58 I belive that the previous connectbot projects are improperly licensed. | |
59 They contain a mix of Apache 2.0 and GPLv2+ code, and those two licenses | |
60 are incompatible. I have relicensed this as GPLv3+, since that is | |
61 compatible with the licenses of all the sub-parts. | |

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 | |
