1 Animone is a work-in-progress cross-platform hard fork of Anisthesia and part of
|
|
|
2 Minori.
|
|
|
3
|
|
|
4 Most (if not all) Anisthesia configs should also work in this library as well
|
|
|
5 (at least on Windows).

7 --- LICENSE ---
|
|
|
8 Changes divergent from Anisthesia are under the BSD 3-clause license. You can
|
|
|
9 find a copy of the original MIT license bundled with Anisthesia at `LICENSE.MIT`
|
|
|
10 in the root folder.

|
12 --- SUPPORT ---
|
|
|
13 Unlike Anisthesia, Animone currently does not support UI automation, i.e., most
|
|
|
14 web browsers will not work properly, if at all.
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 Animone will first attempt to connect to a windowing system. If that fails, it
|
|
|
17 falls back to just enumerating over the open processes in the system.
|
|

|
19 --- PLATFORM-SPECIFIC QUIRKS ---
|
|
|
20 Because Animone supports multiple different platforms, there are some quirks to
|
|
|
21 keep in mind while using the library.
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 To get the currently opened file handles on Windows, Animone uses internal
|
|
|
24 kernel functions (however, these are unlikely to change in the future).
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 The code to retrieve executable names on macOS calls the kernel, and said kernel
|
|
|
27 functions aren't guaranteed to have the same API with each release. However, it
|
|
|
28 has stayed relatively stagnant since 10.4 Tiger's release, so any release after
|
|
|
29 it should work perfectly fine.
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
31 Additionally, macOS does not have the concept of class names, rather, it has
|
|
|
32 bundle identifiers, which are a suitable replacement in most use cases, and are
|
|
|
33 what Animone will attempt to grab before falling back to the Quartz window name.
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 On X11, Animone requires that the XRes extension is installed to retrieve window
|
|
|
36 PIDs.

|
38 --- HISTORY ---
|
|
|
39 Animone used to be under the name Animia, as in you'd contract anemia just from
|
|
|
40 looking at the source code. It's been cleaned up a bit since then, so now it's
|
|
|
41 been changed to represent Anemone, a genus of flowering plants commonly called
|
|
|
42 windflowers :)
