NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     stty, gtty - set and get terminal state (defunct)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <sgtty.h>

     stty(int fd, struct sgttyb *buf);

     gtty(int fd, struct sgttyb *buf);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     These  interfaces  are  obsoleted  by  ioctl(2).   They  are
available from the
     compatibility library, libcompat.

     The stty() function sets the state of the terminal associated with fd.
     The gtty() function retrieves the state of the terminal  associated with
     fd.  To set the state of a terminal the call must have write
permission.

     The stty() call  is  actually  `ioctl(fd,  TIOCSETP,  buf)',
while the gtty()
     call is `ioctl(fd, TIOCGETP, buf)'.  See ioctl(2) and tty(4)
for an explanation.

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     If the call is successful 0 is returned, otherwise -1 is returned and the
     global variable errno contains the reason for the failure.
