TCSETS(2const) TCSETS(2const) NAME TCGETS, TCSETS, TCSETSW, TCSETSF, TCGETS2, TCSETS2, TCSETSW2, TCSETSF2, TCGETA, TCSETA, TCSETAW, TCSETAF - get and set terminal attributes LIBRARY Standard C library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include /* Definition of TC* constants */ #include int ioctl(int fd, TCGETS, struct termios *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCSETS, const struct termios *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCSETSW, const struct termios *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCSETSF, const struct termios *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCGETS2, struct termios2 *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCSETS2, const struct termios2 *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCSETSW2, const struct termios2 *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCSETSF2, const struct termios2 *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCGETA, struct termio *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCSETA, const struct termio *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCSETAW, const struct termio *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TCSETAF, const struct termio *argp); #include struct termios; struct termios2; struct termio; DESCRIPTION TCGETS Equivalent to tcgetattr(fd, argp). Get the current serial port settings. TCSETS Equivalent to tcsetattr(fd, TCSANOW, argp). Set the current serial port settings. TCSETSW Equivalent to tcsetattr(fd, TCSADRAIN, argp). Allow the output buffer to drain, and set the current serial port settings. TCSETSF Equivalent to tcsetattr(fd, TCSAFLUSH, argp). Allow the output buffer to drain, discard pending input, and set the current serial port settings. The following four ioctls are just like TCGETS, TCSETS, TCSETSW, TCSETSF, except that they take a struct termios2 * instead of a struct termios *. If the structure member c_cflag contains the flag BOTHER, then the baud rate is stored in the structure members c_ispeed and c_ospeed as integer values. These ioctls are not supported on all architectures. TCGETS2 TCSETS2 TCSETSW2 TCSETSF2 The following four ioctls are just like TCGETS, TCSETS, TCSETSW, TCSETSF, except that they take a struct termio * instead of a struct termios *. TCGETA TCSETA TCSETAW TCSETAF RETURN VALUE On success, 0 is returned. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS EPERM Insufficient permission. HISTORY TCGETS2 TCSETS2 TCSETSW2 TCSETSF2 Linux 2.6.20. CAVEATS struct termios from is different and incompatible with struct termios from . These ioctl calls require struct termios from .
