STTY(3C)                             BSD                              STTY(3C)



NAME
     stty, gtty - set and get terminal state (defunct)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sgtty.h>

     stty(fd, buf)
     int fd;
     struct sgttyb *buf;

     gtty(fd, buf)
     int fd;
     struct sgttyb *buf;

DESCRIPTION
     This interface is obsoleted by ioctl(2).

     stty sets the state of the terminal associated with fd.  gtty retrieves
     the state of the terminal associated with fd.  To set the state of a
     terminal the call must have write permission.

     The stty call is actually "ioctl(fd, TIOCSETP, buf)", while the gtty call
     is "ioctl(fd, TIOCGETP, buf)".  See ioctl(2) and tty(4) for an
     explanation.

DIAGNOSTICS
     If the call is successful 0 is returned, otherwise -1 is returned and the
     global variable errno contains the reason for the failure.
