DESCRIPTION
     Sio_$inquire supplies the value of the option specified by sio_option for
     the SIO line open on stream_id.

     stream_id
          The stream ID of a stream open on a serial line.

     sio_option
          An SIO line option.  Specify only one of the following values:

          sio_$bits_per_char
               The number of bits per character.  This option can have one of
               the following values:

               sio_$5bpc
                    Five bits per character.

               sio_$6bpc
                    Six bits per character.

               sio_$7bpc
                    Seven bits per character.

               sio_$8bpc
                    Eight bits per character.

          sio_$bp_enable
               This option is a Boolean value that enables or disables
               interpretation of control codes from a bit pad.  If true, bit
               pad control code interpretation is enabled.  If false, bit pad
               control code interpretation is disabled.  The default value is
               false.

          sio_$cts
               This option is a Boolean value that reflects the state of the
               Clear to Send (CTS) line.  The value of this option cannot be
               changed with sio_$control.

          sio_$cts_enable
               This option is a Boolean value that specifies whether the CTS
               line will be used to inhibit transmission.  If true, then
               transmission is inhibited when CTS is false.  If false, the CTS
               line does not inhibit transmission.

          sio_$dcd
               This option is a Boolean value that reflects the state of the
               Data Carrier Detect (DCD) line.  The value of this option can-
               not be changed with sio_$control.

          sio_$dcd_enable
               This option is a Boolean value that specifies whether a DCD
               line transition will generate a fault_$stop fault.  If true,
               then a DCD line transition from true to false generates a
               fault.  If false, a DCD line transition does not generate a
               fault.

          sio_$drain_out
               This option is a Boolean value that specifies whether write
               calls on the SIO line should wait until all characters in the
               output buffer are transmitted before returning.  If true, the
               write call waits.  If false, the write call doesn't wait.  The
               default is false.

          sio_$dtr
               This option is a Boolean value that sets the state of the Data
               Terminal Ready (DTR) line.

          sio_$eofchr
               The value of this option is the end-of-file (EOF) character.
               It takes a character value, and the default is CTRL/Z.

          sio_$erase
               The value of this option is the erase character.  It takes a
               character value, and the default is CTRL/H.

          sio_$err_enable
               The value of this option is a small set of type
               sio_$err_possibilities_t that defines the errors that can be
               reported by read calls on an SIO line.  It can be any combina-
               tion of the following values:

               sio_$check_parity
                    Report parity errors.

               sio_$check_framing
                    Report framing errors.  Framing errors are reported by
                    default.

               sio_$check_dcd_change
                    Report DCD line state changes.

               sio_$check_cts_change
                    Report CTS line state changes.

          sio_$flush_in
               This option is a Boolean value that specifies whether to flush
               the input buffer of an SIO line.  If true, the input buffer is
               flushed.  If false, the input buffer is not flushed.  The
               default is false.

          sio_$flush_out
               This option is a Boolean value that specifies whether to flush
               the output buffer of an SIO line.  If true, the output buffer
               is flushed.  If false, the output buffer is not flushed.  The
               default is false.

          sio_$host_sync
               This option is a Boolean value that enables or disables host
               synchronization.  If true, the node sends XOFF (CTRL/S) when
               its input buffer is full, and sends XON (CTRL/Q) when it is
               again ready to receive data.  If false, the node does not use
               XON/XOFF synchronization.  The default is true.

          sio_$hup_close
               This option is a Boolean value that specifies whether the SIO
               line should "hang up" when the last stream on it is closed.  If
               true, the node drops the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) line for
               approximately three-fourths of a second when the last stream on
               it is closed.  If false, the node does not hang up.

          sio_$input_sync
               This option is a Boolean value that enables or disables input
               synchronization.  If true, the node honors incoming XON and
               XOFF requests.  If false, the node ignores incoming XON/XOFF
               signals.  The default is false.

          sio_$int_enable
               This option is a Boolean value that enables or disables inter-
               rupts from the calling process.  If true, the SIO line honors
               interrupts from the calling process.  If false, the SIO line
               ignores interrupts from the calling process.

          sio_$intchr
               The value of this option is the interrupt character.  It takes
               a character value, and the default is CTRL/C.

          sio_$kill
               The value of this option is the kill character.  It takes a
               character value, and the default is CTRL/X.

          sio_$line
               This value of this option is the SIO line number, an integer
               from 0 to sio_$max_line.  The value of this option cannot be
               changed with sio_$control.

          sio_$nlc_delay
               The value of this option is the time delay in milliseconds fol-
               lowing transmission of a line feed character, to allow for car-
               riage motion or scrolling time, and so on.  The default is 0.

          sio_$no_NL
               This option is a Boolean value that specifies whether a newline
               character is transmitted as a carriage-return line-feed
               sequence or as a raw newline character.  If true, newlines are
               transmitted as is.  If false, newlines are transmitted as
               carriage-return line-feed sequences.  The default is false.

          sio_$no_echo
               This option is a Boolean value that specifies whether input
               characters are echoed back in the output.  If true, input char-
               acters are not echoed.  If false, input characters are echoed
               back to the sender.  The default is false.

          sio_$parity
               The value of this option is the parity used by the SIO line.
               It can take any one of the following values:

               sio_$even_parity
                    Even parity.

               sio_$no_parity
                    No parity.

               sio_$odd_parity
                    Odd parity.

               If the parity is even or odd, then one bit is added to each
               character to enforce the chosen parity.  If there are fewer
               than eight bits per character, the parity bit is delivered with
               the data in raw mode, but is stripped in cooked mode.

          sio_$quit_enable
               This option is a Boolean value that specifies whether the node
               will respond to a quit character or break condition by inter-
               rupting the calling process.  If true, a quit or break gen-
               erates a quit fault.  If false, a quit or break is ignored.
               The default is false.  (In raw mode, break and quit are the
               only ways to generate a quit fault.)

          sio_$quitchr
               The value of this option is the quit character.  It takes a
               character value, and the default is CTRL/].

          sio_$raw
               This option is a Boolean value that determines whether the line
               is in raw or cooked mode.  If true, the line is in raw mode and
               each read returns all bytes received since the last call
               without any interpretation.  If false, the line is in cooked
               mode and control codes are interpreted.  The default value is
               false.

               The input buffer is flushed whenever sio_$raw changes value.

          sio_$raw_nl
               This option is a Boolean value that specifies whether a newline
               character is transmitted as a carriage-return line-feed
               sequence or as a raw newline character when the line is in raw
               mode.  If true, newlines are transmitted as is while in raw
               mode.  If false, newlines are transmitted as carriage-return
               line-feed sequences while in raw mode.  The default is false.

          sio_$rts
               This option is a Boolean value that determines the state of the
               Request To Send (RTS) line.  The default is true.

          sio_$rts_enable
               This option is a Boolean value that enables or disables the RTS
               line.  If true, the RTS line is used with the CTS line for data
               flow control.  For flow control to work, the CTS line must also
               be enabled.  If false, no RTS/CTS flow control is provided.
               The default is false.

          sio_$send_break
               The value of this option is the duration of a break condition
               on the SIO line, in milliseconds.  A reasonable value for the
               sio_$send_break option is 200.  A value other than 0 causes a
               break condition.

          sio_$speed
               The value of this option is the baud rate of the SIO line.  It
               can have any of the following values:  sio_$50, sio_$75,
               sio_$110, sio_$134, sio_$150, sio_$300, sio_$600, sio_$1200,
               sio_$2000, sio_$2400, sio_$3600, sio_$4800, sio_$7200,
               sio_$9600, or sio_$19200.  The default is sio_$9600.

          sio_$speed_force
               The value of this option is the baud rate of a partnered SIO
               line.  The baud rate is forced to the value of this option,
               even if it is incompatible with the rate of the line's partner.
               If the value of sio_$speed_force is incompatible with the speed
               of the partnered line, the partnered line is forced to the
               default speed of sio_$9600.  This option can have any of the
               following values:  sio_$50, sio_$75, sio_$110, sio_$134,
               sio_$150, sio_$300, sio_$600, sio_$1200, sio_$2000, sio_$2400,
               sio_$3600, sio_$4800, sio_$7200, sio_$9600, or sio_$19200.

          sio_$stop_bits
               The value of this option is the number of stop bits used by the
               SIO line.  It can have any of the following values:
               sio_$stop_1, sio_$stop_1_point_5, or sio_$stop_2.  The default
               is sio_$stop_1.

          sio_$susp_enable
               This option is a Boolean value that enables or disables suspend
               signals from the calling process.  If true, the SIO line honors
               suspend signals (faults).  If false, the SIO line ignores
               suspend signals (faults).

          sio_$suspchr
               The value of this option is the suspend character.  It takes a
               character value, and the default is CTRL/P.

     option_value
          The value for the option specified by sio_option.

     status
          The completion status.  Possible values are

          sio_$bad_option
               The option passed is not a valid SIO option.

          sio_$illegal_strid
               The stream ID passed in the sio_$ call is not open on an SIO
               line.
