-# winpty
-
-[](https://tea-ci.org/rprichard/winpty)
-
-winpty is a Windows software package providing an interface similar to a Unix
-pty-master for communicating with Windows console programs. The package
-consists of a library (libwinpty) and a tool for Cygwin and MSYS for running
-Windows console programs in a Cygwin/MSYS pty.
-
-The software works by starting the `winpty-agent.exe` process with a new,
-hidden console window, which bridges between the console API and terminal
-input/output escape codes. It polls the hidden console's screen buffer for
-changes and generates a corresponding stream of output.
-
-The Unix adapter allows running Windows console programs (e.g. CMD, PowerShell,
-IronPython, etc.) under `mintty` or Cygwin's `sshd` with
-properly-functioning input (e.g. arrow and function keys) and output (e.g. line
-buffering). The library could be also useful for writing a non-Cygwin SSH
-server.
-
-## Supported Windows versions
-
-winpty runs on Windows XP through Windows 10, including server versions. It
-can be compiled into either 32-bit or 64-bit binaries.
-
-## Cygwin/MSYS adapter (`winpty.exe`)
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-You need the following to build winpty:
-
-* A Cygwin or MSYS installation
-* GNU make
-* A MinGW g++ toolchain capable of compiling C++11 code to build `winpty.dll`
- and `winpty-agent.exe`
-* A g++ toolchain targeting Cygwin or MSYS to build `winpty.exe`
-
-Winpty requires two g++ toolchains as it is split into two parts. The
-`winpty.dll` and `winpty-agent.exe` binaries interface with the native
-Windows command prompt window so they are compiled with the native MinGW
-toolchain. The `winpty.exe` binary interfaces with the MSYS/Cygwin terminal so
-it is compiled with the MSYS/Cygwin toolchain.
-
-MinGW appears to be split into two distributions -- MinGW (creates 32-bit
-binaries) and MinGW-w64 (creates both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries). Either
-one is generally acceptable.
-
-#### Cygwin packages
-
-The default g++ compiler for Cygwin targets Cygwin itself, but Cygwin also
-packages MinGW-w64 compilers. As of this writing, the necessary packages are:
-
-* Either `mingw64-i686-gcc-g++` or `mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++`. Select the
- appropriate compiler for your CPU architecture.
-* `gcc-g++`
-* `make`
-
-As of this writing (2016-01-23), only the MinGW-w64 compiler is acceptable.
-The MinGW compiler (e.g. from the `mingw-gcc-g++` package) is no longer
-maintained and is too buggy.
-
-#### MSYS packages
-
-For the original MSYS, use the `mingw-get` tool (MinGW Installation Manager),
-and select at least these components:
-
-* `mingw-developer-toolkit`
-* `mingw32-base`
-* `mingw32-gcc-g++`
-* `msys-base`
-* `msys-system-builder`
-
-When running `./configure`, make sure that `mingw32-g++` is in your
-`PATH`. It will be in the `C:\MinGW\bin` directory.
-
-#### MSYS2 packages
-
-For MSYS2, use `pacman` and install at least these packages:
-
-* `msys/gcc`
-* `mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-gcc` or `mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc`. Select
- the appropriate compiler for your CPU architecture.
-* `make`
-
-MSYS2 provides three start menu shortcuts for starting MSYS2:
-
-* MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell
-* MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell
-* MSYS2 Shell
-
-To build winpty, use the MinGW-w64 {Win32,Win64} shortcut of the architecture
-matching MSYS2. These shortcuts will put the g++ compiler from the
-`{mingw32,mingw64}/mingw-w64-{i686,x86_64}-gcc` packages into the `PATH`.
-
-Alternatively, instead of installing `mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-gcc` or
-`mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc`, install the `mingw-w64-cross-gcc` and
-`mingw-w64-cross-crt-git` packages. These packages install cross-compilers
-into `/opt/bin`, and then any of the three shortcuts will work.
-
-### Building the Unix adapter
-
-In the project directory, run `./configure`, then `make`, then `make install`.
-By default, winpty is installed into `/usr/local`. Pass `PREFIX=<path>` to
-`make install` to override this default.
-
-### Using the Unix adapter
-
-To run a Windows console program in `mintty` or Cygwin `sshd`, prepend
-`winpty` to the command-line:
-
- $ winpty powershell
- Windows PowerShell

-## Embedding winpty / MSVC compilation
-
-See `src/include/winpty.h` for the prototypes of functions exported by
-`winpty.dll`.
-
-Only the `winpty.exe` binary uses Cygwin; all the other binaries work without
-it and can be compiled with either MinGW or MSVC. To compile using MSVC,
-download gyp and run `gyp -I configurations.gypi` in the `src` subdirectory.
-This will generate a `winpty.sln` and associated project files. See the
-`src/winpty.gyp` and `src/configurations.gypi` files for notes on dealing with
-MSVC versions and different architectures.
-
-Compiling winpty with MSVC currently requires MSVC 2013 or newer.
-
-## Debugging winpty
-
-winpty comes with a tool for collecting timestamped debugging output. To use
-it:
-
-1. Run `winpty-debugserver.exe` on the same computer as winpty.
-2. Set the `WINPTY_DEBUG` environment variable to `trace` for the
- `winpty.exe` process and/or the process using `libwinpty.dll`.
-
-winpty also recognizes a `WINPTY_SHOW_CONSOLE` environment variable. Set it
-to 1 to prevent winpty from hiding the console window.
