   currently in cooked mode (i.e., we shouldn't call it if the terminal
   is currently in raw mode, since it does not undo all of the changes
   made by the ttySetRaw() function below). Return 0 on success, or -1
   on error. If 'prevTermios' is non-NULL, then use the buffer to which
   it points to return the previous terminal settings. */

Note that, in most cases, the programs rendered in these web pages are not free standing: you'll typically also need a few other source files (mostly in the lib/ subdirectory) as well. Generally, it's easier to just download the entire source tarball and build the programs with make(1). By hovering your mouse over the various hyperlinked include files and function calls above, you can see which other source files this file depends on.
