Re: Pretending known chardata is an I/O device?

hi Yestin

the Erlang Language Server has a module that given a string implements "a
subset of the io protocol in order to only support reading operations."
https://github.com/erlang-ls/erlang_ls/blob/master/src/els_io_string.erl
(given that it exists in erlang_ls I assume there is no such implementation
in Erlang/OTP itself)

hope this helps
