cooked mode

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.
