## API
|
|
|
|
Both methods returns a promise that is resolved when the `end` event fires on the `stdin` stream, indicating that there is no more data to be read.
|
|
|
|
### getStdin()
|
|
|
|
Get `stdin` as a `string`.
|
|
|
|
In a TTY context, a promise that resolves to an empty `string` is returned.
|
|
|
|
### getStdin.buffer()
|
|
|
|
Get `stdin` as a `Buffer`.
|
|
|
|
In a TTY context, a promise that resolves to an empty `Buffer` is returned.
