67.Sh DESCRIPTION
68The
69.Fn cfmakeraw ,
70.Fn cfmakesane ,
71.Fn tcgetattr
72and
73.Fn tcsetattr
74functions are provided for getting and setting the termios structure.
75.Pp
76The
77.Fn cfgetispeed ,
78.Fn cfsetispeed ,
79.Fn cfgetospeed ,
80.Fn cfsetospeed
81and
82.Fn cfsetspeed
83functions are provided for getting and setting the baud rate values in
84the termios structure.
85The effects of the functions on the terminal as described below
86do not become effective, nor are all errors detected, until the
87.Fn tcsetattr
88function is called.
89Certain values for baud rates set in the termios structure and passed to
90.Fn tcsetattr
91have special meanings.
92These are discussed in the portion of the manual page that describes the
93.Fn tcsetattr
94function.
95.Sh GETTING AND SETTING THE BAUD RATE
96The input and output baud rates are found in the termios structure.
97The unsigned integer
98.Li speed_t
99is typedef'd in the include file
100.In termios.h .
101The value of the integer corresponds directly to the baud rate being
102represented, however, the following symbolic values are defined.
103.Bd -literal
104#define B0	0
105#define B50	50
106#define B75	75
107#define B110	110
108#define B134	134
109#define B150	150
110#define B200	200
111#define B300	300

124.Ed
125.Pp
126The
127.Fn cfgetispeed
128function returns the input baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
129.Fa t .
130.Pp
131The
132.Fn cfsetispeed
133function sets the input baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
134.Fa t
135to
136.Fa speed .
137.Pp
138The
139.Fn cfgetospeed
140function returns the output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
141.Fa t .
142.Pp
143The
144.Fn cfsetospeed
145function sets the output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
146.Fa t
147to
148.Fa speed .
149.Pp
150The
151.Fn cfsetspeed
152function sets both the input and output baud rate in the termios structure
153referenced by
154.Fa t
155to
156.Fa speed .
157.Pp
158Upon successful completion, the functions
159.Fn cfsetispeed ,
160.Fn cfsetospeed ,
161and
162.Fn cfsetspeed
163return a value of 0.
164Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable
165.Va errno
166is set to indicate the error.
167.Sh GETTING AND SETTING THE TERMIOS STATE
168This section describes the functions that are used to control the general
169terminal interface.
170Unless otherwise noted for a specific command, these functions are restricted
171from use by background processes.
172Attempts to perform these operations shall cause the process group to be sent
173a SIGTTOU signal.
174If the calling process is blocking or ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process
175is allowed to perform the operation and the SIGTTOU signal is not sent.
176.Pp
177In all the functions, although
178.Fa fd
179is an open file descriptor, the functions affect the underlying terminal
180file, not just the open file description associated with the particular
181file descriptor.
182.Pp
183The
184.Fn cfmakeraw
185function sets the flags stored in the termios structure to a state disabling
186all input and output processing, giving a
187.Dq raw I/O path ,
188while the
189.Fn cfmakesane
190function sets them to a state similar to those of a newly created
191terminal device.
192It should be noted that there is no function to reverse this effect.
193This is because there are a variety of processing options that could be
194re-enabled and the correct method is for an application to snapshot the
195current terminal state using the function
196.Fn tcgetattr ,
197setting raw or sane mode with
198.Fn cfmakeraw
199or
200.Fn cfmakesane
201and the subsequent
202.Fn tcsetattr ,
203and then using another
204.Fn tcsetattr
205with the saved state to revert to the previous terminal state.
206.Pp
207The
208.Fn tcgetattr
209function copies the parameters associated with the terminal referenced
210by
211.Fa fd
212in the termios structure referenced by
213.Fa t .
214This function is allowed from a background process, however, the terminal
215attributes may be subsequently changed by a foreground process.
216.Pp
217The
218.Fn tcsetattr
219function sets the parameters associated with the terminal from the
220termios structure referenced by
221.Fa t .
222The
223.Fa action
224argument is one of
225the following values, as specified in the include file
226.In termios.h .
227.Bl -tag -width "TCSADRAIN"
228.It Fa TCSANOW
229The change occurs immediately.
230.It Fa TCSADRAIN
231The change occurs after all output written to
232.Fa fd
233has been transmitted to the terminal.
234This value of
235.Fa action
236should be used when changing parameters that affect output.
237.It Fa TCSAFLUSH
238The change occurs after all output written to
239.Fa fd
240has been transmitted to the terminal.
241Additionally, any input that has been received but not read is discarded.
242.El
243.Pp
244The
245.Fa action
246may be modified by
247.Em or Ns 'ing
248in
249.Fa TCSASOFT
250which causes the values of the
251.Va c_cflag ,
252.Va c_ispeed ,
253and
254.Va c_ospeed
255fields to be ignored.
256.Pp
257The 0 baud rate is used to terminate the connection.
258If 0 is specified as the output speed to the function
259.Fn tcsetattr ,
260modem control will no longer be asserted on the terminal, disconnecting
261the terminal.
262.Pp
263If zero is specified as the input speed to the function
264.Fn tcsetattr ,
265the input baud rate will be set to the same value as that specified by
266the output baud rate.
267.Pp
268If
269.Fn tcsetattr
270is unable to make any of the requested changes, it returns -1 and
271sets errno.
272Otherwise, it makes all of the requested changes it can.
273If the specified input and output baud rates differ and are a combination
274that is not supported, neither baud rate is changed.
275.Pp
276Upon successful completion, the functions
277.Fn tcgetattr
278and
279.Fn tcsetattr
280return a value of 0.
281Otherwise, they
282return -1 and the global variable
283.Va errno
284is set to indicate the error, as follows:
285.Bl -tag -width Er
286.It Bq Er EBADF
287The
288.Fa fd
289argument to
290.Fn tcgetattr
291or
292.Fn tcsetattr
293was not a valid file descriptor.
294.It Bq Er EINTR
295The
296.Fn tcsetattr
297function was interrupted by a signal.
298.It Bq Er EINVAL
299The
300.Fa action
301argument to the
302.Fn tcsetattr
303function was not valid, or an attempt was made to change an attribute
304represented in the termios structure to an unsupported value.
305.It Bq Er ENOTTY
306The file associated with the
307.Fa fd
308argument to
309.Fn tcgetattr
310or
311.Fn tcsetattr
312is not a terminal.
