+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The termios functions describe a general terminal interface that is
+provided to control asynchronous communications ports.
+.SS The termios structure
+Many of the functions described here have a \fItermios_p\fP argument
+that is a pointer to a \fItermios\fP structure.
+This structure contains at least the following members:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+tcflag_t c_iflag; /* input modes */
+tcflag_t c_oflag; /* output modes */
+tcflag_t c_cflag; /* control modes */
+tcflag_t c_lflag; /* local modes */
+cc_t c_cc[NCCS]; /* special characters */
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+The values that may be assigned to these fields are described below.
+In the case of the first four bit-mask fields,
+the definitions of some of the associated flags that may be set are
+exposed only if a specific feature test macro (see
+.BR feature_test_macros (7))
+is defined, as noted in brackets ("[]").
+.P
+In the descriptions below, "not in POSIX" means that the
+value is not specified in POSIX.1-2001,
+and "XSI" means that the value is specified in POSIX.1-2001
+as part of the XSI extension.
+.P
+\fIc_iflag\fP flag constants:
+.TP
+.B IGNBRK
+Ignore BREAK condition on input.
+.TP
+.B BRKINT
+If \fBIGNBRK\fP is set, a BREAK is ignored.
+If it is not set
+but \fBBRKINT\fP is set, then a BREAK causes the input and output
+queues to be flushed, and if the terminal is the controlling
+terminal of a foreground process group, it will cause a
+\fBSIGINT\fP to be sent to this foreground process group.
+When neither \fBIGNBRK\fP nor \fBBRKINT\fP are set, a BREAK
+reads as a null byte (\[aq]\e0\[aq]), except when \fBPARMRK\fP is set,
+in which case it reads as the sequence \e377 \e0 \e0.
+.TP
+.B IGNPAR
+Ignore framing errors and parity errors.
+.TP
+.B PARMRK
+If this bit is set, input bytes with parity or framing errors are
+marked when passed to the program.
+This bit is meaningful only when
+\fBINPCK\fP is set and \fBIGNPAR\fP is not set.
+The way erroneous bytes are marked is with two preceding bytes,
+\e377 and \e0.
+Thus, the program actually reads three bytes for one
+erroneous byte received from the terminal.
+If a valid byte has the value \e377,
+and \fBISTRIP\fP (see below) is not set,
+the program might confuse it with the prefix that marks a
+parity error.
+Therefore, a valid byte \e377 is passed to the program as two
+bytes, \e377 \e377, in this case.
+.IP
+If neither \fBIGNPAR\fP nor \fBPARMRK\fP
+is set, read a character with a parity error or framing error
+as \e0.
+.TP
+.B INPCK
+Enable input parity checking.
+.TP
+.B ISTRIP
+Strip off eighth bit.
+.TP
+.B INLCR
+Translate NL to CR on input.
+.TP
+.B IGNCR
+Ignore carriage return on input.
+.TP
+.B ICRNL
+Translate carriage return to newline on input (unless \fBIGNCR\fP is set).
+.TP
+.B IUCLC
+(not in POSIX) Map uppercase characters to lowercase on input.
+.TP
+.B IXON
+Enable XON/XOFF flow control on output.
+.TP
+.B IXANY
+(XSI) Typing any character will restart stopped output.
+(The default is to allow just the START character to restart output.)
+.TP
+.B IXOFF
+Enable XON/XOFF flow control on input.
+.TP
+.B IMAXBEL
+(not in POSIX) Ring bell when input queue is full.
+Linux does not implement this bit, and acts as if it is always set.
+.TP
+.BR IUTF8 " (since Linux 2.6.4)"
+(not in POSIX) Input is UTF8;
+this allows character-erase to be correctly performed in cooked mode.
+.P

+.TP
+.B OLCUC
+(not in POSIX) Map lowercase characters to uppercase on output.
+.TP
+.B ONLCR
+(XSI) Map NL to CR-NL on output.
+.TP
+.B OCRNL
+Map CR to NL on output.
+.TP
+.B ONOCR
+Don't output CR at column 0.
+.TP
+.B ONLRET
+The NL character is assumed to do the carriage-return function;
+the kernel's idea of the current column is set to 0
+after both NL and CR.
+.TP
+.B OFILL
+Send fill characters for a delay, rather than using a timed delay.
+.TP
+.B OFDEL

+.P
+The above symbolic subscript values are all different, except that

+.B VMIN
+may have the same value as

+In noncanonical mode the special character meaning is replaced
+by the timeout meaning.
+For an explanation of
+.B VMIN
+and
+.BR VTIME ,
+see the description of
+noncanonical mode below.
+.SS Retrieving and changing terminal settings
+.BR tcgetattr ()
+gets the parameters associated with the object referred by \fIfd\fP and
+stores them in the \fItermios\fP structure referenced by
+\fItermios_p\fP.
+This function may be invoked from a background process;
+however, the terminal attributes may be subsequently changed by a
+foreground process.
+.P
+.BR tcsetattr ()
+sets the parameters associated with the terminal (unless support is
+required from the underlying hardware that is not available) from the
+\fItermios\fP structure referred to by \fItermios_p\fP.
+\fIoptional_actions\fP specifies when the changes take effect:
+.TP
+.B TCSANOW
+the change occurs immediately.
+.TP
+.B TCSADRAIN
+the change occurs after all output written to
+.I fd
+has been transmitted.
+This option should be used when changing
+parameters that affect output.
+.TP
+.B TCSAFLUSH
+the change occurs after all output written to the object referred by
+.I fd
+has been transmitted, and all input that has been received but not read
+will be discarded before the change is made.
+.SS Canonical and noncanonical mode
+The setting of the
+.B ICANON
+canon flag in
+.I c_lflag
+determines whether the terminal is operating in canonical mode
+.RB ( ICANON
+set) or
+noncanonical mode
+.RB ( ICANON
+unset).
+By default,
+.B ICANON
+is set.
+.P
+In canonical mode:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Input is made available line by line.
+An input line is available when one of the line delimiters
+is typed (NL, EOL, EOL2; or EOF at the start of line).
+Except in the case of EOF, the line delimiter is included
+in the buffer returned by
+.BR read (2).
+.IP \[bu]
+Line editing is enabled (ERASE, KILL;
+and if the
+.B IEXTEN
+flag is set: WERASE, REPRINT, LNEXT).
+A
+.BR read (2)
+returns at most one line of input; if the
+.BR read (2)
+requested fewer bytes than are available in the current line of input,
+then only as many bytes as requested are read,
+and the remaining characters will be available for a future
+.BR read (2).
+.IP \[bu]
+The maximum line length is 4096 chars
+(including the terminating newline character);
+lines longer than 4096 chars are truncated.
+After 4095 characters, input processing (e.g.,
+.B ISIG
+and
+.B ECHO*
+processing) continues, but any input data after 4095 characters up to
+(but not including) any terminating newline is discarded.
+This ensures that the terminal can always receive
+more input until at least one line can be read.
+.P
+In noncanonical mode input is available immediately (without
+the user having to type a line-delimiter character),
+no input processing is performed,
+and line editing is disabled.
+The read buffer will only accept 4095 chars; this provides the
+necessary space for a newline char if the input mode is switched
+to canonical.
+The settings of MIN
+.RI ( c_cc[VMIN] )
+and TIME
+.RI ( c_cc[VTIME] )
+determine the circumstances in which a
+.BR read (2)
+completes; there are four distinct cases:
+.TP
+MIN == 0, TIME == 0 (polling read)
+If data is available,
+.BR read (2)
+returns immediately, with the lesser of the number of bytes
+available, or the number of bytes requested.
+If no data is available,
+.BR read (2)
+returns 0.
+.TP
+MIN > 0, TIME == 0 (blocking read)
+.BR read (2)
+blocks until MIN bytes are available,
+and returns up to the number of bytes requested.
+.TP
+MIN == 0, TIME > 0 (read with timeout)
+TIME specifies the limit for a timer in tenths of a second.
+The timer is started when
+.BR read (2)
+is called.
+.BR read (2)
+returns either when at least one byte of data is available,
+or when the timer expires.
+If the timer expires without any input becoming available,
+.BR read (2)
+returns 0.

+.BR tcsendbreak ()
+transmits a continuous stream of zero-valued bits for a specific

+.BR cfgetispeed ()
+returns the input baud rate stored in the
+\fItermios\fP
+structure.
+.P
+.BR cfgetospeed ()
+returns the output baud rate stored in the \fItermios\fP structure.

+All other functions return:
+.TP
+.B 0
+on success.
+.TP
+.B \-1
+on failure and set
+.I errno
+to indicate the error.
+.P
+Note that
+.BR tcsetattr ()
+returns success if \fIany\fP of the requested changes could be
+successfully carried out.
+Therefore, when making multiple changes
+it may be necessary to follow this call with a further call to
+.BR tcgetattr ()
+to check that all changes have been performed successfully.

+.SH NOTES
+UNIX\ V7 and several later systems have a list of baud rates
+where after the values
+.B B0
+through
+.B B9600
+one finds the two constants
+.BR EXTA ,
+.B EXTB
+("External A" and "External B").
+Many systems extend the list with much higher baud rates.
+.P
+The effect of a nonzero \fIduration\fP with
+.BR tcsendbreak ()
+varies.
+SunOS specifies a break of
+.I "duration\ *\ N"
+seconds, where \fIN\fP is at least 0.25, and not more than 0.5.
+Linux, AIX, DU, Tru64 send a break of
+.I duration
+milliseconds.
+FreeBSD and NetBSD and HP-UX and MacOS ignore the value of
+.IR duration .
+Under Solaris and UnixWare,
+.BR tcsendbreak ()
+with nonzero
+.I duration
+behaves like
+.BR tcdrain ().
+.\" libc4 until 4.7.5, glibc for sysv: EINVAL for duration > 0.
+.\" libc4.7.6, libc5, glibc for unix: duration in ms.
