Term::Completion::_readkey - utility package for Term::Completion using Term::ReadKey

This utility package contains few methods that are required for Term::Completion to put the terminal in "raw" mode and back. This package uses Term::ReadKey to accomplish this, which should be portable across many systems.

set_raw_tty()

Uses Term::ReadKey's ReadMode 4 to set the terminal into "raw" mode, i.e. switch off the meaning of any control characters like CRTL-C etc. Also the echo of characters is switched off, so that the program has full control of what is typed and displayed.

Uses the "in" field of the Term::Completion object to get the input file handle.

reset_tty()

Resets the terminal to its previous state, using ReadMode 0.

get_key()

Reads one byte from the input handle. Uses ReadKey.

get_term_size()

Determine the terminal size with GetTerminalSize and return the list of columns and rows (two integers).
