Example: ghostty-vt Terminal Effects

This contains a simple example of how to register and use terminal effect callbacks (write_pty, bell, title_changed, and clipboard_write) with the ghostty-vt C library.

The clipboard effect receives one atomic write with decoded, binary-safe MIME representations rather than protocol-specific OSC 52 data.

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
