From 9aacce8b3b54060d0037eca897856d7273e6e5e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Calvin Morrison Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 13:16:35 -0400 Subject: gui: a /dev/draw layer in go, with no cgo and no devdraw 9fans.net/go/draw builds for plan9 but shells out to plan9port's devdraw, which 9front does not have. This talks to /dev/draw itself: the protocol is file i/o, so a pure-go client is a few hundred lines under an already-complete idea. draw/keyboard.go opens /dev/cons and turns the console raw, as libdraw's initkeyboard does. Without it rio keeps its line editor on the window and paints what you type over the drawing. draw/snarf.go writes /dev/snarf, which is what every other program on the system means by copy.
