34.Sh NAME
35.Nm tcsendbreak ,
36.Nm tcdrain ,
37.Nm tcflush ,
38.Nm tcflow
39.Nd line control functions
40.Sh LIBRARY
41.Lb libc
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.In termios.h
44.Ft int
45.Fn tcdrain "int fd"
46.Ft int
47.Fn tcflow "int fd" "int action"
48.Ft int
49.Fn tcflush "int fd" "int action"
50.Ft int
51.Fn tcsendbreak "int fd" "int len"
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53The
54.Fn tcdrain
55function waits until all output written to the terminal referenced by
56.Fa fd
57has been transmitted to the terminal.
58.Pp
59The
60.Fn tcflow
61function suspends transmission of data to or the reception of data from
62the terminal referenced by
63.Fa fd
64depending on the value of
65.Fa action .
66The value of
67.Fa action
68must be one of the following:
69.Bl -tag -width "TCIOFF"
70.It Fa TCOOFF
71Suspend output.
72.It Fa TCOON
73Restart suspended output.
74.It Fa TCIOFF
75Transmit a STOP character, which is intended to cause the terminal to stop
76transmitting data to the system.
77(See the description of IXOFF in the
78.Ql Input Modes
79section of
80.Xr termios 4 ) .
81.It Fa TCION
82Transmit a START character, which is intended to cause the terminal to start
83transmitting data to the system.
84(See the description of IXOFF in the
85.Ql Input Modes
86section of
87.Xr termios 4 ) .
88.El
89.Pp
90The
91.Fn tcflush
92function discards any data written to the terminal referenced by
93.Fa fd
94which has not been transmitted to the terminal, or any data received
95from the terminal but not yet read, depending on the value of
96.Fa action .
97The value of
98.Fa action
99must be one of the following:
100.Bl -tag -width "TCIOFLUSH"
101.It Fa TCIFLUSH
102Flush data received but not read.
103.It Fa TCOFLUSH
104Flush data written but not transmitted.
105.It Fa TCIOFLUSH
106Flush both data received but not read and data written but not transmitted.
107.El
108.Pp
109The
110.Fn tcsendbreak
111function transmits a continuous stream of zero-valued bits for four-tenths
112of a second to the terminal referenced by
113.Fa fd .
114The
115.Fa len
116argument is ignored in this implementation.
117.Sh RETURN VALUES
118Upon successful completion, all of these functions return a value of zero.
119.Sh ERRORS
120If any error occurs, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable
121.Va errno
122is set to indicate the error, as follows:
123.Bl -tag -width Er
124.It Bq Er EBADF
125The
126.Fa fd
127argument is not a valid file descriptor.
128.It Bq Er EINVAL
129The
130.Fa action
131argument is not a proper value.
132.It Bq Er ENOTTY
133The file associated with
134.Fa fd
135is not a terminal.
136.It Bq Er EINTR
137A signal interrupted the
138.Fn tcdrain
139function.

145The
146.Fn tcsendbreak ,
147.Fn tcdrain ,
148.Fn tcflush
149and
150.Fn tcflow
151functions are expected to be compliant with the
152.St -p1003.1-88
153specification.
