This module provides bindings to the local event loop's TTY interface, using it to offer synchronous but non-blocking versions of stdio. These handles can be inspected for information about terminal dimensions or for related information about the stream or terminal to which it is attached. # Example ```rust # #![allow(unused_must_use)] use std::io; let mut out = io::stdout(); out.write(bytes!("Hello, world!")); ``` */ use fmt; use io::{Reader, Writer, IoResult, IoError, OtherIoError, standard_error, EndOfFile, LineBufferedWriter, BufferedReader}; use libc; use kinds::Send; use mem::replace; use option::{Option, Some, None}; use prelude::drop; use result::{Ok, Err}; use rt; use rt::local::Local; use rt::rtio::{DontClose, IoFactory, LocalIo, RtioFileStream, RtioTTY}; use rt::task::Task; use str::StrSlice; // And so begins the tale of acquiring a uv handle to a stdio stream on all // platforms in all situations. Our story begins by splitting the world into two // categories, windows and unix. Then one day the creators of unix said let // there be redirection! And henceforth there was redirection away from the // console for standard I/O streams. // // After this day, the world split into four factions: // // 1. Unix with stdout on a terminal. // 2. Unix with stdout redirected. // 3. Windows with stdout on a terminal. // 4. Windows with stdout redirected. // // Many years passed, and then one day the nation of libuv decided to unify this // world. After months of toiling, uv created three ideas: TTY, Pipe, File. // These three ideas propagated throughout the lands and the four great factions // decided to settle among them. // // The groups of 1, 2, and 3 all worked very hard towards the idea of TTY. Upon // doing so, they even enhanced themselves further then their Pipe/File // brethren, becoming the dominant powers. // // The group of 4, however, decided to work independently. They abandoned the // common TTY belief throughout, and even abandoned the fledgling Pipe belief. // The members of the 4th faction decided to only align themselves with File. // // tl;dr; TTY works on everything but when windows stdout is redirected, in that // case pipe also doesn't work, but magically file does! enum StdSource { TTY(~RtioTTY:Send), File(~RtioFileStream:Send), } fn src(fd: libc::c_int, readable: bool, f: |StdSource| -> T) -> T { LocalIo::maybe_raise(|io| { Ok(match io.tty_open(fd, readable) { Ok(tty) => f(TTY(tty)), Err(_) => f(File(io.fs_from_raw_fd(fd, DontClose))), }) }).unwrap() } /// Creates a new non-blocking handle to the stdin of the current process. /// /// The returned handled is buffered by default with a `BufferedReader`.
