NAME
       termio - the System V terminal driver interface

DESCRIPTION
       termio  is  the	name of the old System V terminal driver interface.  This interface defined a termio structure used to store terminal set-
       tings, and a range of ioctl(2) operations to get and set terminal attributes.

       The termio interface is now obsolete: POSIX.1-1990 standardized a modified version of this interface, under the name termios.  The  POSIX.1
       data  structure differs slightly from the System V version, and POSIX.1 defined a suite of functions to replace the various ioctl(2) opera-
       tions that existed in System V.	(This was done because ioctl(2) was unstandardized, and its variadic third argument does not  allow  argu-
       ment type checking.)

       If  you're  looking  for  page  called  "termio",  then you can probably find most of the information that you seek in either termios(3) or
       tty_ioctl(4).
