64.Sh DESCRIPTION
65The
66.Fn cfmakeraw ,
67.Fn tcgetattr
68and
69.Fn tcsetattr
70functions are provided for getting and setting the termios structure.
71.Pp
72The
73.Fn cfgetispeed ,
74.Fn cfsetispeed ,
75.Fn cfgetospeed ,
76.Fn cfsetospeed
77and
78.Fn cfsetspeed
79functions are provided for getting and setting the baud rate values in
80the termios structure.
81The effects of the functions on the terminal as described below
82do not become effective, nor are all errors detected, until the
83.Fn tcsetattr
84function is called.
85Certain values for baud rates set in the termios structure and passed to
86.Fn tcsetattr
87have special meanings.
88These are discussed in the portion of the manual page that describes the
89.Fn tcsetattr
90function.
91.Sh GETTING AND SETTING THE BAUD RATE
92The input and output baud rates are found in the termios structure.
93The unsigned integer
94.Li speed_t
95is typedef'd in the include file
96.In termios.h .
97The value of the integer corresponds directly to the baud rate being
98represented, however, the following symbolic values are defined.

127.Ed
128.Pp
129The
130.Fn cfgetispeed
131function returns the input baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
132.Fa tp .
133.Pp
134The
135.Fn cfsetispeed
136function sets the input baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
137.Fa tp
138to
139.Fa speed .
140.Pp
141The
142.Fn cfgetospeed
143function returns the output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
144.Fa tp .
145.Pp
146The
147.Fn cfsetospeed
148function sets the output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by
149.Fa tp
150to
151.Fa speed .
152.Pp
153The
154.Fn cfsetspeed
155function sets both the input and output baud rate in the termios structure
156referenced by
157.Fa tp
158to
159.Fa speed .
160.Pp
161Upon successful completion, the functions
162.Fn cfsetispeed ,
163.Fn cfsetospeed ,
164and
165.Fn cfsetspeed
166return a value of 0.
167Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable
168.Va errno
169is set to indicate the error.
170.Sh GETTING AND SETTING THE TERMIOS STATE
171This section describes the functions that are used to control the general
172terminal interface.
173Unless otherwise noted for a specific command, these functions are restricted
174from use by background processes.
175Attempts to perform these operations shall cause the process group to be sent
176a
177.Dv SIGTTOU
178signal.
179If the calling process is blocking or ignoring
180.Dv SIGTTOU
181signals, the process is allowed to perform the operation and the
182.Dv SIGTTOU
183signal is not sent.
184.Pp
185In all the functions, although
186.Fa fd
187is an open file descriptor, the functions affect the underlying terminal
188file, not just the open file description associated with the particular
189file descriptor.
190.Pp
191The
192.Fn cfmakeraw
193function sets the flags stored in the termios structure to a state disabling
194all input and output processing, giving a
195.Dq raw I/O path .
196It should be noted that there is no function to reverse this effect.
197This is because there are a variety of processing options that could be
198re-enabled and the correct method is for an application to snapshot the
199current terminal state using the function
200.Fn tcgetattr ,
201setting raw mode with
202.Fn cfmakeraw
203and the subsequent
204.Fn tcsetattr ,
205and then using another
206.Fn tcsetattr
207with the saved state to revert to the previous terminal state.
208.Pp
209The
210.Fn tcgetattr
211function copies the parameters associated with the terminal referenced
212by
213.Fa fd
214in the termios structure referenced by
215.Fa tp .
216This function is allowed from a background process, however, the terminal
217attributes may be subsequently changed by a foreground process.
218.Pp
219The
220.Fn tcsetattr
221function sets the parameters associated with the terminal from the
222termios structure referenced by
223.Fa tp .
224The
225.Fa action
226field is created by
227.Em or Ns 'ing
228the following values, as specified in the include file
229.In termios.h .
230.Bl -tag -width ".Dv TCSADRAIN"
231.It Dv TCSANOW
232The change occurs immediately.
233.It Dv TCSADRAIN
234The change occurs after all output written to
235.Fa fd
236has been transmitted to the terminal.
237This value of
238.Fa action
239should be used when changing parameters that affect output.
240.It Dv TCSAFLUSH
241The change occurs after all output written to
242.Fa fd
243has been transmitted to the terminal.
244Additionally, any input that has been received but not read is discarded.
245.It Dv TCSASOFT
246If this value is
247.Em or Ns 'ed
248into the
249.Fa action
250value, the values of the
251.Em c_cflag ,
252.Em c_ispeed ,
253and
254.Em c_ospeed
255fields are ignored.
256.El
257.Pp
258The 0 baud rate is used to terminate the connection.
259If 0 is specified as the output speed to the function
260.Fn tcsetattr ,
261modem control will no longer be asserted on the terminal, disconnecting
262the terminal.
263.Pp
264If zero is specified as the input speed to the function
265.Fn tcsetattr ,
266the input baud rate will be set to the same value as that specified by
267the output baud rate.
268.Pp
269If
270.Fn tcsetattr
271is unable to make any of the requested changes, it returns -1 and
272sets
273.Va errno .
274Otherwise, it makes all of the requested changes it can.
275If the specified input and output baud rates differ and are a combination
276that is not supported, neither baud rate is changed.
277.Pp
278Upon successful completion, the functions
279.Fn tcgetattr
280and
281.Fn tcsetattr
282return a value of 0.
283Otherwise, they
284return -1 and the global variable
285.Va errno
286is set to indicate the error, as follows:
287.Bl -tag -width Er
288.It Bq Er EBADF
289The
290.Fa fd
291argument to
292.Fn tcgetattr
293or
294.Fn tcsetattr
295was not a valid file descriptor.
296.It Bq Er EINTR
297The
298.Fn tcsetattr
299function was interrupted by a signal.
300.It Bq Er EINVAL
301The
302.Fa action
303argument to the
304.Fn tcsetattr
305function was not valid, or an attempt was made to change an attribute
306represented in the termios structure to an unsupported value.
307.It Bq Er ENOTTY
308The file associated with the
309.Fa fd
310argument to
311.Fn tcgetattr
312or
313.Fn tcsetattr
314is not a terminal.
