NAME

       tcdrain - wait for transmission of output

SYNOPSIS

       #include <termios.h>

       int tcdrain(int fildes);

DESCRIPTION

       The  tcdrain()  function waits 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,  will	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 no signal is sent.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

       The tcdrain() function will 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.

PROLOG

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.
