Fixes to syborg-graphicswrapper.vcproj These changes allow syborg-graphicswrapper to link against the hostthreadadapter and khronosapiwrapper libraries built by the graphics.simulator component. The .vcproj file uses relative paths, which requires that the following three packages are laid out as follows: os/ graphics adapt/ graphics.simulator qemu


:mod:`tty` --- Terminal control functions
=========================================

.. module:: tty
   :platform: Unix
   :synopsis: Utility functions that perform common terminal control operations.
.. moduleauthor:: Steen Lumholt
.. sectionauthor:: Moshe Zadka <moshez@zadka.site.co.il>


The :mod:`tty` module defines functions for putting the tty into cbreak and raw
modes.

Because it requires the :mod:`termios` module, it will work only on Unix.

The :mod:`tty` module defines the following functions:


.. function:: setraw(fd[, when])

   Change the mode of the file descriptor *fd* to raw. If *when* is omitted, it
   defaults to :const:`termios.TCSAFLUSH`, and is passed to
   :func:`termios.tcsetattr`.


.. function:: setcbreak(fd[, when])

   Change the mode of file descriptor *fd* to cbreak. If *when* is omitted, it
   defaults to :const:`termios.TCSAFLUSH`, and is passed to
   :func:`termios.tcsetattr`.
