TERMIO(7)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 TERMIO(7)



NAME
       termio - System V terminal driver interface

DESCRIPTION
       termio is the name of the old System V terminal driver interface.  This
       interface defined a termio structure used to store  terminal  settings,
       and  a range of ioctl(2) operations to get and set terminal attributes.

       The termio interface is now obsolete: POSIX.1-1990 standardized a modi-
       fied  version  of  this interface, under the name termios.  The POSIX.1
       data structure differs slightly from the System V version, and  POSIX.1
       defined a suite of functions to replace the various ioctl(2) operations
       that existed in System V.  (This was done because ioctl(2) was  unstan-
       dardized,  and its variadic third argument does not allow argument type
       checking.)

       If you're looking for a page called "termio",  then  you  can  probably
       find  most  of  the  information  that you seek in either termios(3) or
       ioctl_tty(2).
