Tutu

Cross-platform Terminal Manipulation Library

Tutu is a pure-csharp, terminal manipulation library that makes it possible to write cross-platform text-based interfaces. It supports all UNIX and Windows terminals down to Windows 7 (not all terminals are tested). It is heavily inspired by the Rust library cross-term
