cfgetospeed(3C)                                   cfgetospeed(3C)



NAME
     cfgetospeed, cfsetospeed, cfgetispeed,  cfsetispeed - Get or
     set input or output baud rate values in termios structure

SYNOPSIS
     #include <termios.h>

     speed_t cfgetospeed (termios_p)
     struct termios *termios_p;

     int cfsetospeed (termios_p, speed)
     struct termios *termios_p;
     speed_t speed;

     speed_t cfgetispeed (termios_p)
     struct termios *termios_p;

     speed_t cfsetispeed (termios_p, speed)
     struct termios *termios_p;
     speed_t speed;

DESCRIPTION
     The cfgetospeed(), cfsetospeed(), cfgetispeed(), and
     cfsetispeed() functions are defined in the POSIX 1003.1
     standard and used in the 88open OCS and BCS standards.
     CX/UX applications which are not POSIX/OCS/BCS compliant can
     use these functions.

     The argument termios_p points to a termios structure defined
     within the user program and the argument speed refers to one
     of the baud rate values (B1200, B9600, etc.) defined in the
     header file <termios.h>. The type speed_t and the termios
     structure are also defined in <termios.h>. The effects on
     the terminal device as a result of one of these functions do
     not become effective until the tcsetattr function is suc-
     cessfully called passing the modified termios structure to
     the system.

     Cfgetospeed returns the output baud rate stored in the ter-
     mios structure pointed to by termios_p.

     Cfsetospeed sets the output baud rate stored in the termios
     structure pointed to by termios_p to speed . A connection
     may be terminated by assigning B0, the zero baud rate, to
     speed. In this case, the modem control lines shall no longer
     be asserted thus effectively disconnecting the line.

     Cfgetispeed returns the input baud rate stored in the ter-
     mios structure pointed to by termios_p.

     Cfsetispeed sets the input baud rate stored in the termios
     structure pointed to by termios_p to speed. If the input

     baud rate is set to B0, the input baud rate will be speci-
     fied by the value of the output baud rate.

NOTE
     CX/UX does not support separate line speeds for terminal
     devices.  As a result, all references to input speeds actu-
     ally refer to output speeds.  Therefore, the input rate
     should be specified by the same value as the output rate
     when using cfsetispeed.  It is best to use cfsetispeed with
     speed set to B0 allowing the input rate to be automatically
     specified by the value of the output baud rate.  This
     assumes that cfsetospeed has been previously called.  If
     both input and output baud rates do not match, the tcsetattr
     function call will fail with errno set to [EINVAL].

DIAGNOSTICS
     Cfsetispeed and cfsetospeed will return one of the following
     values:  0 indicating that the call succeeded or -1 if speed
     does not match one of the baud rate values specified in
     <termios.h>. Errno will not be set.  Cfgetispeed and
     cfgetospeed do not return any diagnostics.
