Terminal Utilities

Provides a cross-platform way to disable terminal echo or check if a stream is a tty.

Functionality is similar to python's getpass and os.isatty

Tested on Linux, macOS, and Windows. BSD will also probably work but hasn't been tested.

The windows portion uses the new official windows crate instead of the older winapi crate.

Example: Get a password

use passterm::read_password;
std::io::Write;

print!("New password: ");
std::io::stdout().flush()?;
let pass = read_password()?;
println!();

println!("Your password is: {}", pass.as_str());

Example: Check if standard output has been redirected

use passterm::{isatty, Stream}

let is_tty = isatty(Stream::Stdout);
if is_tty {
    println!("We're in a terminal");
} else {
    println!("Not in a terminal. Output was redirected >.");
}
