How to get the buffer size

[zadjii]

I'm mostly just leaving this snippet here for future me

def get_buffer_size():

    import ctypes
    class CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO(ctypes.Structure):
        _fields_ = [
            ('dwSize', ctypes.wintypes._COORD),
            ('dwCursorPosition', ctypes.wintypes._COORD),
            ('wAttributes', ctypes.c_ushort),
            ('srWindow', ctypes.wintypes._SMALL_RECT),
            ('dwMaximumWindowSize', ctypes.wintypes._COORD)
        ]

    ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle.restype = ctypes.wintypes.HANDLE
    hstd = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle(-11) # STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE = -11
    csbi = CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO()
    # print(csbi.__dict__)
    # print(csbi.srWindow)
    # print(csbi.srWindow.Top)
    # print(csbi.srWindow.Right)
    ret = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(
        hstd,
        ctypes.byref(csbi)
    )
    if ret == False:
        return Error('Failed to retrieve console buffer size')
    width = csbi.srWindow.Right - csbi.srWindow.Left
    height = csbi.srWindow.Bottom - csbi.srWindow.Top
    return Success( (width, height) )
    # print(csbi.__dict__)
    # print(csbi.srWindow)
    # print(csbi.srWindow.Top)
    # print(csbi.srWindow.Right)
    return ResultAndData(ret, csbi)
