[Unix] CBREAK mode (character-by-character with interrupts enabled). Distinguished from raw mode and cooked mode; the phrase “a sort of half-cooked (rare?) mode” is used in the V7/BSD manuals to describe the mode. Usage: rare.
Rare mode, or formally, cbreak mode is a line discipline in Unix, between raw mode and cooked mode. Unlike cooked mode it works with single characters at a time, rather than forcing a wait for a whole line and then feeding the line in all at once. Yet unlike raw mode, keystrokes like abort (usually Control-C) are still processed by the terminal and will interrupt the program.
