tty — Terminal control functions¶
Source code: Lib/tty.py
The tty module defines functions for putting the tty into cbreak and raw
modes.
Because it requires the termios module, it will work only on Unix.
The tty module defines the following functions:
- tty.cfmakeraw(mode)¶
Convert the tty attribute list mode, which is a list like the one returned by
termios.tcgetattr(), to that of a tty in raw mode.New in version 3.12.
- tty.cfmakecbreak(mode)¶
Convert the tty attribute list mode, which is a list like the one returned by
termios.tcgetattr(), to that of a tty in cbreak mode.New in version 3.12.
- tty.setraw(fd, when=termios.TCSAFLUSH)¶
Change the mode of the file descriptor fd to raw. If when is omitted, it defaults to
termios.TCSAFLUSH, and is passed totermios.tcsetattr(). The return value oftermios.tcgetattr()is saved before setting fd to raw mode; this value is returned.
- tty.setcbreak(fd, when=termios.TCSAFLUSH)¶
Change the mode of file descriptor fd to cbreak. If when is omitted, it defaults to
termios.TCSAFLUSH, and is passed totermios.tcsetattr(). The return value oftermios.tcgetattr()is saved before setting fd to cbreak mode; this value is returned.
