34.Sh NAME
35.Nm tcsendbreak ,
36.Nm tcdrain ,
37.Nm tcflush ,
38.Nm tcflow
39.Nd line control functions
40.Sh LIBRARY
41.Lb libc
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.In termios.h
44.Ft int
45.Fn tcdrain "int fd"
46.Ft int
47.Fn tcflow "int fd" "int action"
48.Ft int
49.Fn tcflush "int fd" "int action"
50.Ft int
51.Fn tcsendbreak "int fd" "int len"
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53The
54.Fn tcdrain
55function waits until all output written to the terminal referenced by
56.Fa fd
57has been transmitted to the terminal.
58.Pp
59The
60.Fn tcflow
61function suspends transmission of data to or the reception of data from
62the terminal referenced by
63.Fa fd
64depending on the value of
65.Fa action .
66The value of
67.Fa action
68must be one of the following:
69.Bl -tag -width ".Dv TCIOFF"
70.It Dv TCOOFF
71Suspend output.
72.It Dv TCOON
73Restart suspended output.
74.It Dv TCIOFF
75Transmit a STOP character, which is intended to cause the terminal to stop
76transmitting data to the system.
77(See the description of
78.Dv IXOFF
79in the
80.Ql Input Modes
81section of
82.Xr termios 4 ) .
83.It Dv TCION
84Transmit a START character, which is intended to cause the terminal to start
85transmitting data to the system.
86(See the description of
87.Dv IXOFF
88in the
89.Ql Input Modes
90section of
91.Xr termios 4 ) .
92.El
93.Pp
94The
95.Fn tcflush
96function discards any data written to the terminal referenced by
97.Fa fd
98which has not been transmitted to the terminal, or any data received
99from the terminal but not yet read, depending on the value of
100.Fa action .
101The value of
102.Fa action
103must be one of the following:
104.Bl -tag -width ".Dv TCIOFLUSH"
105.It Dv TCIFLUSH
106Flush data received but not read.
107.It Dv TCOFLUSH
108Flush data written but not transmitted.
109.It Dv TCIOFLUSH
110Flush both data received but not read and data written but not transmitted.
111.El
112.Pp
113The
114.Fn tcsendbreak
115function transmits a continuous stream of zero-valued bits for four-tenths
116of a second to the terminal referenced by
117.Fa fd .
118The
119.Fa len
120parameter is ignored in this implementation.
121.Sh RETURN VALUES
122Upon successful completion, all of these functions return a value of zero.
123.Sh ERRORS
124If any error occurs, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable
125.Va errno
126is set to indicate the error, as follows:
127.Bl -tag -width Er
128.It Bq Er EBADF
129The
130.Fa fd
131argument is not a valid file descriptor.
132.It Bq Er EINVAL
133The
134.Fa action
135argument is not a proper value.
136.It Bq Er ENOTTY
137The file associated with
138.Fa fd
139is not a terminal.
140.It Bq Er EINTR
141A signal interrupted the
142.Fn tcdrain
143function.

148.Sh STANDARDS
149The
150.Fn tcsendbreak ,
151.Fn tcdrain ,
152.Fn tcflush
153and
154.Fn tcflow
155functions are expected to be compliant with the
156.St -p1003.1-88
157specification.
