- =head1 NAME
-
- Term::ReadKey - A perl module for simple terminal control
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Term::ReadKey;
- ReadMode 4; # Turn off controls keys
- while (not defined ($key = ReadKey(-1)) {
- # No key yet
- }
- print "Get key $key\n";
- ReadMode 0; # Reset tty mode before exiting
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- Term::ReadKey is a compiled perl module dedicated to providing simple
- control over terminal driver modes (cbreak, raw, cooked, etc.,) support for
- non-blocking reads, if the architecture allows, and some generalized handy
- functions for working with terminals. One of the main goals is to have the
- functions as portable as possible, so you can just plug in "use
- Term::ReadKey" on any architecture and have a good likelyhood of it working.
-
- =over 8
-
- =item ReadMode MODE [, Filehandle]
-
- Takes an integer argument, which can currently be one of the following
- values:
-
- 0 Restore original settings.
- 1 Change to cooked mode.
- 2 Change to cooked mode with echo off.
- (Good for passwords)
- 3 Change to cbreak mode.
- 4 Change to raw mode.
- 5 Change to ultra-raw mode.
- (LF to CR/LF translation turned off)
-
- Or, you may use the synonyms:
-
- restore
- normal
- noecho
- cbreak
- raw
- ultra-raw
-
- These functions are automatically applied to the STDIN handle if no
- other handle is supplied. Modes 0 and 5 have some special properties
- worth mentioning: not only will mode 0 restore original settings, but it
- cause the next ReadMode call to save a new set of default settings. Mode
- 5 is similar to mode 4, except no CR/LF translation is performed, and if
- possible, parity will be disabled (only if not being used by the terminal,
- however. It is no different from mode 4 under Windows.)
-
- If you are executing another program that may be changing the terminal mode,
- you will either want to say
-
- ReadMode 1
- system('someprogram');
- ReadMode 1;
-
- which resets the settings after the program has run, or:
-
- $somemode=1;
- ReadMode 0;
- system('someprogram');
- ReadMode 1;
-
- which records any changes the program may have made, before resetting the
- mode.
-
- =item ReadKey MODE [, Filehandle]
-
- Takes an integer argument, which can currently be one of the following
- values:
-
- 0 Perform a normal read using getc
- -1 Perform a non-blocked read
- >0 Perform a timed read
-
- (If the filehandle is not supplied, it will default to STDIN.) If there is
- nothing waiting in the buffer during a non-blocked read, then undef will be
- returned. Note that if the OS does not provide any known mechanism for
- non-blocking reads, then a C<ReadKey -1> can die with a fatal error. This
- will hopefully not be common.
-
- If MODE is greater then zero, then ReadKey will use it as a timeout value in
- seconds (fractional seconds are allowed), and won't return C<undef> until
- that time expires. (Note, again, that some OS's may not support this timeout
- behaviour.) If MODE is less then zero, then this is treated as a timeout
- of zero, and thus will return immediately if no character is waiting. A MODE
- of zero, however, will act like a normal getc.
-
- There are currently some limitations with this call under Windows. It may be
- possible that non-blocking reads will fail when reading repeating keys from
- more then one console.
-
- =item ReadLine MODE [, Filehandle]
-
- Takes an integer argument, which can currently be one of the following
- values:
-
- 0 Perform a normal read using scalar(<FileHandle>)
- -1 Perform a non-blocked read
- >0 Perform a timed read
-
- If there is nothing waiting in the buffer during a non-blocked read, then
- undef will be returned. Note that if the OS does not provide any known
- mechanism for non-blocking reads, then a C<ReadLine 1> can die with a fatal
- error. This will hopefully not be common. Note that a non-blocking test is
- only performed for the first character in the line, not the entire line.
- This call will probably B<not> do what you assume, especially with
- ReadMode's higher then 1. For example, pressing Space and then Backspace
- would appear to leave you where you started, but any timeouts would now
- be suspended.
-
- This call is currently not available under Windows.
-
- =item GetTerminalSize [Filehandle]
-
- Returns either an empty array if this operation is unsupported, or a four
- element array containing: the width of the terminal in characters, the
- height of the terminal in character, the width in pixels, and the height in
- pixels. (The pixel size will only be valid in some environments.)
-
- Under Windows, this function must be called with an "output" filehandle,
- such as STDOUT, or a handle opened to CONOUT$.
-
- =item SetTerminalSize WIDTH,HEIGHT,XPIX,YPIX [, Filehandle]
-
- Return -1 on failure, 0 otherwise. Note that this terminal size is only for
- B<informative> value, and changing the size via this mechanism will B<not>
- change the size of the screen. For example, XTerm uses a call like this when
- it resizes the screen. If any of the new measurements vary from the old, the
- OS will probably send a SIGWINCH signal to anything reading that tty or pty.
-
- This call does not work under Windows.
-
- =item GetSpeeds [, Filehandle]
-
- Returns either an empty array if the operation is unsupported, or a two
- value array containing the terminal in and out speeds, in B<decimal>. E.g,
- an in speed of 9600 baud and an out speed of 4800 baud would be returned as
- (9600,4800). Note that currently the in and out speeds will always be
- identical in some OS's. No speeds are reported under Windows.
-
- =item GetControlChars [, Filehandle]
-
- Returns an array containing key/value pairs suitable for a hash. The pairs
- consist of a key, the name of the control character/signal, and the value
- of that character, as a single character. This call does nothing under Windows.
-
- Each key will be an entry from the following list:
-
- DISCARD
- DSUSPEND
- EOF
- EOL
- EOL2
- ERASE
- ERASEWORD
- INTERRUPT
- KILL
- MIN
- QUIT
- QUOTENEXT
- REPRINT
- START
- STATUS
- STOP
- SUSPEND
- SWITCH
- TIME
-
- Thus, the following will always return the current interrupt character,
- regardless of platform.
-
- %keys = GetControlChars;
- $int = $keys{INTERRUPT};
-
- =item SetControlChars [, Filehandle]
-
- Takes an array containing key/value pairs, as a hash will produce. The pairs
- should consist of a key that is the name of a legal control
- character/signal, and the value should be either a single character, or a
- number in the range 0-255. SetControlChars will die with a runtime error if
- an invalid character name is passed or there is an error changing the
- settings. The list of valid names is easily available via
-
- %cchars = GetControlChars();
- @cnames = keys %cchars;
-
- This call does nothing under Windows.
