Take a look at man 4 termios
specifically at local flag named "ECHO".
you want to disable it via tcsetattr() Â (TermIO unit)
Thanks for the hint. I haven't yet tried it, but I would expect it to fail,as stty (see stty.c in
GNU coreutils) calls tcsetattr and stty fails reporting 'stty: stdin isn't a terminal' .
No, it was my own fault. I were executing '/bin/stty -echo' with AssignStreams and then StdIn is
indeed not a terminal, but a pipe. When I execute it normally, then stty does work, so I expect
tcsetattr to work too.
So, we can now use Readln without echoing in Terminal.app. There is still echoing to the Xcode
Console window, but let's assume that is a bug or limitation of Xcode.
Maybe something to add to the fpc runtime libs ?
