.TH STTY 2 
.SH NAME
stty, gtty \- set and retrieve terminal modes
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <sgtty.h>
.PP
.B stty(fildes, arg)
.br
.B struct sgttyb *arg;
.PP
.B gtty(fildes, arg)

.B struct sgttyb *arg;
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Gtty
stores in the structure pointed to by 
.I arg
status information about the terminal
whose file descriptor is in r0 (in the first argument).
.PP
.I Stty
delays until the terminal is quiescent,
then sets its status to agree with the structure
pointed to by
.IR arg .
.PP
The input and output speeds are set from the first two bytes
Both system calls use the structure
defined in <sgtty.h>:
.PP
.nf
struct sgttyb {
	char	sg_ispeed;
	char	sg_ospeed;
	char	sg_erase;
	char	sg_kill;
	int	sg_flags;
};
.fi
.PP
The
.I sg_ispeed 
and 
.I sg_ospeed
fields describe the input and output speeds of the
device according to the following table,
which corresponds to the DH-11 interface.
If DC-11, DL-11 or KL-11 interfaces are used,
impossible speed changes are ignored.
Symbolic values in the table are as defined in
.IR <sgtty.h> .

.PP
In the current configuration,
only 110, 150, 300 and 1200 baud are really supported on dial-up lines.
Code conversion and line control required for
IBM 2741's (134.5 baud)
must be implemented by the user's
program.
The half-duplex line discipline
required for the 202 dataset (1200 baud)
is not supplied; full-duplex 212 datasets work fine.
.PP
The
.I sg_erase
and
.I sg_kill
fields of the argument structure
specify the erase and kill characters respectively.
(Defaults are # and @.)
.PP
The
.I sg_flags
field of the argument structure
contains several bits which determine the
system's treatment of the terminal:

.PP
The delay bits specify how long
transmission stops to allow for mechanical or other movement
when certain characters are sent to the terminal.
In all cases a value of 0 indicates no delay.
.PP
Backspace delays are currently ignored but will
be used for Terminet 300's.
.PP
If a form-feed/vertical tab delay is specified,
it lasts for about 2 seconds.
.PP
Carriage-return delay type 1 lasts about .08 seconds
and is suitable for the Terminet 300.
Delay type 2 lasts about .16 seconds and is suitable
for the VT05 and the TI 700.
Delay type 3 is unimplemented and is 0.
.PP
New-line delay type 1 is dependent on the current column
and is tuned for Teletype model 37's.
Type 2 is useful for the VT05 and is about .10 seconds.
Type 3 is unimplemented and is 0.
.PP
Tab delay type 1 is dependent on the amount of movement
and is tuned to the Teletype model
37.
Other types are unimplemented and are 0.
.PP
Characters with the wrong parity, as determined by bits 200 and
100, are ignored.
.PP
In raw mode, every character is passed immediately
to the program without waiting until a full line has been typed.
No erase or kill processing is done;
the end-of-file character (EOT), the interrupt character
(DEL) and the quit character (FS) are not treated specially.
.PP
Mode 020 causes input carriage returns to be turned into
new-lines;
input of either CR or LF causes LF-CR both to
be echoed
(used for GE TermiNet 300's and other terminals without the newline function).
.PP
The hangup mode 01
causes the line to be disconnected
when the last process with the line open closes it or terminates.
It is useful when a port is to be used for some special
purpose;
for example, if it is associated
with an ACU used to place outgoing calls.
.PP
This system call is also used with certain special
files other than terminals,
but since none of them are part of the standard system
the specifications will not be given.

stty(1), tty(4)
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
Zero is returned if the call was successful;
\-1 if the file descriptor does not refer to a terminal.
