cooked mode
The normalUnix character-input mode, with interrupts enabled and with erase,
kill and other special-character interpretations performed directly by the tty
driver. Opposite of raw mode. See also rare mode. Other operating systems often
have similar mode distinctions, and the raw/rare/cooked way of describing them
has spread widely along with the C language and other Unix exports. Most
generally, "cooked mode" may refer to any mode of a system that does extensive
preprocessing before presenting data to a program.
