## TTY
Use `require('tty')` to access this module.
### tty.open(path, args=[])
Spawns a new process with the executable pointed to by `path` as the session
leader to a new pseudo terminal.
Returns an array `[slaveFD, childProcess]`. `slaveFD` is the file descriptor
of the slave end of the pseudo terminal. `childProcess` is a child process
object.
### tty.isatty(fd)
Returns `true` or `false` depending on if the `fd` is associated with a
terminal.
### tty.setRawMode(mode)
`mode` should be `true` or `false`. This sets the properies of the current
process's stdin fd to act either as a raw device or default.
### tty.getColumns()
Returns the number of columns associated with the current process's TTY.
Note that each time this number is changed the process receives a `SIGWINCH`
signal. So you can keep a cache of it like this:
var columns = tty.getColumns();
process.on('SIGWINCH', function() {
columns = tty.getColumns();
});
