COMMENT(manpage, section, releasedate, archive, short name)
manpage(FBB::Tty)(3bobcat)(_CurYrs_)(libbobcat-dev__CurVers_)
                    (Controls echoing of characters)

manpagename(FBB::Tty)(Controls echoing of characters entered at the terminal)

manpagesynopsis()
    bf(#include <bobcat/tty>)nl()
    Linking option: tt(-lbobcat)

manpagedescription()
    bf(Tty)(3bobcat) objects can be used to control the echoing of characters
entered at the terminal (usually at tt(/dev/tty)). Directly reading from
tt(/dev/tty) allows programs to read information (e.g., passwords or pass
phrases) even if the standard input stream is redirected to a file. Unless
redirected, tt(std::cin) is connected to tt(/dev/tty).

    bf(Tty)(3bobcat) objects may be used as stand-alone objects or (usually
anonymous) bf(Tty)(3bobcat) objects may be inserted into or extracted from
streams. When inserting or extracting objects the involved streams are not
affected; only the echoing of characters entered at tt(/dev/tty) is
manipulated.

    bf(Tty)(3bobcat)'s destructor does not reset the echo-state of
tt(/dev/tty) to its original value. If that is required a bf(Tty)(3bobcat)
object must be created first, calling its bf(echo(Tty::RESET)) member at the
appropriate time.

manpagesection(INHERITS FROM)
    -

manpagesection(ENUM)

    The tt(enum EchoType) requests the type of echo-handling:
    itemization(
    it() bf(RESET) is used to reset tt(/dev/tty)'s state to the actual state
        when a bf(Tty)(3bobcat) object was constructed
    it() bf(ON) is used to activate echoing of characters entered at
        tt(/dev/tty).
    it() bf(OFF) is used to suppress echoing of characters entered at
        tt(/dev/tty).
    )

manpagesection(CONSTRUCTORS)
    itemization(
    itb(Tty())
       The current state of tt(/dev/tty) is saved.

    itb(Tty(EchoType type))
       The current state of tt(/dev/tty) is saved, and the object's member
        tt(echo(type)) is called.
    )

    Copy and move constructors (and assignment operators) are available.

manpagesection(OVERLOADED OPERATORS)
    itemization(
    itb(std::istream &operator>>(std::istream &in, Tty const &tty))
       The extraction operator does not affect tt(in), but tt(/dev/tty)'s
        state is set according to the way the tt(tty) object was constructed.

    itb(std::ostream &operator<<(std::ostream &out, Tty const &tty))
       The insertion operator does not affect tt(out), but tt(/dev/tty)'s
        state is set according to the way the tt(tty) object was constructed.
    )

manpagesection(MEMBER FUNCTION)

    itemization(
    itb(echo(EchoType type))
       tt(/Dev/tty)'s state is set according to the tt(EchoType) value that is
        passed to this member.
    )

manpagesection(EXAMPLE)

    verbinclude(../../tty/driver/driver.cc)

manpagefiles()
