tty_set()

Updates the properties of the TTY.

Description

The tty_set() function is used to update the properties of the terminal (TTY). It allows modifying TTY settings such as echo, line buffering, and line feed behavior.

This function is typically used in interactive applications that need to change the behavior of the terminal, such as enabling or disabling echo, enabling or disabling line buffering, or modifying line feed behavior.

Syntax

  ;;; Updates the properties of the the TTY
  (@interface func (export "tty_set")
    (param $state (@witx pointer $tty))
    (result $error (expected (error $errno)))
  )

Parameters

• ctx: The function environment.
• tty_state: A pointer to a Tty structure containing the new TTY state.

Return Value

The function returns an Errno value indicating the result of the operation. If the operation is successful, it returns Errno::Success. If the TTY is not supported, it returns Errno::Notsup.

Note

• The tty_set() function updates the properties of the TTY.
• It checks if the TTY is available in the runtime. If it is not available, indicating that the program is not running in an interactive terminal, it returns Errno::Notsup.
• If the TTY is available, it reads the Tty structure from the memory specified by the tty_state pointer.
• It extracts the relevant TTY properties such as echo, line_buffered, and line_feeds.
• The function then constructs a WasiTtyState structure with the updated TTY properties.
• Finally, it calls the tty_set() method on the TTY bridge with the new TTY state to update the terminal properties.
• If the operation is successful, it returns Errno::Success.
