They allow overriding of the input/output files. fdIn normally 
refers to standard input, fdOut refers to standard output, and 
the getSizeOverride lets you provide a custom function instead of 
the default, which is to ask the operating system for the size of 
the terminal with ioctl.


I added those options to support my detachable.d program, which 
is like GNU Screen - it can detach from the terminal and keep 
running. Instead of talking straight to the actual terminal 
files, it talks through a socket to a helper program which lets 
it be reattached on a new terminal.
