provides the <code>tty.ReadStream</code> and <code>tty.WriteStream</code> classes. In most cases, it will not be necessary or possible to use this module directly. However, it can be accessed using:</p> <pre><code class="language-js">const tty = require('tty');</code></pre> <p>When Node.js detects that it is being run with a text terminal ("TTY") attached, <a href="process.html#process_process_stdin"><code>process.stdin</code></a> will, by default, be initialized as an instance of <code>tty.ReadStream</code> and both <a href="process.html#process_process_stdout"><code>process.stdout</code></a> and <a href="process.html#process_process_stderr"><code>process.stderr</code></a> will, by default be instances of <code>tty.WriteStream</code>. The preferred method of determining whether Node.js is being run within a TTY context is to check that the value of the <code>process.stdout.isTTY</code> property is <code>true</code>:</p> <pre><code class="language-sh">$ node -p -e "Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY)" true $ node -p -e "Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY)" | cat false</code></pre> <p>In most cases, there should be little to no reason for an application to manually create instances of the <code>tty.ReadStream</code> and <code>tty.WriteStream</code> classes.</p> <h2>Class: tty.ReadStream<span><a class="mark" href="#tty_class_tty_readstream" id="tty_class_tty_readstream">#</a></span></h2> <div class="api_metadata"> <span>Added in: v0.5.8</span> </div><p>The <code>tty.ReadStream</code> class is a subclass of <a href="net.html#net_class_net_socket"><code>net.Socket</code></a> that represents the readable side of a TTY.
