Manpages - termios.h.0p

The <termios.h> header shall define the following data types 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 shall be all unsigned integer types.

The implementation shall support one or more programming environments in which the widths of cc_t, speed_t, and tcflag_t are no greater than the width of type long. The names of these programming environments can be obtained using the confstr/() function or the /getconf utility.

The <termios.h> header shall define the termios structure, which shall include 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 characters.

The <termios.h> header shall define the following symbolic constant:

NCCS

Size of the array c_cc for control characters.

The <termios.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as subscripts for the array c_cc:

The subscript values shall be suitable for use in #if preprocessing directives and shall be distinct, except that the VMIN and VTIME subscripts may have the same values as the VEOF and VEOL subscripts, respectively.

The <termios.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as flags in the c_iflag field. The c_iflag field describes the basic terminal input control.

TAB2

Horizontal-tab delay type 2.

TAB3

Expand tabs to spaces.

BSDLY

Select backspace delays:

BS0

Backspace-delay type 0.

BS1

Backspace-delay type 1.

VTDLY

Select vertical-tab delays:

VT0

Vertical-tab delay type 0.

VT1

Vertical-tab delay type 1.

FFDLY

Select form-feed delays:

FF0

Form-feed delay type 0.

FF1

The <termios.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as values of objects of type speed_t.

The input and output baud rates are stored in the termios structure. These are the valid values for objects of type speed_t. Not all baud rates need be supported by the underlying hardware.

B300

300 baud

B600

600 baud

B1200

The <termios.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as flags in the c_cflag field. 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

PARENB

Parity enable.

PARODD

The implementation shall support the functionality associated with the symbols CS7, CS8, CSTOPB, PARODD, and PARENB.

The <termios.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as flags in the c_lflag field. The c_lflag field of the argument structure is used to control various terminal functions.
