39 functions are provided for getting and setting the baud rate values in
40 the termios structure. The effects of the functions on the terminal as
41 described below do not become effective, nor are all errors detected, un-
42 til the t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br function is called. Certain values for baud rates set
43 in the termios structure and passed to t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br have special meanings.
44 These are discussed in the portion of the manual page that describes the
45 t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br function.

48 The input and output baud rates are found in the termios structure. The
49 unsigned integer speed_t is typdef'd in the include file <_\bt_\be_\br_\bm_\bi_\bo_\bs_\b._\bh>. The
50 value of the integer corresponds directly to the baud rate being repre-
51 sented, however, the following symbolic values are defined.

74 The c\bcf\bfg\bge\bet\bti\bis\bsp\bpe\bee\bed\bd function returns the input baud rate in the termios
75 structure referenced by _\bt_\bp.
76
77 The c\bcf\bfs\bse\bet\bti\bis\bsp\bpe\bee\bed\bd function sets the input baud rate in the termios struc-
78 ture referenced by _\bt_\bp to _\bs_\bp_\be_\be_\bd.
79
80 The c\bcf\bfg\bge\bet\bto\bos\bsp\bpe\bee\bed\bd function returns the output baud rate in the termios
81 structure referenced by _\bt_\bp.
82
83 The c\bcf\bfs\bse\bet\bto\bos\bsp\bpe\bee\bed\bd function sets the output baud rate in the termios struc-
84 ture referenced by _\bt_\bp to _\bs_\bp_\be_\be_\bd.
85
86 The c\bcf\bfs\bse\bet\bts\bsp\bpe\bee\bed\bd function sets both the input and output baud rate in the
87 termios structure referenced by _\bt_\bp to _\bs_\bp_\be_\be_\bd.
88
89 Upon successful completion, the functions c\bcf\bfs\bse\bet\bti\bis\bsp\bpe\bee\bed\bd, c\bcf\bfs\bse\bet\bto\bos\bsp\bpe\bee\bed\bd, and
90 c\bcf\bfs\bse\bet\bts\bsp\bpe\bee\bed\bd return a value of 0. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and
91 the global variable _\be_\br_\br_\bn_\bo is set to indicate the error.

94 This section describes the functions that are used to control the general
95 terminal interface. Unless otherwise noted for a specific command, these
96 functions are restricted from use by background processes. Attempts to
97 perform these operations shall cause the process group to be sent a SIGT-
98 TOU signal. If the calling process is blocking or ignoring SIGTTOU sig-
99 nals, the process is allowed to perform the operation and the SIGTTOU
100 signal is not sent.
101
102 In all the functions, although _\bf_\bd is an open file descriptor, the func-
103 tions affect the underlying terminal file, not just the open file de-
104 scription associated with the particular file descriptor.
105
106 The c\bcf\bfm\bma\bak\bke\ber\bra\baw\bw function sets the flags stored in the termios structure to
107 a state disabling all input and output processing, giving a ``raw I/O
108 path.'' It should be noted that there is no function to reverse this ef-
109 fect. This is because there are a variety of processing options that
110 could be re-enabled and the correct method is for an application to snap-
111 shot the current terminal state using the function t\btc\bcg\bge\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br, setting raw
112 mode with c\bcf\bfm\bma\bak\bke\ber\bra\baw\bw and the subsequent t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br, and then using another
113 t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br with the saved state to revert to the previous terminal state.
114
115 The t\btc\bcg\bge\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br function copies the parameters associated with the terminal
116 referenced by _\bf_\bd in the termios structure referenced by _\bt_\bp. This function
117 is allowed from a background process, however, the terminal attributes
118 may be subsequently changed by a foreground process.
119
120 The t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br function sets the parameters associated with the terminal
121 from the termios structure referenced by _\bt_\bp. The _\ba_\bc_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn field is created
122 by _\bo_\br'ing the following values, as specified in the include file
123 <_\bt_\be_\br_\bm_\bi_\bo_\bs_\b._\bh>.
124
125 _\bT_\bC_\bS_\bA_\bN_\bO_\bW The change occurs immediately.
126
127 _\bT_\bC_\bS_\bA_\bD_\bR_\bA_\bI_\bN The change occurs after all output written to _\bf_\bd has been
128 transmitted to the terminal. This value of _\ba_\bc_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn should be
129 used when changing parameters that affect output.
130
131 _\bT_\bC_\bS_\bA_\bF_\bL_\bU_\bS_\bH The change occurs after all output written to _\bf_\bd has been
132 transmitted to the terminal Additionally, any input that has
133 been received but not read is discarded.
134
135 _\bT_\bC_\bS_\bA_\bS_\bO_\bF_\bT If this value is _\bo_\br'ed into the _\ba_\bc_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn value, the values of
136 the _\bc_\b__\bc_\bf_\bl_\ba_\bg, _\bc_\b__\bi_\bs_\bp_\be_\be_\bd, and _\bc_\b__\bo_\bs_\bp_\be_\be_\bd fields are ignored.
137
138 The 0 baud rate is used to terminate the connection. If 0 is specified
139 as the output speed to the function t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br, modem control will no
140 longer be asserted on the terminal, disconnecting the terminal.
141
142 If zero is specified as the input speed to the function t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br, the
143 input baud rate will be set to the same value as that specified by the
144 output baud rate.
145
146 If t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br is unable able to make any of the requested changes, it re-
147 turns -1 and sets errno. Otherwise, it makes all of the requested
148 changes it can. If the specified input and output baud rates differ and
149 are a combination that is not supported, neither baud rate is changed.
150
151 Upon successful completion, the functions t\btc\bcg\bge\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br and t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br return
152 a value of 0. Otherwise, they return -1 and the global variable _\be_\br_\br_\bn_\bo is
153 set to indicate the error, as follows:
154
155 [EBADF] The _\bf_\bd argument to t\btc\bcg\bge\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br or t\btc\bcs\bse\bet\bta\bat\btt\btr\br was not a valid
156 file descriptor.
