39.Sh NAME
40.Nm tcsendbreak ,
41.Nm tcdrain ,
42.Nm tcflush ,
43.Nm tcflow
44.Nd line control functions
45.Sh LIBRARY
46.Lb libc
47.Sh SYNOPSIS
48.In termios.h
49.Ft int
50.Fn tcdrain "int fd"
51.Ft int
52.Fn tcflow "int fd" "int action"
53.Ft int
54.Fn tcflush "int fd" "int action"
55.Ft int
56.Fn tcsendbreak "int fd" "int len"
57.Sh DESCRIPTION
58The
59.Fn tcdrain
60function waits until all output written to the terminal referenced by
61.Fa fd
62has been transmitted to the terminal.
63.Pp
64The
65.Fn tcflow
66function suspends transmission of data to or the reception of data from
67the terminal referenced by
68.Fa fd
69depending on the value of
70.Fa action .
71The value of
72.Fa action
73must be one of the following:
74.Bl -tag -width "TCIOFF"
75.It Fa TCOOFF
76Suspend output.
77.It Fa TCOON
78Restart suspended output.
79.It Fa TCIOFF
80Transmit a STOP character, which is intended to cause the terminal to stop
81transmitting data to the system.
82(See the description of IXOFF in the
83.Ql Input Modes
84section of
85.Xr termios 4 ) .
86.It Fa TCION
87Transmit a START character, which is intended to cause the terminal to start
88transmitting data to the system.
89(See the description of IXOFF in the
90.Ql Input Modes
91section of
92.Xr termios 4 ) .
93.El
94.Pp
95The
96.Fn tcflush
97function discards any data written to the terminal referenced by
98.Fa fd
99which has not been transmitted to the terminal, or any data received
100from the terminal but not yet read, depending on the value of
101.Fa action .
102The value of
103.Fa action
104must be one of the following:
105.Bl -tag -width "TCIOFLUSH"
106.It Fa TCIFLUSH
107Flush data received but not read.
108.It Fa TCOFLUSH
109Flush data written but not transmitted.
110.It Fa TCIOFLUSH
111Flush both data received but not read and data written but not transmitted.
112.El
113.Pp
114The
115.Fn tcsendbreak
116function transmits a continuous stream of zero-valued bits for four-tenths
117of a second to the terminal referenced by
118.Fa fd .
119The
120.Fa len
121parameter is ignored in this implementation.
122.Sh RETURN VALUES
123Upon successful completion, all of these functions return a value of zero.
124.Sh ERRORS
125If any error occurs, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable
126.Va errno
127is set to indicate the error, as follows:
128.Bl -tag -width Er
129.It Bq Er EBADF
130The
131.Fa fd
132argument is not a valid file descriptor.
133.It Bq Er EINVAL
134The
135.Fa action
136argument is not a proper value.
137.It Bq Er ENOTTY
138The file associated with
139.Fa fd
140is not a terminal.
141.It Bq Er EINTR
142A signal interrupted the
143.Fn tcdrain
144function.

150The
151.Fn tcsendbreak ,
152.Fn tcdrain ,
153.Fn tcflush
154and
155.Fn tcflow
156functions are expected to be compliant with the
157.St -p1003.1-88
158specification.
