- set blocking `stdio` and `stderr` ensuring that terminal output does not truncate.
 
- ```js
 
- const setBlocking = require('set-blocking')
 
- setBlocking(true)
 
- console.log(someLargeStringToOutput)
 
- ```
 
- ## Historical Context/Word of Warning
 
- This was created as a shim to address the bug discussed in [node #6456](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/6456). This bug crops up on
 
- newer versions of Node.js (`0.12+`), truncating terminal output.
 
- You should be mindful of the side-effects caused by using `set-blocking`:
 
- * if your module sets blocking to `true`, it will effect other modules
 
-   consuming your library. In [yargs](https://github.com/yargs/yargs/blob/master/yargs.js#L653) we only call
 
-   `setBlocking(true)` once we already know we are about to call `process.exit(code)`.
 
- * this patch will not apply to subprocesses spawned with `isTTY = true`, this is
 
-   the [default `spawn()` behavior](https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_spawn_command_args_options).
