And now we are checking that "stream" is a tty and then "stdout" is a tty in the console_*_cursor() functions. It would be better to add a "safe_fgets_stdin()" in src/pacman/util.c that wraps safe_fgets() and does the cursor on/off when pacman is asking for input. That is where we need it. A

We actually need this particular check when we print the line. The rationale here is to avoid printing the escape sequence if user redirects pacman output to a file. Escape symbols make sense only for a terminal. > In fact, I doubt that is needed anywhere in libalpm currently. > safe_fgets is used to read the localdb and when grepping install files > for functions.

That is where we need it. Yep, it makes sense. PTAL to upcoming patch.

Use ASCII control codes to hide cursor at the pacman start and then show the cursor when pacman finishes. It helps to avoid annoying blinking when progress bars are re-drawn. Cursor is reenabled if pacman expects user's input.
