NAME
       stty, gtty - Set and get terminal state

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sgtty.h>

       stty (
	   int fd,
	   struct sgttyb *buf );

       gtty (
	   int fd,
	   struct sgttyb *buf );

DESCRIPTION
       The  stty subroutine sets the state of the terminal associated with fd.	The gtty subroutine retrieves the state of the terminal associated
       with fd. To set the state of a terminal, the stty call must have write permission.

       Calls to these subroutines, supported only to ensure BSD binary compatibility, have been superseded by the ioctl  system  call.	 The  stty
       call  is  implemented as ioctl(fd, TIOCSETP, buf), while the gtty call is implemented as ioctl(fd, TIOCGETP, buf).  See ioctl(2) and tty(7)
       for more information.

RETURN VALUES
       If the call is successful, zero is returned; otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno indicates the reason for the failure.
