PROLOG
       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
       termios.h — define values for termios

SYNOPSIS
       #include <termios.h>

DESCRIPTION
       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    │
	      ├───────────────┬────────────────────┼──────────────────┤
	      │VEOF	      │			   │ EOF character.   │
	      │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.
