NAME

       termio - System V terminal driver interface

DESCRIPTION

       termio  is the name of the old System V terminal driver interface.  This interface defined
       a termio structure used to store terminal settings, and a range of ioctl(2) operations  to
       get and set terminal attributes.

       The termio interface is now obsolete: POSIX.1-1990 standardized a modified version of this
       interface, under the name termios.  The POSIX.1 data structure differs slightly  from  the
       System V version, and POSIX.1 defined a suite of functions to replace the various ioctl(2)
       operations that existed in System V.  (This was done because ioctl(2) was  unstandardized,
       and its variadic third argument does not allow argument type checking.)

       If  you're  looking  for  a  page  called "termio", then you can probably find most of the
       information that you seek in either termios(3) or ioctl_tty(2).
