Is it possible to synchronously read from stdin in node.js? Because I'm writing a brainfuck to JavaScript compiler in JavaScript (just for fun). Brainfuck supports a read operation which needs to be implemented synchronously.
I tried this:
const fs = require('fs');
var c = fs.readSync(0,1,null,'utf-8');
console.log('character: '+c+' ('+c.charCodeAt(0)+')');
But this only produces this output:
fs:189
var r = binding.read(fd, buffer, offset, length, position);
^
Error: EAGAIN, Resource temporarily unavailable
