Scrollback compression scheduling was only available to Zig callers that used Terminal directly, leaving C embedders unable to drive the same idle compression policy. Define ABI-aware mode and result enums on Terminal and export activity and compression operations through the C API. Keep scheduling caller-owned, validate C inputs, and document the incremental contract with a complete example. Report unsupported reclamation consistently for full passes so callers can disable compression on targets that cannot retain decommitted mappings.

# Example: Scrollback Compression in C
|
|
|
|
This example shows how a libghostty-vt embedding application can track
|
|
compression-relevant terminal activity and perform incremental scrollback
|
|
compression after its own idle delay.
|
|
|
|
libghostty-vt does not create a timer or background thread. The embedding
|
|
application remains responsible for scheduling compression and serializing it
|
|
with other access to the terminal.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Run the example:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
zig build run
|
|
```
