STTY(3C) STTY(3C) NAME stty, gtty - set and get terminal state (defunct) SYNOPSIS #include <sgtty.h> stty(fd, buf) int fd; struct sgttyb *buf; gtty(fd, buf) int fd; struct sgttyb *buf; DESCRIPTION This interface is obsoleted by ioctl(2). Stty sets the state of the terminal associated with fd. Gtty retrieves the state of the terminal associated with fd. To set the state of a terminal the call must have write permission. The stty call is actually ‘‘ioctl(fd, TIOCSETP, buf)’’, while the gtty call is ‘‘ioctl(fd, TIOCGETP, buf)’’. See ioctl(2) and tty(4) for an explanation. DIAGNOSTICS If the call is successful 0 is returned, otherwise -1 is returned and the global variable errno contains the reason for the failure.
