-# node-pty
-
-[](https://dev.azure.com/vscode/node-pty/_build/latest?definitionId=11)
-
-`forkpty(3)` bindings for node.js. This allows you to fork processes with pseudoterminal file descriptors. It returns a terminal object which allows reads and writes.
-
-This is useful for:
-
-- Writing a terminal emulator (eg. via [xterm.js](https://github.com/sourcelair/xterm.js)).
-- Getting certain programs to *think* you're a terminal, such as when you need a program to send you control sequences.
-
-`node-pty` supports Linux, macOS and Windows. Windows support is possible by utilizing the [Windows conpty API](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2018/08/02/windows-command-line-introducing-the-windows-pseudo-console-conpty/) on Windows 1809+ and the [winpty](https://github.com/rprichard/winpty) library in older version.
-
-## Real-world Uses
-
-`node-pty` powers many different terminal emulators, including:
-
-- [Microsoft Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com)
-- [Hyper](https://hyper.is/)
-- [Upterm](https://github.com/railsware/upterm)
-- [Script Runner](https://github.com/ioquatix/script-runner) for Atom.
-- [Theia](https://github.com/theia-ide/theia)
-- [FreeMAN](https://github.com/matthew-matvei/freeman) file manager
-- [atom-xterm](https://atom.io/packages/atom-xterm) - Atom plugin for providing terminals inside your Atom workspace.
-- [Termination](https://atom.io/packages/termination) - Another Atom plugin that provides terminals inside your Atom workspace.
-- [electerm](https://github.com/electerm/electerm) Terminal/ssh/sftp client(linux, mac, win).
-- [Extraterm](http://extraterm.org/)
-- [Wetty](https://github.com/krishnasrinivas/wetty) Browser based Terminal over HTTP and HTTPS

-Do you use node-pty in your application as well? Please open a [Pull Request](https://github.com/Tyriar/node-pty/pulls) to include it here. We would love to have it in our list.
-
-## Example Usage
-
-```js
-var os = require('os');
-var pty = require('node-pty');
-
-var shell = os.platform() === 'win32' ? 'powershell.exe' : 'bash';
-
-var ptyProcess = pty.spawn(shell, [], {
- name: 'xterm-color',
- cols: 80,
- rows: 30,
- cwd: process.env.HOME,
- env: process.env
-});
-
-ptyProcess.on('data', function(data) {
- process.stdout.write(data);
-});
-
-ptyProcess.write('ls\r');
-ptyProcess.resize(100, 40);
-ptyProcess.write('ls\r');
-```
-
-## Building
-
-```bash
-# Install dependencies and build C++
-npm install
-# Compile TypeScript -> JavaScript
-npm run tsc
-```
-
-## Dependencies
-
-### Linux/Ubuntu
-
-```
-sudo apt install -y make python build-essential
-```
-
-The following are also needed:
-
-- Node.JS 10+
-
-### Windows
-
-`npm install` requires some tools to be present in the system like Python and C++ compiler. Windows users can easily install them by running the following command in PowerShell as administrator. For more information see https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools:
-
-```sh
-npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
-```
-
-The following are also needed:
-
-- [Windows SDK](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk) - only the "Desktop C++ Apps" components are needed to be installed
-- Node.JS 10+
-
-## Debugging
-
-[The wiki](https://github.com/Microsoft/node-pty/wiki/Debugging) contains instructions for debugging node-pty.
-
-## Security
-
-All processes launched from node-pty will launch at the same permission level of the parent process. Take care particularly when using node-pty inside a server that's accessible on the internet. We recommend launching the pty inside a container to protect your host machine.
-
-## Thread Safety
-
-Note that node-pty is not thread safe so running it across multiple worker threads in node.js could cause issues.
-
-## Flow Control
-
-Automatic flow control can be enabled by either providing `handleFlowControl = true` in the constructor options or setting it later on:
-
-```js
-const PAUSE = '\x13'; // XOFF
-const RESUME = '\x11'; // XON
-
-const ptyProcess = pty.spawn(shell, [], {handleFlowControl: true});
-
-// flow control in action
-ptyProcess.write(PAUSE); // pty will block and pause the slave program
-...
-ptyProcess.write(RESUME); // pty will enter flow mode and resume the slave program
-
-// temporarily disable/re-enable flow control
-ptyProcess.handleFlowControl = false;
-...
-ptyProcess.handleFlowControl = true;
-```
-
-By default `PAUSE` and `RESUME` are XON/XOFF control codes (as shown above). To avoid conflicts in environments that use these control codes for different purposes the messages can be customized as `flowControlPause: string` and `flowControlResume: string` in the constructor options. `PAUSE` and `RESUME` are not passed to the underlying pseudoterminal if flow control is enabled.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Powershell gives error 8009001d
-
-> Internal Windows PowerShell error. Loading managed Windows PowerShell failed with error 8009001d.
-
-This happens when PowerShell is launched with no `SystemRoot` environment variable present.
-
-### ConnectNamedPipe failed: Windows error 232
-
-This error can occur due to anti-virus software intercepting winpty from creating a pty. To workaround this you can exclude this file from your anti-virus scanning `node-pty\build\Release\winpty-agent.exe`
-
-## pty.js
-
-This project is forked from [chjj/pty.js](https://github.com/chjj/pty.js) with the primary goals being to provide better support for later Node.JS versions and Windows.
