Follow up to #13978 `ghostty_terminal_paste` no longer takes the clipboard's data up front. The request now carries only the list of available MIME types plus a a callback that writes one representation's bytes into a `GhosttyWriter`. Previously an embedder had to load every representation for every MIME type into memory before pasting. For a clipboard holding a large image or video next to some text that could be hundreds of megabytes that were never used. I also took care to make sure that the data is only read once, to avoid any time-of-check/time-of-use (TOCTOU) issues. There is only one case where data might be fully buffered in memory now: unsafe text data that needs to be checked. This is true for how Ghostty GUI works today too.
Examples
Standalone projects demonstrating the Ghostty library APIs.
The directories starting with c- use the C API and the directories
starting with zig- use the Zig API.
Every example can be built and run using zig build and zig build run
from within the respective example directory.
Even the C API examples use the Zig build system (not the language) to
build the project.
Running an Example
cd example/<dir>
zig build run
