method ReadStream.prototype.setRawMode

Usage in Deno

```typescript import { ReadStream } from "node:node__tty.d.ts"; ```
ReadStream.prototype.setRawMode(mode: boolean): this
Allows configuration of `tty.ReadStream` so that it operates as a raw device. When in raw mode, input is always available character-by-character, not including modifiers. Additionally, all special processing of characters by the terminal is disabled, including echoing input characters. Ctrl+C will no longer cause a `SIGINT` when in this mode.

Parameters

mode: boolean
If `true`, configures the `tty.ReadStream` to operate as a raw device. If `false`, configures the `tty.ReadStream` to operate in its default mode. The `readStream.isRaw` property will be set to the resulting mode.

Return Type

this
The read stream instance.
