| 2 | :mod:`tty` --- Terminal control functions |

| 12 | The :mod:`tty` module defines functions for putting the tty into cbreak and raw |
| 13 | modes. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Because it requires the :mod:`termios` module, it will work only on Unix. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The :mod:`tty` module defines the following functions: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | |
| 20 | .. function:: setraw(fd[, when]) |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Change the mode of the file descriptor *fd* to raw. If *when* is omitted, it |
| 23 | defaults to :const:`termios.TCSAFLUSH`, and is passed to |
| 24 | :func:`termios.tcsetattr`. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | |
| 27 | .. function:: setcbreak(fd[, when]) |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Change the mode of file descriptor *fd* to cbreak. If *when* is omitted, it |
| 30 | defaults to :const:`termios.TCSAFLUSH`, and is passed to |
| 31 | :func:`termios.tcsetattr`. |
