Another Term

What it is

The successor of Another Term Lite.

Initially it was decided to fill the gap in USB serial dongle terminals that provide features allow comfortable work without a hardware keyboard. However as time passed, it has grown into something closer to Termux. Built-in SSH client has also been added.

See README.md.

Shell features

• passing content between shell and Android applications — see termsh commands list and content sharing with Another Term;

• implemented a bit better than Termux:
  • passing descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS ancillary messages instead of copying data;
  • credentials checking to prevent possible spoofing attacks;

• shell plugins in separate APKs with dev API and signature checking;

• it’s supposed to use PRoot with existing Linux repositories — Installing Linux under PRoot;

• libusb (with device enumeration and hot plug/unplug events) support on nonrooted Android;

• access USB and Bluetooth serial dongles right from the shell:

  ... | "$TERMSH" serial 9600 | ...
  

  see serial port examples;

• but no am command analog yet.
