37.Os
38.Sh NAME
39.Nm tcsendbreak ,
40.Nm tcdrain ,
41.Nm tcflush ,
42.Nm tcflow
43.Nd line control functions
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Fd #include <termios.h>
46.Ft int
47.Fn tcdrain "int fd"
48.Ft int
49.Fn tcflow "int fd" "int action"
50.Ft int
51.Fn tcflush "int fd" "int action"
52.Ft int
53.Fn tcsendbreak "int fd" "int len"
54.Sh DESCRIPTION
55The
56.Fn tcdrain
57function waits until all output written to the terminal referenced by
58.Fa fd
59has been transmitted to the terminal.
60.Pp
61The
62.Fn tcflow
63function suspends transmission of data to or the reception of data from
64the terminal referenced by
65.Fa fd
66depending on the value of
67.Fa action .
68The value of
69.Fa action
70must be one of the following:
71.Bl -tag -width "TCIOFF"
72.It Fa TCOOFF
73Suspend output.
74.It Fa TCOON
75Restart suspended output.
76.It Fa TCIOFF
77Transmit a STOP character, which is intended to cause the terminal to stop
78transmitting data to the system.
79(See the description of IXOFF in the
80.Ql Input Modes
81section of
82.Xr termios 4 ).
83.It Fa TCION
84Transmit a START character, which is intended to cause the terminal to start
85transmitting data to the system.
86(See the description of IXOFF in the
87.Ql Input Modes
88section of
89.Xr termios 4 ).
90.El
91.Pp
92The
93.Fn tcflush
94function discards any data written to the terminal referenced by
95.Fa fd
96which has not been transmitted to the terminal, or any data received
97from the terminal but not yet read, depending on the value of
98.Fa action .
99The value of
100.Fa action
101must be one of the following:
102.Bl -tag -width "TCIOFLUSH"
103.It Fa TCIFLUSH
104Flush data received but not read.
105.It Fa TCOFLUSH
106Flush data written but not transmitted.
107.It Fa TCIOFLUSH
108Flush both data received but not read and data written but not transmitted.
109.El
110.Pp
111The
112.Fn tcsendbreak
113function transmits a continuous stream of zero-valued bits for four-tenths
114of a second to the terminal referenced by
115.Fa fd .
116The
117.Fa len
118parameter is ignored in this implementation.
119.Sh RETURN VALUES
120Upon successful completion, all of these functions return a value of zero.
121.Sh ERRORS
122If any error occurs, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable
123.Va errno
124is set to indicate the error, as follows:
125.Bl -tag -width Er
126.It Bq Er EBADF
127The
128.Fa fd
129argument is not a valid file descriptor.
130.It Bq Er EINVAL
131The
132.Fa action
133argument is not a proper value.
134.It Bq Er ENOTTY
135The file associated with
136.Fa fd
137is not a terminal.
138.It Bq Er EINTR
139A signal interrupted the
140.Fn tcdrain
141function.

146.Sh STANDARDS
147The
148.Fn tcsendbreak ,
149.Fn tcdrain ,
150.Fn tcflush
151and
152.Fn tcflow
153functions are expected to be compliant with the
154.St -p1003.1-88
155specification.
