write

fun write(data: String, key: Key = definedExternally)(source)
fun write(data: Buffer, key: Key = definedExternally)(source)

The rl.write() method will write either data or a key sequence identified by key to the output. The key argument is supported only if output is a TTY text terminal. See TTY keybindings for a list of key combinations.

If key is specified, data is ignored.

When called, rl.write() will resume the input stream if it has been paused.

If the Interface was created with output set to null or undefined the data and key are not written.

rl.write('Delete this!');
// Simulate Ctrl+U to delete the line written previously
rl.write(null, { ctrl: true, name: 'u' });
Content copied to clipboard

The rl.write() method will write the data to the readline Interface's input as if it were provided by the user.
