/*! Non-blocking access to stdin, stdout, and stderr.

This module provides bindings to the local event loop's TTY interface, using it
to offer synchronous but non-blocking versions of stdio. These handles can be
inspected for information about terminal dimensions or for related information
about the stream or terminal to which it is attached.

# Example

```rust
# #![allow(unused_must_use)]
use std::io;

let mut out = io::stdout();
out.write(b"Hello, world!");
```

// And so begins the tale of acquiring a uv handle to a stdio stream on all
// platforms in all situations. Our story begins by splitting the world into two
// categories, windows and unix. Then one day the creators of unix said let
// there be redirection! And henceforth there was redirection away from the
// console for standard I/O streams.
//
// After this day, the world split into four factions:
//
// 1. Unix with stdout on a terminal.
// 2. Unix with stdout redirected.
// 3. Windows with stdout on a terminal.
// 4. Windows with stdout redirected.
//
// Many years passed, and then one day the nation of libuv decided to unify this
// world. After months of toiling, uv created three ideas: TTY, Pipe, File.
// These three ideas propagated throughout the lands and the four great factions
// decided to settle among them.
//
// The groups of 1, 2, and 3 all worked very hard towards the idea of TTY. Upon
// doing so, they even enhanced themselves further then their Pipe/File
// brethren, becoming the dominant powers.
//
// The group of 4, however, decided to work independently. They abandoned the
// common TTY belief throughout, and even abandoned the fledgling Pipe belief.
// The members of the 4th faction decided to only align themselves with File.
//
// tl;dr; TTY works on everything but when windows stdout is redirected, in that
//        case pipe also doesn't work, but magically file does!
