Deno.stdin.read - Deno documentation
method Deno.stdin.read
stdin.read(p: Uint8Array): Promise<number | null>
Read the incoming data from `stdin` into an array buffer (`p`). Resolves to either the number of bytes read during the operation or EOF (`null`) if there was nothing more to read. It is possible for a read to successfully return with `0` bytes. This does not indicate EOF. **It is not guaranteed that the full buffer will be read in a single call.** ```ts // If the text "hello world" is piped into the script: const buf = new Uint8Array(100); const numberOfBytesRead = await Deno.stdin.read(buf); // 11 bytes const text = new TextDecoder().decode(buf); // "hello world" ```

Parameters

p: Uint8Array

Return Type

Promise<number | null>
