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

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