This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond- ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux. NAME
tcdrain - wait for transmission of output SYNOPSIS
#include <termios.h> int tcdrain(int fildes); DESCRIPTION
The tcdrain() function shall block until all output written to the object referred to by fildes is transmitted. The fildes argument is an open file descriptor associated with a terminal. Any attempts to use tcdrain() from a process which is a member of a background process group on a fildes associated with its controlling terminal, shall cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal. If the calling process is blocking or ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process shall be allowed to perform the operation, and no signal is sent. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error. ERRORS
The tcdrain() function shall fail if: EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor. EINTR A signal interrupted tcdrain(). ENOTTY The file associated with fildes is not a terminal. The tcdrain() function may fail if: EIO The process group of the writing process is orphaned, and the writing process is not ignoring or blocking SIGTTOU. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
None. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS

tcflush - flush non-transmitted output data, non-read input data, or both SYNOPSIS
#include <termios.h> int tcflush(int fildes, int queue_selector); DESCRIPTION
Upon successful completion, tcflush() shall discard data written to the object referred to by fildes (an open file descriptor associated with a terminal) but not transmitted, or data received but not read, depending on the value of queue_selector: * If queue_selector is TCIFLUSH, it shall flush data received but not read. * If queue_selector is TCOFLUSH, it shall flush data written but not transmitted. * If queue_selector is TCIOFLUSH, it shall flush both data received but not read and data written but not transmitted. Attempts to use tcflush() from a process which is a member of a background process group on a fildes associated with its controlling termi- nal shall cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal. If the calling process is blocking or ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process shall be allowed to perform the operation, and no signal is sent. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error. ERRORS
The tcflush() function shall fail if: EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor. EINVAL The queue_selector argument is not a supported value. ENOTTY The file associated with fildes is not a terminal. The tcflush() function may fail if: EIO The process group of the writing process is orphaned, and the writing process is not ignoring or blocking SIGTTOU. The following sections are informative.
