method ReadStream.prototype.setRawMode

Usage in Deno

import { ReadStream } from "node:tty";
ReadStream.prototype.setRawMode(mode: boolean): this

Allows configuration of tty.ReadStream so that it operates as a raw device.

When in raw mode, input is always available character-by-character, not including modifiers. Additionally, all special processing of characters by the terminal is disabled, including echoing input characters. Ctrl+C will no longer cause a SIGINT when in this mode.

Parameters

mode: boolean

If true, configures the tty.ReadStream to operate as a raw device. If false, configures the tty.ReadStream to operate in its default mode. The readStream.isRaw property will be set to the resulting mode.

Return Type

this

The read stream instance.
