# Description
`term query`: a command for querying information from the terminal.

Prints the `$query`, and immediately starts reading raw bytes from
stdin.

The standard input will be read until the `terminator` sequence is
encountered.
The `terminator` is not removed from the output.

It also stops on <kbd>Ctrl-C</kbd> with an error.

```
Usage:
  > term query {flags} <query> 

Flags:
  -h, --help: Display the help message for this command
  -t, --terminator (required parameter) <one_of(binary, string)>: stdin will be read until this sequence is encountered

Parameters:
  query <one_of(binary, string)>: The query that will be printed to stdout
```

This was previously possible with `input` until #10150.
`input` command's features such as cursor control, deleting input etc.
are useful, but interfere with this use case.

`term query` makes the following uses possible:

```nushell
# get the terminal size with ansi escape codes
def terminal-size [] {
    let response = term query (ansi size) --terminator 'R'
    # $response should look like this
    # Length: 9 (0x9) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
    # 00000000:   1b 5b 33 38  3b 31 35 30  52             •[38;150R

    let sz = $response | bytes at 2..<-1 | decode
    # 38;150

    # $sz should look like 38;150
    let size = ($sz | split row ';' | each {into int})

    # output in record syntax
    {
        rows: $size.0
        columns: $size.1
    }
}
```

```nushell
# read clipboard content using OSC 52
term query $"(ansi --osc '52;c;?')(ansi st)" --terminator (ansi st)
| bytes at 7..<-2
| decode
| decode base64
| decode
```

# User-Facing Changes
- added `ansi query`

# Tests + Formatting
- Integration tests should be added if possible.

Nushell core libraries and plugins

These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.

Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:

  • Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
  • Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.

Plugins are likewise also split into two types:

  • Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
  • Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
