64.Sh DESCRIPTION
65The
66.Fn cfmakeraw ,
67.Fn tcgetattr
68and
69.Fn tcsetattr
70functions are provided for getting and setting the termios structure.
71.Pp
72The
73.Fn cfgetispeed ,
74.Fn cfsetispeed ,
75.Fn cfgetospeed ,
76.Fn cfsetospeed
77and
78.Fn cfsetspeed
79functions are provided for getting and setting the baud rate values in
80the termios structure.
81The effects of the functions on the terminal as described below
82do not become effective, nor are all errors detected, until the
83.Fn tcsetattr
84function is called.
85Certain values for baud rates set in the termios structure and passed to
86.Fn tcsetattr
87have special meanings.
88These are discussed in the portion of the manual page that describes the
89.Fn tcsetattr
90function.
91.Sh GETTING AND SETTING THE BAUD RATE
92The input and output baud rates are found in the termios structure.
93The unsigned integer
94.Li speed_t
95is typedef'd in the include file
96.In termios.h .
97The value of the integer corresponds directly to the baud rate being
98represented, however, the following symbolic values are defined.
99.Bd -literal
100#define B0	0
101#define B50	50
102#define B75	75

120.Ed
121.Pp
122The
123.Fn cfgetispeed
124function returns the input baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
125.Fa tp .
126.Pp
127The
128.Fn cfsetispeed
129function sets the input baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
130.Fa tp
131to
132.Fa speed .
133.Pp
134The
135.Fn cfgetospeed
136function returns the output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
137.Fa tp .
138.Pp
139The
140.Fn cfsetospeed
141function sets the output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
142.Fa tp
143to
144.Fa speed .
145.Pp
146The
147.Fn cfsetspeed
148function sets both the input and output baud rate in the termios structure
149referenced by
150.Fa tp
151to
152.Fa speed .
153.Pp
154Upon successful completion, the functions
155.Fn cfsetispeed ,
156.Fn cfsetospeed ,
157and
158.Fn cfsetspeed
159return a value of 0.
160Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable
161.Va errno
162is set to indicate the error.
163.Sh GETTING AND SETTING THE TERMIOS STATE
164This section describes the functions that are used to control the general
165terminal interface.
166Unless otherwise noted for a specific command, these functions are restricted
167from use by background processes.
168Attempts to perform these operations shall cause the process group to be sent
169a SIGTTOU signal.
170If the calling process is blocking or ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process
171is allowed to perform the operation and the SIGTTOU signal is not sent.
172.Pp
173In all the functions, although
174.Fa fd
175is an open file descriptor, the functions affect the underlying terminal
176file, not just the open file description associated with the particular
177file descriptor.
178.Pp
179The
180.Fn cfmakeraw
181function sets the flags stored in the termios structure to a state disabling
182all input and output processing, giving a
183.Dq raw I/O path .
184It should be noted that there is no function to reverse this effect.
185This is because there are a variety of processing options that could be
186re-enabled and the correct method is for an application to snapshot the
187current terminal state using the function
188.Fn tcgetattr ,
189setting raw mode with
190.Fn cfmakeraw
191and the subsequent
192.Fn tcsetattr ,
193and then using another
194.Fn tcsetattr
195with the saved state to revert to the previous terminal state.
196.Pp
197The
198.Fn tcgetattr
199function copies the parameters associated with the terminal referenced
200by
201.Fa fd
202in the termios structure referenced by
203.Fa tp .
204This function is allowed from a background process, however, the terminal
205attributes may be subsequently changed by a foreground process.
206.Pp
207The
208.Fn tcsetattr
209function sets the parameters associated with the terminal from the
210termios structure referenced by
211.Fa tp .
212The
213.Fa action
214argument is created by
215.Em or Ns 'ing
216the following values, as specified in the include file
217.In termios.h .
218.Bl -tag -width "TCSADRAIN"
219.It Fa TCSANOW
220The change occurs immediately.
221.It Fa TCSADRAIN
222The change occurs after all output written to
223.Fa fd
224has been transmitted to the terminal.
225This value of
226.Fa action
227should be used when changing parameters that affect output.
228.It Fa TCSAFLUSH
229The change occurs after all output written to
230.Fa fd
231has been transmitted to the terminal.
232Additionally, any input that has been received but not read is discarded.
233.It Fa TCSASOFT
234If this value is
235.Em or Ns 'ed
236into the
237.Fa action
238value, the values of the
239.Va c_cflag ,
240.Va c_ispeed ,
241and
242.Va c_ospeed
243fields are ignored.
244.El
245.Pp
246The 0 baud rate is used to terminate the connection.
247If 0 is specified as the output speed to the function
248.Fn tcsetattr ,
249modem control will no longer be asserted on the terminal, disconnecting
250the terminal.
251.Pp
252If zero is specified as the input speed to the function
253.Fn tcsetattr ,
254the input baud rate will be set to the same value as that specified by
255the output baud rate.
256.Pp
257If
258.Fn tcsetattr
259is unable to make any of the requested changes, it returns -1 and
260sets errno.
261Otherwise, it makes all of the requested changes it can.
262If the specified input and output baud rates differ and are a combination
263that is not supported, neither baud rate is changed.
264.Pp
265Upon successful completion, the functions
266.Fn tcgetattr
267and
268.Fn tcsetattr
269return a value of 0.
270Otherwise, they
271return -1 and the global variable
272.Va errno
273is set to indicate the error, as follows:
274.Bl -tag -width Er
275.It Bq Er EBADF
276The
277.Fa fd
278argument to
279.Fn tcgetattr
280or
281.Fn tcsetattr
282was not a valid file descriptor.
283.It Bq Er EINTR
284The
285.Fn tcsetattr
286function was interrupted by a signal.
287.It Bq Er EINVAL
288The
289.Fa action
290argument to the
291.Fn tcsetattr
292function was not valid, or an attempt was made to change an attribute
293represented in the termios structure to an unsupported value.
294.It Bq Er ENOTTY
295The file associated with the
296.Fa fd
297argument to
298.Fn tcgetattr
299or
300.Fn tcsetattr
301is not a terminal.
