File I O
Programmers need to understand character encoding arguments in TERR.
The functions for creating connections (such as
file
and
socketConnection
) have an encoding argument that
specifies a character encoding for the connection. Characters are converted to
or from that encoding when writing to or reading from the connection.
You can use the option
--console-encoding
and the function
terrUtils::setConsoleEncoding
to set the encoding for
console reading or writing to
stdin
and
stdout
.
