cooked mode: n. [Unix, by opposition from raw mode] The
normal character-input mode, with interrupts enabled and with erase, kill
and other special-character interpretations performed directly by the tty
driver. Oppose raw mode,
rare mode. This term is techspeak under Unix but jargon elsewhere;
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.
