"tty" — Terminal control functions
**********************************

**Source code:** Lib/tty.py

======================================================================

The "tty" module defines functions for putting the tty into cbreak and
raw modes.

Availability: Unix.

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 to
   "termios.tcsetattr()". The return value of "termios.tcgetattr()" is
   saved before setting *fd* to raw mode; this value is returned.

   Changed in version 3.12: The return value is now the original tty
   attributes, instead of None.

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 to
   "termios.tcsetattr()". The return value of "termios.tcgetattr()" is
   saved before setting *fd* to cbreak mode; this value is returned.

   Changed in version 3.12: The return value is now the original tty
   attributes, instead of None.
