Deno.stdin.readSync - Deno documentation
method Deno.stdin.readSync
stdin.readSync(p: Uint8Array): number | null
Synchronously read from the incoming data from `stdin` into an array buffer (`p`). Returns 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 = Deno.stdin.readSync(buf); // 11 bytes const text = new TextDecoder().decode(buf); // "hello world" ```

Parameters

p: Uint8Array

Return Type

number | null
