Dear Pádraig,
Thank you for the excellent explanation. Specifically, "I.e. input _is_ sent
character at a time rather than line at a time," is enlightening.
Kaz Kylheku gave a helpful response earlier, but I forgot to cc coreutils in my response
to him. He suggested that it might be acceptable to add a "cursescbreak"
option, but that is obviously entirely upto the maintainers. I could try working on this
if you like, and I had signed a set of copyright assignment forms for FSF earlier for a
glibc contribution, which ended up not happening since I started working at a different
university. Therefore, I might have to do that again (is it required?).
Doing this might be useful for users who expect curses like behavior without
having to worry about *what
exactly* needs to be done to get curses like behavior (such as clearing ICRNL).
I'd be inclined to leave as is.
I.e. I'm not sure that cursescbreak would add enough improvement over
cbreak+icrnl
cheers,
Pádraig
