Well, first make sure there is only one layer! Then, deal with the limited number of approved vendors for each major customer. Finally, negotiate. Taking more than a third is pretty greedy, but not uncommon. Watch out for other ways, like goofy 401-K's selected and managed by the personnel manager's father that only sell wrappered securities and take management fees, match but vesting takes forever. I had some unvested match, which I would vest in instantly if disabled, but they terminated the plan to reel it back in.

tcgetattr

tcgetattr(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 					     tcgetattr(3C)

NAME

       tcgetattr - get the parameters associated with the terminal

SYNOPSIS

       #include <termios.h>

       int tcgetattr(int fildes, struct termios *termios_p);

DESCRIPTION

       The  tcgetattr()  function  gets the parameters associated with the terminal referred to by fildes and stores them in the termios structure
       (see termio(7I)) referenced by termios_p. The fildes argument is an open file descriptor associated with a terminal.

       The termios_p argument is a pointer to a termios structure.

       The tcgetattr() operation is allowed from any process.

       If the terminal device supports different input and output baud rates, the baud rates stored in the termios  structure  returned  by  tcge-
       tattr()	reflect  the actual baud rates, even if they are equal. If differing baud rates are not supported, the rate returned as the output
       baud rate is the actual baud rate. If the terminal device does not support split baud rates, the input baud  rate  stored  in  the  termios
       structure will be 0.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

       The tcgetattr() function will fail if:

       EBADF	 The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.

       ENOTTY	 The file associated with fildes is not a terminal.
