Package Exports
- pty.js-dl
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (pty.js-dl) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
pty.js
forkpty(3) bindings for node.js. This allows you to fork processes with pseudo
terminal file descriptors. It returns a terminal object which allows reads
and writes.
This is useful for:
- Writing a terminal emulator.
- Getting certain programs to think you're a terminal. This is useful if you need a program to send you control sequences.
Example Usage
var pty = require('pty.js');
var term = pty.spawn('bash', [], {
name: 'xterm-color',
cols: 80,
rows: 30,
cwd: process.env.HOME,
env: process.env
});
term.on('data', function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
term.write('ls\r');
term.resize(100, 40);
term.write('ls /\r');
console.log(term.process);Todo
- Add tcsetattr(3), tcgetattr(3).
- Add a way of determining the current foreground job for platforms other than Linux and OSX/Darwin.
