SYNOPSIS 

#include <termios.h>

 DESCRIPTION

The <termios.h> header contains the definitions used by the terminal I/O interfaces (see the XBD specification, General Terminal Interface  for the structures and names defined).
 The termios Structure
The following data types are defined through typedef:
cc_t
Used for terminal special characters.
speed_t
Used for terminal baud rates.
tcflag_t
Used for terminal modes.

The above types are all unsigned integral types.

The termios structure is defined, and includes at least the following members: 


tcflag_t  c_iflag     input modes
tcflag_t  c_oflag     output modes
tcflag_t  c_cflag     control modes
tcflag_t  c_lflag     local modes
cc_t      c_cc[NCCS]  control chars

A definition is given for:

NCCS
Size of the array c_cc for control characters.

The following subscript names for the array c_cc are defined:

Subscript Usage  
Canonical Mode Non-canonical Mode Description
VEOF   EOF character
VEOL   EOL character
VERASE   ERASE character
VINTR VINTR INTR character
VKILL   KILL character
  VMIN MIN value
VQUIT VQUIT QUIT character
VSTART VSTART START character
VSTOP VSTOP STOP character
VSUSP VSUSP SUSP character
VTIME TIME value
The subscript values are unique, except that the VMIN and VTIME subscripts may have the same values as the VEOF and VEOL subscripts, respectively.

 Input Modes
The c_iflag field describes the basic terminal input control:

 Baud Rate Selection
The input and output baud rates are stored in the termios structure. These are the valid values for objects of type speed_t. The following values are defined, but not all baud rates need be supported by the underlying hardware.
B0

50 baud
B75
75 baud
B110
110 baud
B134
134.5 baud
B150
150 baud
B200
200 baud
B300
300 baud
B600
600 baud
B1200
1200 baud
B1800
1800 baud
B2400
2400 baud
B4800
4800 baud
B9600
9600 baud
B19200
19200 baud
B38400
38400 baud
 Control Modes
The c_cflag field describes the hardware control of the terminal; not all values specified are required to be supported by the underlying hardware:
CSIZE
Character size:
CS5
5 bits.
CS6
6 bits.
CS7
7 bits.
CS8
8 bits.

PARODD
Odd parity, else even.

 

HUPCL
Hang up on last close.

 

CLOCAL
Ignore modem status lines.

 

 Local Modes
The c_lflag field of the argument structure is used to control various terminal functions:
ECHO
Enable echo.
ECHOE
