Huh, that should work unless your terminal is outrageously narrow
or maybe output starting on the right side of the screen already.
But I can't look much further without having a mac myself, could
be a few other causes :(
Re: OSX prompt limit
Maybe you can try gnu readline instead:
extern(C) char* readline(const(char)* prompt);
pragma(lib, "readline");
pragma(lib, "curses");
void main() {
auto line = readline("your line: ");
import std.stdio, std.conv;
writeln(to!string(line));
}

Thanks Adam. That works better than normal. Up and down don't
work though.

Readline is a pretty popular library (also GPL though, keep that in mind if you distribute your program, it must also be GPL if you use it) so you can find more info on the net: http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/rlman_2.html Basic thing is if you want to add it to history, call add_history(ptr_it_returned); and it will then be available for up/down access. Also, readline is a C library, so it does expect you to free the memory it allocates too but you can probably just let that slide, it'll be fairly small leaks all things considered. If I can ever actually get access to a Mac, I'll try to debug my other lib on one too.

That's normal, line editing on Unix terminals is a kinda

readline, is actually a big thing that pushed the GPL because
of how useful it was and it happened to use that license.
I wrote one too though it is a bit bulky.
https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/terminal.d
import terminal;
void main() {
auto terminal = Terminal(ConsoleOutputMode.linear);
auto line = terminal.getline("your prompt: ");
terminal.writeln("You wrote: ", line);
}
compile:
dmd yourapp.d terminal.d
I get these errors with terminal.d (on OSX):
Joels-MacBook-Pro:small joelcnz$ rdmd term.d
arsd/terminal.d(1268): Error: undefined identifier 'SIGWINCH'
arsd/terminal.d(1381): Error: undefined identifier 'SIGWINCH'
Joels-MacBook-Pro:small joelcnz$
Note: I've got term.d as the main file, I've got terminal.d in
arsd folder
I've put up an issue on your github site.

Or just take it from the man page: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/signal.3.html

There's a missing value in the signal header for OSX !
Could you run this little C program for me on your Mac and let
me know the output?

I can't find the numeric value online either and I don't have a
