term-snip

Description

A small utility crate using https://crates.io/crates/console to write to stdout but limited to a given number of lines. The oldest line is removed when writing a new line.

Usage

From examples/five.rs:

```rust use term_snip::TermSnip;

use std::{thread, time};

/// A simple example writing 15 lines to stdout but only showing /// a maximum of five lines. fn main() { let halfsec = time::Duration::frommillis(500);

let mut term = TermSnip::new(5);
for n in 1..15 {
    term.write_line(&format!("{} - line number {}", n, n)).unwrap();

    // just to slow down for demonstration 
    thread::sleep(half_sec);
}

}

```
