Example: ghostty-vt Render State

This contains an example of how to use the ghostty-vt render-state API to create a render state, update it from terminal content, iterate rows and cells, read styles and colors, inspect cursor and row-local selection state, and manage dirty tracking.

This uses a build.zig and Zig to build the C program so that we can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any C tooling.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
