The cfmakeraw(), tcgetattr(), and tcsetattr() functions are
provided for
getting and setting the termios structure.
The cfgetispeed(), cfsetispeed(), cfgetospeed(),
cfsetospeed(), and
cfsetspeed() functions are provided for getting and setting
the baud rate
values in the termios structure. The effects of the functions on the
terminal as described below do not become effective, nor are
all errors
detected, until the tcsetattr() function is called. Certain
values for
baud rates set in the termios structure and passed to
tcsetattr() have
special meanings. These are discussed in the portion of the
manual page
that describes the tcsetattr() function.
GETTING AND SETTING THE BAUD RATE [Toc] [Back] The input and output baud rates are found in the termios
structure. The
unsigned integer speed_t is typedef'd in the include file
<termios.h>.
The value of the integer corresponds directly to the baud
rate being represented;
however, the following symbolic values are also
defined.
#define B0 0
#define B50 50
#define B75 75
#define B110 110
#define B134 134
#define B150 150
#define B200 200
#define B300 300
#define B600 600
#define B1200 1200
#define B1800 1800
#define B2400 2400
#define B4800 4800
#define B9600 9600
#define B19200 19200
#define B38400 38400
#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
#define EXTA 19200
#define EXTB 38400
#endif /*_POSIX_SOURCE */
The cfgetispeed() function returns the input baud rate in
the termios
structure referenced by tp.
The cfsetispeed() function sets the input baud rate in the
termios structure
referenced by tp to speed.
The cfgetospeed() function returns the output baud rate in
the termios
structure referenced by tp.
The cfsetospeed() function sets the output baud rate in the
termios
structure referenced by tp to speed.
The cfsetspeed() function sets both the input and output
baud rate in the
termios structure referenced by tp to speed.
Upon successful completion, the functions cfsetispeed(),
cfsetospeed(),
and cfsetspeed() return a value of 0. Otherwise, a value of
-1 is returned
and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.
GETTING AND SETTING THE TERMIOS STATE [Toc] [Back] This section describes the functions that are used to control the general
terminal interface. Unless otherwise noted for a specific
command, these
functions are restricted from use by background processes.
Attempts to
perform these operations shall cause the process group to be
sent a
SIGTTOU signal. If the calling process is blocking or ignoring SIGTTOU
signals, the process is allowed to perform the operation and
the SIGTTOU
signal is not sent.
In all the functions, although fd is an open file descriptor, the functions
affect the underlying terminal file, not just the open
file description
associated with the particular file descriptor.
The cfmakeraw() function sets the flags stored in the
termios structure
to a state disabling all input and output processing, giving
a ``raw I/O
path''. It should be noted that there is no function to reverse this effect.
This is because there are a variety of processing options that
could be re-enabled and the correct method is for an application to snapshot
the current terminal state using the function
tcgetattr(), setting
raw mode with cfmakeraw() and the subsequent tcsetattr(),
and then using
another tcsetattr() with the saved state to revert to the
previous terminal
state.
The tcgetattr() function copies the parameters associated
with the terminal
referenced by fd in the termios structure referenced by
tp. This
function is allowed from a background process, although the
terminal attributes
may be subsequently changed by a foreground process.
The tcsetattr() function sets the parameters associated with
the terminal
from the termios structure referenced by tp. The action
field is created
by OR'ing the following values, as specified in the include
file
<termios.h>.
TCSANOW The change occurs immediately.
TCSADRAIN The change occurs after all output written to fd
has been
transmitted to the terminal. This value of
action should be
used when changing parameters that affect output.
TCSAFLUSH The change occurs after all output written to fd
has been
transmitted to the terminal. Additionally, any
input that has
been received but not read is discarded.
TCSASOFT If this value is OR'ed into the action value, the
values of
the c_cflag, c_ispeed, and c_ospeed fields are
ignored.
The 0 baud rate is used to terminate the connection. If 0
is specified
as the output speed to the function tcsetattr(), modem control will no
longer be asserted on the terminal, disconnecting the terminal.
If zero is specified as the input speed to the function
tcsetattr(), the
input baud rate will be set to the same value as that specified by the
output baud rate.
If tcsetattr() is unable to make any of the requested
changes, it returns
-1 and sets errno. Otherwise, it makes all of the requested
changes it
can. If the specified input and output baud rates differ
and are a combination
that is not supported, neither baud rate is
changed.
Upon successful completion, the functions tcgetattr() and
tcsetattr() return
a value of 0. Otherwise, they return -1 and the global
variable
errno is set to indicate the error, as follows:
[EBADF] The fd argument to tcgetattr() or tcsetattr()
was not a
valid file descriptor.
[EINTR] The tcsetattr() function was interrupted by a
signal.
[EINVAL] The action argument to the tcsetattr() function was not
valid, or an attempt was made to change an attribute represented
in the termios structure to an unsupported value.
[ENOTTY] The file associated with the fd argument to
tcgetattr() or
tcsetattr() is not a terminal.
tcsendbreak(3), termios(4)
The cfgetispeed(), cfsetispeed(), cfgetospeed(),
cfsetospeed(),
tcgetattr(), and tcsetattr() functions are expected to be
compliant with
the IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX'') specification. The
cfmakeraw() and
cfsetspeed() functions, as well as the TCSASOFT option to
the tcsetattr()
function are extensions to the IEEE Std 1003.1-1988
(``POSIX'') specification.
