Trait Terminal 

pub trait Terminal {
    // Required methods
    fn write(&mut self, bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<()>;
    fn read(
        &mut self,
        buf: &mut [u8],
        timeout: Option<Duration>,
    ) -> Result<Option<usize>>;

    // Provided methods
    fn restore(&mut self) -> Result<()> { ... }
    fn modes(&mut self, _paste: bool, _kitty: bool) { ... }
}

A byte stream to a terminal with a timed read.

Required Methods

fn write(&mut self, bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<()>

Writes all of bytes and flushes.

Errors

When the output fails.

fn read( &mut self, buf: &mut [u8], timeout: Option<Duration>, ) -> Result<Option<usize>>

Reads available input into buf, waiting at most timeout (None waits for input). Ok(None) means the wait timed out; Ok(Some(0)) that the input is closed.

Errors

When the input fails.

Provided Methods

fn restore(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Puts the terminal back as it was (leaves raw mode). Called once, when the session closes or fails to connect.

Errors

When the terminal can’t be restored.

fn modes(&mut self, _paste: bool, _kitty: bool)

Notes which input modes the session enabled, so a process killed by a signal can still undo them.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
