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).
