DESCRIPTION

     The cfmakeraw(), cfmakesane(), tcgetattr() and tcsetattr() functions are provided for getting and setting the termios structure.

     The cfgetispeed(), cfsetispeed(), cfgetospeed(), cfsetospeed() and cfsetspeed() functions are provided for getting and setting the baud rate
     values in the termios structure.  The effects of the functions on the terminal as described below do not become effective, nor are all errors
     detected, until the tcsetattr() function is called.  Certain values for baud rates set in the termios structure and passed to tcsetattr()
     have special meanings.  These are discussed in the portion of the manual page that describes the tcsetattr() function.

GETTING AND SETTING THE BAUD RATE

     The input and output baud rates are found in the termios structure.  The unsigned integer speed_t is typedef'd in the include file
     <termios.h>.  The value of the integer corresponds directly to the baud rate being represented, however, the following symbolic values are
     defined.

     #define B0      0
     #define B50     50
     #define B75     75
     #define B110    110
     #define B134    134
     #define B150    150
     #define B200    200
     #define B300    300
     #define B600    600
     #define B1200   1200
     #define B1800   1800
     #define B2400   2400
     #define B4800   4800
     #define B9600   9600
     #define B19200  19200
     #define B38400  38400
     #ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
     #define EXTA    19200
     #define EXTB    38400
     #endif  /*_POSIX_SOURCE */

     The cfgetispeed() function returns the input baud rate in the termios structure referenced by tp.

     The cfsetispeed() function sets the input baud rate in the termios structure referenced by tp to speed.

     The cfgetospeed() function returns the output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by tp.

     The cfsetospeed() function sets the output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by tp to speed.

     The cfsetspeed() function sets both the input and output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by tp to speed.

     Upon successful completion, the functions cfsetispeed(), cfsetospeed(), and cfsetspeed() return a value of 0.  Otherwise, a value of -1 is
     returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

GETTING AND SETTING THE TERMIOS STATE

     This section describes the functions that are used to control the general terminal interface.  Unless otherwise noted for a specific command,
     these functions are restricted from use by background processes.  Attempts to perform these operations shall cause the process group to be
     sent a SIGTTOU signal.  If the calling process is blocking or ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process is allowed to perform the operation and
     the SIGTTOU signal is not sent.

     In all the functions, although fd is an open file descriptor, the functions affect the underlying terminal file, not just the open file
     description associated with the particular file descriptor.

     The cfmakeraw() function sets the flags stored in the termios structure to a state disabling all input and output processing, giving a ``raw
     I/O path'', while the cfmakesane() function sets them to a state similar to those of a newly created terminal device.  It should be noted
     that there is no function to reverse this effect.	This is because there are a variety of processing options that could be re-enabled and the
     correct method is for an application to snapshot the current terminal state using the function tcgetattr(), setting raw or sane mode with
     cfmakeraw() or cfmakesane() and the subsequent tcsetattr(), and then using another tcsetattr() with the saved state to revert to the previous
     terminal state.

     The tcgetattr() function copies the parameters associated with the terminal referenced by fd in the termios structure referenced by tp.  This
     function is allowed from a background process, however, the terminal attributes may be subsequently changed by a foreground process.

     The tcsetattr() function sets the parameters associated with the terminal from the termios structure referenced by tp.  The action argument
     is created by or'ing the following values, as specified in the include file <termios.h>.

     TCSANOW	The change occurs immediately.

     TCSADRAIN	The change occurs after all output written to fd has been transmitted to the terminal.	This value of action should be used when
		changing parameters that affect output.

     TCSAFLUSH	The change occurs after all output written to fd has been transmitted to the terminal.	Additionally, any input that has been
		received but not read is discarded.

     TCSASOFT	If this value is or'ed into the action value, the values of the c_cflag, c_ispeed, and c_ospeed fields are ignored.

     The 0 baud rate is used to terminate the connection.  If 0 is specified as the output speed to the function tcsetattr(), modem control will
     no longer be asserted on the terminal, disconnecting the terminal.

     If zero is specified as the input speed to the function tcsetattr(), the input baud rate will be set to the same value as that specified by
     the output baud rate.

     If tcsetattr() is unable to make any of the requested changes, it returns -1 and sets errno.  Otherwise, it makes all of the requested
     changes it can.  If the specified input and output baud rates differ and are a combination that is not supported, neither baud rate is
     changed.

     Upon successful completion, the functions tcgetattr() and tcsetattr() return a value of 0.  Otherwise, they return -1 and the global variable
     errno is set to indicate the error, as follows:

     [EBADF]		The fd argument to tcgetattr() or tcsetattr() was not a valid file descriptor.

     [EINTR]		The tcsetattr() function was interrupted by a signal.

     [EINVAL]		The action argument to the tcsetattr() function was not valid, or an attempt was made to change an attribute represented
			in the termios structure to an unsupported value.

     [ENOTTY]		The file associated with the fd argument to tcgetattr() or tcsetattr() is not a terminal.

STANDARDS

     The cfgetispeed(), cfsetispeed(), cfgetospeed(), cfsetospeed(), tcgetattr() and tcsetattr() functions are expected to be compliant with the
     IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX.1'') specification.	The cfmakeraw(), cfmakesane() and cfsetspeed() functions, as well as the TCSASOFT option
     to the tcsetattr() function are extensions to the IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX.1'') specification.
