stty(3)
NAME
  stty, gtty - set and get terminal state

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sgtty.h>

  stty(
	  int fd,
	  struct sgttyb *buf );

  gtty(
	  int fd,
	  struct sgttyb *buf );

DESCRIPTION
  The stty() subroutine sets the state of the terminal associated with fd.
  The gtty() subroutine retrieves the state of the terminal associated with
  fd. To set the state of a terminal, the stty() call must have write
  permission.

  Calls to these subroutines, supported only to ensure BSD binary
  compatibility, have been superseded by the ioctl() system call. The stty()
  call is implemented as ioctl(fd, TIOCSETP, buf), and the gtty() call is
  implemented as ioctl(fd, TIOCGETP, buf). See ioctl(2) and tty(7) for more
  information.

RETURN VALUES
  If the call is successful, zero is returned; otherwise, -1 is returned and
  the global variable errno indicates the reason for the failure.
