- :mod:`tty` --- Terminal control functions
- =========================================
- .. module:: tty
- :platform: Unix
- :synopsis: Utility functions that perform common terminal control operations.
- .. moduleauthor:: Steen Lumholt
- .. sectionauthor:: Moshe Zadka <moshez@zadka.site.co.il>
- The :mod:`tty` module defines functions for putting the tty into cbreak and raw
- modes.
- Because it requires the :mod:`termios` module, it will work only on Unix.
- The :mod:`tty` module defines the following functions:
- .. function:: setraw(fd[, when])
- Change the mode of the file descriptor *fd* to raw. If *when* is omitted, it
- defaults to :const:`termios.TCSAFLUSH`, and is passed to
- :func:`termios.tcsetattr`.
- .. function:: setcbreak(fd[, when])
- Change the mode of file descriptor *fd* to cbreak. If *when* is omitted, it
- defaults to :const:`termios.TCSAFLUSH`, and is passed to
- :func:`termios.tcsetattr`.
- .. seealso::
- Module :mod:`termios`
- Low-level terminal control interface.
