       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         top

       termios.h — define values for termios

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <termios.h>

DESCRIPTION         top

       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:
          ┌─────────────────────────────────────┬──────────────────┐
          │           Subscript Usage           │                  │
          │ Canonical Mode   Non-Canonical Mode Description    │
          ├────────────────┬────────────────────┼──────────────────┤

          │ VEOL           │                    │ EOL character.   │
          │ VERASE         │                    │ ERASE character. │
          │ VINTR          │ VINTR              │ INTR character.  │
          │ VKILL          │                    │ KILL character.  │
          │                │ VMIN               │ MIN value.       │
          │ VQUIT          │ VQUIT              │ QUIT character.  │
          │ VSTART         │ VSTART             │ START character. │
          │ VSTOP          │ VSTOP              │ STOP character.  │
          │ VSUSP          │ VSUSP              │ SUSP character.  │
          │                │ VTIME              │ TIME value.      │
          └────────────────┴────────────────────┴──────────────────┘

       The subscript values shall be suitable for use in #if
       preprocessing directives and shall be distinct, except that the
       VMIN and VTIME subscripts may have the same values as the VEOF
       and VEOL subscripts, respectively.

       TCIOFF      Transmit a STOP character, intended to suspend input
                   data.

       TCION       Transmit a START character, intended to restart input
                   data.
