NAME cfgetispeed, cfsetispeed, cfgetospeed, cfsetospeed, cfsetspeed, cfmakeraw, cfmakesane, tcgetattr, tcsetattr - manipulating the termios structure
LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS #include <termios.h>
speed_t cfgetispeed(const struct termios *t);
int cfsetispeed(struct termios *t, speed_t speed);
speed_t cfgetospeed(const struct termios *t);
int cfsetospeed(struct termios *t, speed_t speed);
int cfsetspeed(struct termios *t, speed_t speed);
void cfmakeraw(struct termios *t);
void cfmakesane(struct termios *t);
int tcgetattr(int fd, struct termios *t);
int tcsetattr(int fd, int action, const struct termios *t);
DESCRIPTION The cfmakeraw(), cfmakesane(), tcgetattr() and tcsetattr() functions are provided for getting and setting the termios structure.
The cfgetispeed(), cfsetispeed(), cfgetospeed(), cfsetospeed() and cfsetspeed() functions are provided for getting and setting the baud rate values in the termios structure. The effects of the functions on the terminal as described below do not become effective, nor are all errors detected, until the tcsetattr() function is called. Certain values for baud rates set in the termios structure and passed to tcsetattr() have special meanings. These are discussed in the portion of the manual page that describes the tcsetattr() function.
GETTING AND SETTING THE BAUD RATE The input and output baud rates are found in the termios structure. The unsigned integer speed_t is typedef'd in the include file <termios.h>. The value of the integer corresponds directly to the baud rate being represented, however, the following symbolic values are defined.
#define B300 300 #define B600 600 #define B1200 1200 #define B1800 1800 #define B2400 2400 #define B4800 4800 #define B9600 9600 #define B19200 19200 #define B38400 38400 #ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE #define EXTA 19200 #define EXTB 38400 #endif /*_POSIX_SOURCE */
The cfgetispeed() function returns the input baud rate in the termios structure referenced by t.
The cfsetispeed() function sets the input baud rate in the termios structure referenced by t to speed.
The cfgetospeed() function returns the output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by t.
The cfsetospeed() function sets the output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by t to speed.
The cfsetspeed() function sets both the input and output baud rate in the termios structure referenced by t to speed.
Upon successful completion, the functions cfsetispeed(), cfsetospeed(), and cfsetspeed() return a value of 0. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
GETTING AND SETTING THE TERMIOS STATE This section describes the functions that are used to control the general terminal interface. Unless otherwise noted for a specific command, these functions are restricted from use by background processes. Attempts to perform these operations shall cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal. If the calling process is blocking or ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process is allowed to perform the operation and the SIGTTOU signal is not sent.
In all the functions, although fd is an open file descriptor, the functions affect the underlying terminal file, not just the open file description associated with the particular file descriptor.
The cfmakeraw() function sets the flags stored in the termios structure to a state disabling all input and output processing, giving a "raw I/O path", while the cfmakesane() function sets them to a state similar to those of a newly created terminal device. It should be noted that there is no function to reverse this effect. This is because there are a variety of processing options that could be re-enabled and the correct method is for an application to snapshot the current terminal state using the function tcgetattr(), setting raw or sane mode with cfmakeraw() or cfmakesane() and the subsequent tcsetattr(), and then using another tcsetattr() with the saved state to revert to the previous terminal state.
The tcgetattr() function copies the parameters associated with the
TCSANOW The change occurs immediately.
TCSADRAIN The change occurs after all output written to fd has been transmitted to the terminal. This value of action should be used when changing parameters that affect output.
TCSAFLUSH The change occurs after all output written to fd has been transmitted to the terminal. Additionally, any input that has been received but not read is discarded.
The action may be modified by or'ing in TCSASOFT which causes the values of the c_cflag, c_ispeed, and c_ospeed fields to be ignored.
The 0 baud rate is used to terminate the connection. If 0 is specified as the output speed to the function tcsetattr(), modem control will no longer be asserted on the terminal, disconnecting the terminal.
If zero is specified as the input speed to the function tcsetattr(), the input baud rate will be set to the same value as that specified by the output baud rate.
If tcsetattr() is unable to make any of the requested changes, it returns -1 and sets errno. Otherwise, it makes all of the requested changes it can. If the specified input and output baud rates differ and are a combination that is not supported, neither baud rate is changed.
Upon successful completion, the functions tcgetattr() and tcsetattr() return a value of 0. Otherwise, they return -1 and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error, as follows:
[EBADF] The fd argument to tcgetattr() or tcsetattr() was not a valid file descriptor.
[EINTR] The tcsetattr() function was interrupted by a signal.
[EINVAL] The action argument to the tcsetattr() function was not valid, or an attempt was made to change an attribute represented in the termios structure to an unsupported value.
[ENOTTY] The file associated with the fd argument to tcgetattr() or tcsetattr() is not a terminal.

STANDARDS The cfgetispeed(), cfsetispeed(), cfgetospeed(), cfsetospeed(), tcgetattr() and tcsetattr() functions are expected to be compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 ("POSIX.1") specification. The cfmakeraw(), cfmakesane() and cfsetspeed() functions, as well as the TCSASOFT option to the tcsetattr() function are extensions to the IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 ("POSIX.1") specification.
