[R] ins

The input stream
[R] outs

The output stream

Class Public methods

new(in_stream, out_stream, err_stream=$stderr, usetty=true)

Creates a new StreamUI wrapping in_stream for user input, out_stream for standard output, err_stream for error output. If usetty is true then special operations (like asking for passwords) will use the TTY commands to disable character echo.
