description

Terminal multiplexer and experimental Wayland compositor. Use when you need to create, control, or read from terminals via the CLI, or run and interact with GUI applications. Covers starting PTYs, sending keystrokes, reading output, checking exit status, managing terminal lifecycle, and driving graphical windows through the experimental headless Wayland compositor (listing surfaces, capturing screenshots, clicking, typing, and sending key presses).

blit CLI

blit is a terminal multiplexer and experimental headless Wayland compositor. Every terminal can run both CLI programs (via PTYs) and GUI applications (via the built-in compositor). Surfaces are video-encoded and streamed to browsers; the CLI gives programmatic control over both terminals and graphical windows.
