This allows applications to // provide for alternate backends, as there are situations where the traditional /dev/tty // does not work, or where more flexible handling is required. This interface is for use // with the terminfo-style based API. It extends the io.ReadWriter API. It is reasonable // that the implementation might choose to use different underlying files for the Reader // and Writer sides of this API, as part of it's internal implementation. type Tty interface { // Start is used to activate the Tty for use. Upon return the terminal should be // in raw mode, non-blocking, etc. The implementation should take care of saving // any state that is required so that it may be restored when Stop is called. Start() error // Stop is used to stop using this Tty instance. This may be a suspend, so that other // terminal based applications can run in the foreground. Implementations should // restore any state collected at Start(), and return to ordinary blocking mode, etc. // Drain is called first to drain the input. Once this is called, no more Read // or Write calls will be made until Start is called again. Stop() error // Drain is called before Stop, and ensures that the reader will wake up appropriately // if it was blocked. This workaround is required for /dev/tty on certain UNIX systems // to ensure that Read() does not block forever. This typically arranges for the tty driver // to send data immediately (e.g. VMIN and VTIME both set zero) and sets a deadline on input. // Implementations may reasonably make this a no-op. There will still be control sequences // emitted between the time this is called, and when Stop is called. Drain() error // NotifyResize is used register a callback when the tty thinks the dimensions have // changed. The standard UNIX implementation links this to a handler for SIGWINCH. // If the supplied callback is nil, then any handler should be unregistered. NotifyResize(cb func()) // WindowSize is called to determine the terminal dimensions. This might be determined // by an ioctl or other means. WindowSize() (WindowSize, error) io.ReadWriteCloser }
