IO.console

Add console capabilities to IO instances.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'io-console'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install io-console

Usage

require 'io/console'

IO.console      -> #<File:/dev/tty>
IO.console(sym, *args)

Returns a File instance opened console.

If sym is given, it will be sent to the opened console with args and the result will be returned instead of the console IO itself.
