PARAMETERS

       Specifies an open file descriptor associated with a terminal.  Points to a termios structure.

DESCRIPTION

       The  tcgetattr() function gets the parameters associated with the object referenced by the filedes parameter and stores them in the termios
       structure referenced by the termios_p parameter.

       If the device does not support split baud rates, the input baud rate stored in the termios structure will be 0 (zero).

       The tcgetattr() function may be called from any process.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, 0 (zero) is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The tcgetattr() function sets errno to the specified values for the following conditions:

       The filedes parameter is not a valid file descriptor.  The file associated with the filedes parameter is not a terminal.
