Hi
My project is not async in nature but I can save myself some processing work if I read as much from stdin as possible, act on all input then display all changes together.
what i'd like is something like
stdin.read_everything_ready(buf)
the current read seems to wait until either the buf is full, or EOI to return.
I would like to wait until there is something to read, then read everything available and return immediately.
Something like
stdin.read(&mut buf[..1]) //this one waits
stdin.try_read(&mut buf[1..]) // this one doesn't
I've already tried converting the entire project to async. while, technically, it solved this issue (really awkwardly) it created many bigger issues.
Is there a function that exists already to do a try/poll read available somewhere?
Thanks
