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.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().

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().
