Term::Completion::_POSUser)Contributed Perl DocumenTerm::Completion::_POSIX(3)NAMETerm::Completion::_POSIX - utility package for Term::Completion using
POSIX termios
DESCRIPTION
This utility package contains few methods that are required for
Term::Completion to put the terminal in "raw" mode and back. This
package uses POSIX termios to accomplish this, which should be portable
across many UNIX-like systems. It was successfully tested on Solaris
and Linux.
Methods
set_raw_tty()
Uses "POSIX::Termios" in POSIX and related methods to set the
terminal into "raw" mode, i.e. switch off the meaning of any
control characters like CRTL-C etc. Also the echo of characters is
switched off, so that the program has full control of what is typed
and displayed.
Uses the "in" field of the Term::Completion object to get the input
file handle. Won't do anything if this is not a TTY. See also "-X"
in perlfunc.
reset_tty()
Resets the terminal to its previous state, which was saved in the
object's fields ("_tty_XXX").
get_key()
Reads one byte from the input handle. Internally uses "getc" in
perlfunc.
