PROLOG

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of
       this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux  manual  page  for  details  of
       Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       termios.h — define values for termios

SYNOPSIS

       #include <termios.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  <termios.h>  header shall contain the definitions used by the terminal I/O interfaces
       (see Chapter 11, General Terminal Interface for the structures and names defined).

   The termios Structure
       The <termios.h> header shall define the following data types through typedef:

       cc_t        Used for terminal special characters.

       speed_t     Used for terminal baud rates.

       tcflag_t    Used for terminal modes.

       The above types shall be all unsigned integer types.

       The implementation shall support one or more programming environments in which the  widths
       of  cc_t,  speed_t, and tcflag_t are no greater than the width of type long.  The names of
       these programming environments can be obtained using the confstr() function or the getconf
       utility.

       The  <termios.h>  header  shall define the termios structure, which shall include at least
       the following members:

           tcflag_t  c_iflag     Input modes.
           tcflag_t  c_oflag     Output modes.
           tcflag_t  c_cflag     Control modes.
           tcflag_t  c_lflag     Local modes.
           cc_t      c_cc[NCCS]  Control characters.

       The <termios.h> header shall define the following symbolic constant:

       NCCS        Size of the array c_cc for control characters.

       The <termios.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as subscripts
       for the array c_cc:
