+ <item>If defined, disables input and output flow control for the pty opend by run_erl.
+ Useful if you want to remove any risk of accidentally blocking the flow control
+ by hit Ctrl-S (instead of Ctrl-D to detach).
+ Which may result in blocking of the entire beam process
+ and in the case of running heart as supervisor
+ even the heart process will be blocked when writing log message to terminal.
+ Leaving the heart process unable to do its work.</item>
