/* This file controls the IO interactions between gdb and curses.
   When the TUI is enabled, gdb has two modes a curses and a standard
   mode.

   In curses mode, the gdb outputs are made in a curses command
   window.  For this, the gdb_stdout and gdb_stderr are redirected to
   the specific ui_file implemented by TUI.  The output is handled by
   tui_puts().  The input is also controlled by curses with
   tui_getc().  The readline library uses this function to get its
   input.  Several readline hooks are installed to redirect readline
   output to the TUI (see also the note below).

   In normal mode, the gdb outputs are restored to their origin, that
   is as if TUI is not used.  Readline also uses its original getc()
   function with stdin.

   Note SCz/2001-07-21: the current readline is not clean in its
   management of the output.  Even if we install a redisplay handler,
   it sometimes writes on a stdout file.  It is important to redirect
   every output produced by readline, otherwise the curses window will
   be garbled.  This is implemented with a pipe that TUI reads and
   readline writes to.  A gdb input handler is created so that reading
   the pipe is handled automatically.  This will probably not work on
   non-Unix platforms.  The best fix is to make readline clean enougth
   so that is never write on stdout.

   Note SCz/2002-09-01: we now use more readline hooks and it seems
   that with them we don't need the pipe anymore (verified by creating
   the pipe and closing its end so that write causes a SIGPIPE).  The
   old pipe code is still there and can be conditionally removed by
   #undef TUI_USE_PIPE_FOR_READLINE.  */
