raw_tty

This crate can be used for generally interacting with a tty's mode safely, but was created originally to solve the problem of using raw mode with /dev/tty while reading stdin for data.

Usage

Raw Mode

Description from the termion crate:

Managing raw mode.

Raw mode is a particular state a TTY can have. It signifies that:

1. No line buffering (the input is given byte-by-byte).
2. The input is not written out, instead it has to be done manually by the programmer.
3. The output is not canonicalized (for example, \n means "go one line down", not "line break").

It is essential to design terminal programs.

Example

```rust use raw_tty::IntoRawMode; use std::io::{Write, stdin, stdout};

fn main() { let stdin = stdin().intorawmode().unwrap(); let mut stdout = stdout();

write!(stdout, "Hey there.").unwrap();

} ```

Example with /dev/tty

```rust use raw_tty::IntoRawMode; use std::io::{self, Read, Write, stdin, stdout}; use std::fs;

fn main() -> io::Result<()> { let mut tty = fs::OpenOptions::new().read(true).write(true).open("/dev/tty")?; // Can use the ttyinput for keys while also reading stdin for data. let mut ttyinput = tty.tryclone()?.intorawmode(); let mut buffer = String::new(); stdin().readto_string(&mut buffer)?;

write!(tty, "Hey there.")

} ```

General example

```rust use raw_tty::GuardMode; use std::io::{self, Write, stdin, stdout};

fn testintorawmode() -> io::Result<()> { let mut stdin = stdin().guardmode()?; stdin.setrawmode()?; let mut out = stdout();

out.write_all(b"this is a test, muahhahahah\r\n")?;

drop(out);
Ok(())

}

fn main() -> io::Result<()> { let mut stdout = stdout().guardmode()?; stdout.modifymode(|ios| /* do stuff with termios here */ ios)?;

// Have to use &* since TtyModeGuard only implements
// deref, unlike RawReader which implements read specifically.
// Otherwise, it wouldn't be recognized as `Write`able.
write!(&mut *stdout, "Hey there.")

}

```
