NAME
stty - change and print terminal line settings
SYNOPSIS
stty [-F DEVICE | --file=DEVICE] [SETTING]...
stty [-F DEVICE | --file=DEVICE] [-a|--all]
stty [-F DEVICE | --file=DEVICE] [-g|--save]
DESCRIPTION
Print or change terminal characteristics.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-a, --all
print all current settings in human-readable form
-g, --save
print all current settings in a stty-readable form
-F, --file=DEVICE
open and use the specified DEVICE instead of stdin
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
Optional - before SETTING indicates negation. An * marks non-POSIX settings. The
underlying system defines which settings are available.
Special characters:
* discard CHAR
CHAR will toggle discarding of output
eof CHAR
CHAR will send an end of file (terminate the input)
eol CHAR
CHAR will end the line
* eol2 CHAR
alternate CHAR for ending the line
erase CHAR
CHAR will erase the last character typed
intr CHAR
CHAR will send an interrupt signal
kill CHAR
CHAR will erase the current line
* lnext CHAR
CHAR will enter the next character quoted
quit CHAR
CHAR will send a quit signal
* rprnt CHAR
CHAR will redraw the current line
start CHAR
CHAR will restart the output after stopping it
stop CHAR
CHAR will stop the output
susp CHAR
CHAR will send a terminal stop signal
* swtch CHAR
CHAR will switch to a different shell layer
* werase CHAR
CHAR will erase the last word typed
Special settings:
N set the input and output speeds to N bauds
* cols N
tell the kernel that the terminal has N columns
* columns N
same as cols N
* [-]drain
wait for transmission before applying settings (on by default)
ispeed N
set the input speed to N
* line N
use line discipline N
min N with -icanon, set N characters minimum for a completed read
ospeed N
set the output speed to N
* rows N
tell the kernel that the terminal has N rows
* size print the number of rows and columns according to the kernel
speed print the terminal speed
time N with -icanon, set read timeout of N tenths of a second

[-]inpck
enable input parity checking
[-]istrip
clear high (8th) bit of input characters
* [-]iutf8

* [-]iuclc
translate uppercase characters to lowercase
* [-]ixany
let any character restart output, not only start character

enable sending of start/stop characters

* ffN form feed delay style, N in [0..1]
* nlN newline delay style, N in [0..1]
* [-]ocrnl
translate carriage return to newline
* [-]ofdel
use delete characters for fill instead of NUL characters
* [-]ofill
use fill (padding) characters instead of timing for delays
* [-]olcuc

Handle the tty line connected to standard input. Without arguments, prints baud rate,
line discipline, and deviations from stty sane. In settings, CHAR is taken literally, or
coded as in ^c, 0x37, 0177 or 127; special values ^- or undef used to disable special
characters.
