Terminal support

getTerminalAttributes fd calls tcgetattr to obtain the TerminalAttributes associated with Fd fd.

Constructors

setTerminalAttributes fd attr ts calls tcsetattr to change the TerminalAttributes associated with Fd fd to attr, when the terminal is in the state indicated by ts.

Constructors

Serial line baudrate. The set of supported speeds is system-dependent. Portable use of the provided pattern synonyms that are outside the list mandated by POSIX requires #ifdef guards.

Applications may need to be prepared to encounter speeds not known at compile time, these can be handled generically via the BaudRate constructor. In other words, the provided pattern synonyms are not necessarily a COMPLETE set.

All non-zero pseudo-terminal baud rates are functionally equivalent, and the pty driver may accept any speed within a suitable range. Requested speeds may be rounded up or down to fit into the supported range.

Bundled Patterns

Instances

sendBreak fd duration calls tcsendbreak to transmit a continuous stream of zero-valued bits on Fd fd for the specified implementation-dependent duration.

drainOutput fd calls tcdrain to block until all output written to Fd fd has been transmitted.

Throws IOError ("unsupported operation") if platform does not provide tcdrain(3) (use #if HAVE_TCDRAIN CPP guard to detect availability).

Constructors

discardData fd queues calls tcflush to discard pending input and/or output for Fd fd, as indicated by the QueueSelector queues.

Constructors

controlFlow fd action calls tcflow to control the flow of data on Fd fd, as indicated by action.

getTerminalProcessGroupID fd calls tcgetpgrp to obtain the ProcessGroupID of the foreground process group associated with the terminal attached to Fd fd.

setTerminalProcessGroupID fd pgid calls tcsetpgrp to set the ProcessGroupID of the foreground process group associated with the terminal attached to Fd fd to pgid.

queryTerminal fd calls isatty to determine whether or not Fd fd is associated with a terminal.

getTerminalName fd calls ttyname to obtain a name associated with the terminal for Fd fd. If fd is associated with a terminal, getTerminalName returns the name of the terminal.

getControllingTerminalName calls ctermid to obtain a name associated with the controlling terminal for the process. If a controlling terminal exists, getControllingTerminalName returns the name of the controlling terminal.

Throws IOError ("unsupported operation") if platform does not provide ctermid(3) (use #if HAVE_CTERMID CPP guard to detect availability).

openPseudoTerminal creates a pseudoterminal (pty) pair, and returns the newly created pair as a (master, slave) tuple.

getSlaveTerminalName calls ptsname to obtain the name of the slave terminal associated with a pseudoterminal pair. The file descriptor to pass in must be that of the master.
