In that use case it was a bit more challenging because I had never written to an actual tty before (ansi escape codes for coloring log files has been about the limit of my experience). For that use case I just really needed to send and receive text. I ended up using this library [ &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;wavesoft&amp;#x2F;local-echo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;wavesoft&amp;#x2F;local-echo&lt;/a&gt; ] to smooth that process out until I could learn about how to do things properly.&lt;p&gt;Are any suggestions on:&lt;p&gt;1. where to learn about how ttys work to do things the right way, or&lt;p&gt;2. suggested libraries like local-echo that can wrap over some of the trickier bits of just getting text on the screen?&lt;p&gt;Thanks again for maintaining such a great &amp;amp; useful library!</text></comment>
