50 .Sh DESCRIPTION
51 The
52 .Nm
53 utility sets or reports on terminal
54 characteristics for the device that is its standard input.
55 If no options or operands are specified, it reports the settings of a subset
56 of characteristics as well as additional ones if they differ from their
57 default values.
58 Otherwise it modifies
59 the terminal state according to the specified arguments.
60 Some combinations of arguments are mutually
61 exclusive on some terminal types.
62 .Pp
63 The following options are available:
64 .Bl -tag -width indent
65 .It Fl a
66 Display all the current settings for the terminal to standard output
67 as per
68 .St -p1003.2 .
69 .It Fl e
70 Display all the current settings for the terminal to standard output
71 in the traditional
72 .Bx
73 ``all'' and ``everything'' formats.
74 .It Fl f
75 Open and use the terminal named by
76 .Ar file
77 rather than using standard input. The file is opened
78 using the
79 .Dv O_NONBLOCK
80 flag of
81 .Fn open ,
82 making it possible to
83 set or display settings on a terminal that might otherwise
84 block on the open.
85 .It Fl g
86 Display all the current settings for the terminal to standard output
87 in a form that may be used as an argument to a subsequent invocation of
88 .Nm
89 to restore the current terminal state as per
90 .St -p1003.2 .
91 .El
92 .Pp
93 The following arguments are available to set the terminal
94 characteristics:
95 .Ss Control Modes:
96 Control mode flags affect hardware characteristics associated with the
97 terminal. This corresponds to the c_cflag in the termios structure.
98 .Bl -tag -width Fl
99 .It Cm parenb Pq Fl parenb
100 Enable (disable) parity generation
101 and detection.

111 control is no longer
112 asserted.
113 .It Cm ispeed Ar number
114 Set terminal input baud rate to the
115 number given, if possible.
116 If the
117 input baud rate is set to zero, the
118 input baud rate is set to the
119 value of the output baud
120 rate.
121 .It Cm ospeed Ar number
122 Set terminal output baud rate to
123 the number given, if possible.
124 If
125 the output baud rate is set to
126 zero, modem control is
127 no longer asserted.
128 .It Cm speed Ar number
129 This sets both
130 .Cm ispeed
131 and
132 .Cm ospeed
133 to
134 .Ar number .
135 .It Cm hupcl Pq Fl hupcl
136 Stop asserting modem control
137 (do not stop asserting modem control) on last close.

176 to
177 .Dv CR
178 on input.
179 .It Cm igncr Pq Fl igncr
180 Ignore (do not ignore)
181 .Dv CR
182 on input.
183 .It Cm icrnl Pq Fl icrnl
184 Map (do not map)
185 .Dv CR
186 to
187 .Dv NL
188 on input.
189 .It Cm ixon Pq Fl ixon
190 Enable (disable)
191 .Dv START/STOP
192 output
193 control.
194 Output from the system is
195 stopped when the system receives
196 .Dv STOP
197 and started when the system
198 receives
199 .Dv START ,
200 or if
201 .Cm ixany
202 is set, any character restarts output.
203 .It Cm ixoff Pq Fl ixoff
204 Request that the system send (not
205 send)
206 .Dv START/STOP
207 characters when
208 the input queue is nearly
209 empty/full.
210 .It Cm ixany Pq Fl ixany
211 Allow any character (allow only
212 .Dv START )
213 to restart output.
214 .It Cm imaxbel Pq Fl imaxbel
215 The system imposes a limit of
216 .Dv MAX_INPUT
217 (currently 255) characters in the input queue. If
218 .Cm imaxbel
219 is set and the input queue limit has been reached,
220 subsequent input causes the system to send an ASCII BEL
221 character to the output queue (the terminal beeps at you). Otherwise,
222 if
223 .Cm imaxbel
224 is unset and the input queue is full, the next input character causes
225 the entire input and output queues to be discarded.
226 .El
227 .Ss Output Modes:
228 This corresponds to the c_oflag of the termios structure.
229 .Bl -tag -width Fl

238 .Dv CR-NL
239 on output.
240 .It Cm ocrnl Pq Fl ocrnl
241 Map (do not map)
242 .Dv CR
243 to
244 .Dv NL
245 on output.
246 .It Cm oxtabs Pq Fl oxtabs
247 Expand (do not expand) tabs to spaces on output.
248 .It Cm onocr Pq Fl onocr
249 Do not (do) output CRs at column zero.
250 .It Cm onlret Pq Fl onlret
251 On the terminal NL performs (does not perform) the CR function.
252 .El
253 .Ss Local Modes:
254 Local mode flags (lflags) affect various and sundry characteristics of terminal
255 processing.
256 Historically the term "local" pertained to new job control features
257 implemented by Jim Kulp on a
258 .Tn Pdp 11/70
259 at
260 .Tn IIASA .
261 Later the driver ran on the first
262 .Tn VAX
263 at Evans Hall, UC Berkeley, where the job control details
264 were greatly modified but the structure definitions and names
265 remained essentially unchanged.
266 The second interpretation of the 'l' in lflag
267 is ``line discipline flag'' which corresponds to the
268 .Ar c_lflag
269 of the
270 .Ar termios
271 structure.
272 .Bl -tag -width Fl
273 .It Cm isig Pq Fl isig
274 Enable (disable) the checking of
275 characters against the special control
276 characters
277 .Dv INTR , QUIT ,
278 and
279 .Dv SUSP .
280 .It Cm icanon Pq Fl icanon
281 Enable (disable) canonical input
282 .Pf ( Dv ERASE
283 and
284 .Dv KILL
285 processing).
286 .It Cm iexten Pq Fl iexten
287 Enable (disable) any implementation
288 defined special control characters
289 not currently controlled by icanon,
290 isig, or ixon.
291 .It Cm echo Pq Fl echo
292 Echo back (do not echo back) every
293 character typed.
294 .It Cm echoe Pq Fl echoe
295 The
296 .Dv ERASE
297 character shall (shall
298 not) visually erase the last character
299 in the current line from the
300 display, if possible.
301 .It Cm echok Pq Fl echok
302 Echo (do not echo)
303 .Dv NL
304 after
305 .Dv KILL
306 character.
307 .It Cm echoke Pq Fl echoke
308 The
309 .Dv KILL
310 character shall (shall
311 not) visually erase the
312 current line from the
313 display, if possible.
314 .It Cm echonl Pq Fl echonl
315 Echo (do not echo)
316 .Dv NL ,
317 even if echo
318 is disabled.
319 .It Cm echoctl Pq Fl echoctl
320 If
321 .Cm echoctl
322 is set, echo control characters as ^X. Otherwise control characters
323 echo as themselves.
324 .It Cm echoprt Pq Fl echoprt
325 For printing terminals.
326 If set, echo erased characters backwards within ``\\''
327 and ``/''. Otherwise, disable this feature.
328 .It Cm noflsh Pq Fl noflsh
329 Disable (enable) flush after
330 .Dv INTR , QUIT , SUSP .
331 .It Cm tostop Pq Fl tostop
332 Send (do not send)
333 .Dv SIGTTOU
334 for background output. This causes background jobs to stop if they attempt
335 terminal output.
336 .It Cm altwerase Pq Fl altwerase
337 Use (do not use) an alternate word erase algorithm when processing
338 .Dv WERASE
339 characters.
340 This alternate algorithm considers sequences of
341 alphanumeric/underscores as words.
342 It also skips the first preceding character in its classification
343 (as a convenience since the one preceding character could have been
344 erased with simply an
345 .Dv ERASE
346 character.)
347 .It Cm mdmbuf Pq Fl mdmbuf
348 If set, flow control output based on condition of Carrier Detect. Otherwise
349 writes return an error if Carrier Detect is low (and Carrier is not being
350 ignored with the
351 .Dv CLOCAL
352 flag.)
353 .It Cm flusho Pq Fl flusho
354 Indicates output is (is not) being discarded.
355 .It Cm pendin Pq Fl pendin
356 Indicates input is (is not) pending after a switch from non-canonical
357 to canonical mode and will be re-input when a read becomes pending
358 or more input arrives.

361 .Bl -tag -width Fl
362 .It Ar control-character Ar string
363 Set
364 .Ar control-character
365 to

367 If string is a single character,
368 the control character is set to
369 that character.
370 If string is the
371 two character sequence "^-" or the
372 string "undef" the control character
373 is disabled (i.e. set to
374 .Pf { Dv _POSIX_VDISABLE Ns } . )

443 .Dv TTYDISC .
444 .It Cm crt Pq Fl crt
445 Set (disable) all modes suitable for a CRT display device.
446 .It Cm kerninfo Pq Fl kerninfo
447 Enable (disable) the system generated status line associated with
448 processing a
449 .Dv STATUS
450 character (usually set to ^T). The status line consists of the
451 system load average, the current command name, its process ID, the
452 event the process is waiting on (or the status of the process), the user
453 and system times, percent cpu, and current memory usage.
454 .It Cm columns Ar number
455 The terminal size is recorded as having

472 .Dv ixany
473 is disabled, and
474 .Dv crt
475 is enabled.)
476 .It Cm extproc Pq Fl extproc
477 If set, this flag indicates that some amount of terminal processing is being
478 performed by either the terminal hardware or by the remote side connected
479 to a pty.
480 .It Cm raw Pq Fl raw
481 If set, change the modes of the terminal so that no input or output processing
482 is performed.
483 If unset, change the modes of the terminal to some reasonable
484 state that performs input and output processing. Note that since the
485 terminal driver no longer has a single
486 .Dv RAW
487 bit, it is not possible to intuit what flags were set prior to setting
488 .Cm raw .
489 This means that unsetting
490 .Cm raw
491 may not put back all the setting that were previously in effect.
492 To set the terminal into a raw state and then accurately restore it, the following
493 shell code is recommended:
494 .Bd -literal
495 save_state=$(stty -g)
496 stty raw
497 \&...
498 stty "$save_state"
