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 thread is blocking SIGTTOU signals or the process is 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(). EIO The process group of the writing process is orphaned, the calling thread is not blocking SIGTTOU, and the process is not ignoring SIGTTOU. ENOTTY The file associated with fildes is not a terminal. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES

tcsendbreak -- send a break for a specific duration SYNOPSIS
#include <termios.h> int tcsendbreak(int fildes, int duration); DESCRIPTION
If the terminal is using asynchronous serial data transmission, tcsendbreak() shall cause transmission of a continuous stream of zero-val- ued bits for a specific duration. If duration is 0, it shall cause transmission of zero-valued bits for at least 0.25 seconds, and not more than 0.5 seconds. If duration is not 0, it shall send zero-valued bits for an implementation-defined period of time. The fildes argument is an open file descriptor associated with a terminal. If the terminal is not using asynchronous serial data transmission, it is implementation-defined whether tcsendbreak() sends data to gener- ate a break condition or returns without taking any action. Attempts to use tcsendbreak() 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 thread is blocking SIGTTOU signals or the process is 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 tcsendbreak() function shall fail if: EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor. EIO The process group of the writing process is orphaned, the calling thread is not blocking SIGTTOU, and the process is not ignoring SIGTTOU.
