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).
