TERMIO(7) Linux Programmer's Manual TERMIO(7)
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.)
