| 3 | .SH NAME | |
| 4 | stty, gtty \- set and get terminal state (defunct) | |
| 5 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 6 | .nf | |
| 7 | .B #include <sgtty.h> | |
| 8 | .sp | |
| 9 | .B stty(fd, buf) | |
| 10 | .B int fd; | |
| 11 | .B struct sgttyb *buf; | |
| 12 | .sp | |
| 13 | .B gtty(fd, buf) | |
| 14 | .B int fd; | |
| 15 | .B struct sgttyb *buf; | |

| 17 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 18 | .ft B | |
| 19 | This interface is obsoleted by ioctl(2). | |
| 20 | .ft R | |
| 21 | .PP | |
| 22 | .I Stty | |
| 23 | sets the state of the terminal associated with | |
| 24 | .IR fd . | |
| 25 | .I Gtty | |
| 26 | retrieves the state of the terminal associated | |
| 27 | with | |
| 28 | .IR fd . | |
| 29 | To set the state of a terminal the call must have | |
| 30 | write permission. | |
| 31 | .PP | |
| 32 | The | |
| 33 | .I stty | |
| 34 | call is actually ``ioctl(fd, TIOCSETP, buf)'', while | |
| 35 | the | |
| 36 | .I gtty | |
| 37 | call is ``ioctl(fd, TIOCGETP, buf)''. | |
| 38 | See | |
| 39 | .IR ioctl (2) | |
| 40 | and | |
| 41 | .IR tty (4) | |
| 42 | for an explanation. | |
| 43 | .SH DIAGNOSTICS | |
| 44 | If the call is successful 0 is returned, otherwise \-1 is | |
| 45 | returned and the global variable | |
| 46 | .I errno | |
| 47 | contains the reason for the failure. | |
