The extension provides CLI terminal helpers with an object/enum API (Terminal\Terminal, Backend, Stream, Key) and supports both Windows and Linux builds. It is currently being developed as a PECL/ecosystem extension rather than a PHP core proposal, and feedback on API shape, missing primitives, or Windows behavior is welcomed. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
