Example: ghostty-vt Terminal Search

This contains a simple example of how to use the ghostty-vt search API from C. It writes content into a terminal, searches it for a string, navigates between the matches like a find bar, and reads the viewport matches an embedder would use to draw highlights.

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
