.UC 4
.SH NAME
stty \- set terminal options
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B stty
[ option ... ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Stty
sets certain I/O options on the current output terminal,
placing its output on the diagnostic output.
With no argument, it reports the speed of the terminal and the
settings of the options which are different from their defaults.
With the argument ``all'', all normally used option settings are reported.
With the argument ``everything'', everything
.I stty
knows about is printed.
The option strings are
selected from the following set:
