualified path name, or some other | |
| 110 data used by the monitor to drive the monitoring of this | |
| 111 connection. | |
| 112 </para> | |
| 113 | |
| 114 <para> | |
| 115 ACTIVATE = 1 (TE -> Monitor). The first argument is the | |
| 116 number of lines. The second argument is the number of columns. | |
| 117 That is followed by lines*columns uint16 character codes. | |
| 118 This connection is now the active connection. It is the | |
| 119 topmost (or only) window visible to the user - typed keystrokes | |
| 120 will be sent to the host on the other end of this connection. | |
| 121 </para> | |
| 122 | |
| 123 <para> | |
| 124 HOSTDATA = 2 (TE -> Monitor). The argument is a single uint16 | |
| 125 value containing the 8 bit character that was sent to the host. | |
| 126 </para> | |
| 127 | |
| 128 <para> | |
| 129 CURSORMOVE = 3 (TE -> Monitor). | |
| 130 The first argument is the line number (0..23) | |
| 131 and the second argument is the column number (0..79). | |
| 132 </para> | |
| 133 | |
| 134 <para> | |
| 135 SCREENCHANGE = 4 (TE -> Monitor). The first argument is the | |
| 136 number of lines. The second argument is the number of columns. | |
| 137 That is followed by lines*columns uint16 character codes. | |
| 138 </para> | |
| 139 | |
| 140 <para> | |
| 141 FIELDVALUE = 5 (TE -> Monitor). | |
| 142 SETFIELD = 5 (Monitor -> TE). | |
| 143 The first argument is the line number (0..23) | |
| 144 and the second argument is the column number (0..79). | |
| 145 That is followed by the field value, a sequence of uint16 | |
| 146 character codes from the screen buffer. The field | |
| 147 covers N columns, where N = (message length - 4) / 2. | |
| 148 When sent from the monitor to the emulator, this causes | |
| 149 the emulator to send the field codes to the host. This is | |
| 150 also used as the reply message from the emulator to the | |
| 151 monitor for a previous GETFIELD from the monitor. | |
| 152 </para> | |
| 153 | |
| 154 <para> | |
| 155 GETFIELD = 6 (Monitor -> TE). | |
| 156 The first argument is the line number (0..23) | |
| 157 and the second argument is the starting column number (0..79), | |
| 158 and the third argument is the field length in columns. | |
| 159 This command causes the emulator to send a FIELDVALUE message | |
| 160 back to the monitor. | |
| 161 </para> | |
| 162 | |
| 163 <para> | |
| 164 SCREENWATCH = 7 (Monitor -> TE). | |
| 165 The first argument is the line number (0..23) | |
| 166 and the second argument is the starting column number (0..79), | |
| 167 and the third argument is the field length in columns. | |
| 168 This command causes the emulator to watch the specified | |
| 169 part of the screen for changes. When that part of the screen | |
| 170 changes, the emulator will send a SCREENCHANGE message back | |
| 171 to the monitor. | |
| 172 </para> | |
| 173 | |
| 174 <para> | |
| 175 DEPRESS = 8 (Monitor -> TE). The argument is a single uint16 | |
| 176 value containing the vk_key value. This command causes the emulator | |
| 177 to simulate a keypress for that key. The codes are defined | |
