.th STTY II 12/15/74 .sh NAME stty \*- set mode of typewriter .sh SYNOPSIS (stty = 31.) .br (file descriptor in r0) .br .ft B sys stty; arg .br .li ... .br arg: .byte ispeed, ospeed; .byte erase, kill; mode .s3 .nf stty(fildes, arg) struct { char ispeed, ospeed; char erase, kill; int mode; } *arg; .fi .ft R .s3 .sh DESCRIPTION .it Stty sets mode bits and character speeds for the typewriter whose file descriptor is passed in r0 (resp. is the first argument to the call). First, the system delays until the typewriter is quiescent. The input and output speeds are set from the first two bytes of the argument structure as indicated by the following table, which corresponds to the speeds supported by the DH-11 interface. If DC-11, DL-11 or KL-11 interfaces are used, impossible speed changes are ignored. .s3 .lp +8 4 0 (hang up dataphone) .lp +8 4 1 50 baud .lp +8 4 2 75 baud .lp +8 4 3 110 baud .lp +8 4 4 134.5 baud .lp +8 4 5 150 baud .lp +8 4 6 200 baud .lp +8 4 7 300 baud .lp +8 4 8 600 baud .lp +8 4 9 1200 baud .lp +8 4 10 1800 baud .lp +8 4 11 2400 baud .lp +8 4 12 4800 baud .lp +8 4 13 9600 baud .lp +8 4 14 External A .lp +8 4 15 External B .s3 .i0 In the current configuration, only 110, 150 and 300 baud are really supported on dial-up lines, in that the code conversion and line control required for IBM 2741's (134.5 baud) must be implemented by the user's program, and the half-duplex line discipline required for the 202 dataset (1200 baud) is not supplied. .s3 The next two characters of the argument structure specify the erase and kill characters respectively. (Defaults are # and @.) .s3 The .it mode contains several bits which determine the system's treatment of the typewriter: .s3 .lp +12 7 100000 Select one of two algorithms for backspace delays .lp +12 7 040000 Select one of two algorithms for form-feed and vertical-tab delays .lp +12 7 030000 Select one of four algorithms for carriage-return delays .lp +12 7 006000 Select one of four algorithms for tab delays .lp +12 7 001400 Select one of four algorithms for new-line delays .lp +12 7 000200 even parity allowed on input (e. g. for M37s) .lp +12 7 000100 odd parity allowed on input .lp +12 7 000040 raw mode: wake up on all characters .lp +12 7 000020 map CR into LF; echo LF or CR as CR-LF .lp +12 7 000010 echo (full duplex) .lp +12 7 000004 map upper case to lower on input (e. g. M33) .lp +12 7 000002 echo and print tabs as spaces .lp +12 7 000001 hang up (remove `data terminal ready,' lead CD) after last close .i0 .s3 The delay bits specify how long transmission stops to allow for mechanical or other movement when certain characters are sent to the terminal. In all cases a value of 0 indicates no delay. .s3 Backspace delays are currently ignored but will be used for Terminet 300's. .s3 If a form-feed/vertical tab delay is specified, it lasts for about 2 seconds. .s3 Carriage-return delay type 1 lasts about .08 seconds and is suitable for the Terminet 300. Delay type 2 lasts about .16 seconds and is suitable for the VT05 and the TI 700. Delay type 3 is unimplemented and is 0. .s3 New-line delay type 1 is dependent on the current column and is tuned for Teletype model 37's. Type 2 is useful for the VT05 and is about .10 seconds. Type 3 is unimplemented and is 0. .s3 Tab delay type 1 is dependent on the amount of movement and is tuned to the Teletype model 37. Other types are unimplemented and are 0. .s3 Characters with the wrong parity, as determined by bits 200 and 100, are ignored. .s3 In raw mode, every character is passed immediately to the program without waiting until a full line has been typed. No erase or kill processing is done; the end-of-file character (EOT), the interrupt character (DEL) and the quit character (FS) are not treated specially. .s3 Mode 020 causes input carriage returns to be turned into new-lines; input of either CR or LF causes LF-CR both to be echoed (used for GE TermiNet 300's and other terminals without the newline function). .s3 The hangup mode 01 causes the line to be disconnected when the last process with the line open closes it or terminates. It is useful when a port is to be used for some special purpose; for example, if it is associated with an ACU used to place outgoing calls. .s3 This system call is also used with certain special files other than typewriters, but since none of them are part of the standard system the specifications will not be given. .sh "SEE ALSO" stty (I), gtty (II) .sh DIAGNOSTICS The error bit (c-bit) is set if the file descriptor does not refer to a typewriter. From C, a negative value indicates an error.
