27.Fn ioctl "int fildes" "int request" "int arg"
28.Pp

30.Fn ioctl "int fildes" "int request" "struct termios *arg"
31.Sh DESCRIPTION
32This release supports a general interface for asynchronous communications ports
33that is hardware-independent.
34The user interface to this functionality is using
35function calls (the preferred interface) described in
36.Xr termios 3C
37or
38.Fn ioctl
39commands described in this section.
40This section also discusses the
41common features of the terminal subsystem which are relevant with both user
42interfaces.
43.Pp
44When a terminal file is opened, it normally causes the process to wait until a
45connection is established.
46In practice, user programs seldom open terminal
47files; they are opened by the system and become a user's standard input,
48output, and error files.
49The first terminal file opened by the session leader
50that is not already associated with a session becomes the controlling terminal
51for that session.
52The controlling terminal plays a special role in handling
53quit and interrupt signals, as discussed below.
54The controlling terminal is
55inherited by a child process during a
56.Xr fork 2 .
57A process can break this
58association by changing its session using
59.Xr setsid 2 .
60.Pp
61A terminal associated with one of these files ordinarily operates in
62full-duplex mode.
63Characters may be typed at any time, even while output is
64occurring, and are only lost when the character input buffers of the system
65become completely full, which is rare.
66For example, the number of characters in
67the line discipline buffer may exceed
68.Brq Dv MAX_CANON
69and
70.Dv IMAXBEL
71(see below) is not set, or the user may accumulate
72.Brq Dv MAX_INPUT
73number of input characters that have not yet been read by some program.
74When the input
75limit is reached, all the characters saved in the buffer up to that point are
76thrown away without notice.
77.Ss "Session Management (Job Control)"
78A control terminal will distinguish one of the process groups in the session
79associated with it to be the foreground process group.
80All other process
81groups in the session are designated as background process groups.
82This foreground process group plays a special role in handling signal-generating
83input characters, as discussed below.
84By default, when a controlling terminal
85is allocated, the controlling process's process group is assigned as
86foreground process group.
87.Pp
88Background process groups in the controlling process's session are subject to a
89job control line discipline when they attempt to access their controlling
90terminal.
91Process groups can be sent signals that will cause them to stop,
92unless they have made other arrangements.
93An exception is made for members of
94orphaned process groups.
95.Pp
96An orphaned process group is one where the process group (see
97.Xr getpgid 2 )
98has no members with a parent in a different process group but sharing the same
99controlling terminal.
100When a member of an orphaned process group attempts to
101access its controlling terminal, EIO is returned because there would be no way
102to restart the process if it were stopped on one of these signals.
103.Pp
104If a member of a background process group attempts to read its controlling
105terminal, its process group will be sent a
106.Dv SIGTTIN
107signal, which will
108normally cause the members of that process group to stop.
109If, however, the
110process is ignoring or holding
111.Dv SIGTTIN ,
112or is a member of an orphaned
113process group, the read will fail with
114.Va errno
115set to
116.Er EIO ,
117and no signal is sent.
118.Pp
119If a member of a background process group attempts to write its controlling
120terminal and the
121.Dv TOSTOP
122bit is set in the
123.Fa c_lflag
124field, its process group is sent a
125.Dv SIGTTOU
126signal, which will normally cause the
127members of that process group to stop.
128If, however, the process is ignoring or
129holding
130.Dv SIGTTOU ,
131the write will succeed.
132If the process is not ignoring
133or holding
134.Dv SIGTTOU
135and is a member of an orphaned process group, the
136write will fail with
137.Va errno
138set to
139.Er EIO ,
140and no signal will be sent.
141.Pp
142If
143.Dv TOSTOP
144is set and a member of a background process group attempts to
145.Fn ioctl
146its controlling terminal, and that
147.Fn ioctl
148will modify terminal parameters (for example,
149.Dv TCSETA ,
150.Dv TCSETAW ,
151.Dv TCSETAF ,
152or
153.Dv TIOCSPGRP ) ,
154its process group will be sent a
155.Dv SIGTTOU
156signal, which will normally cause the members of that process group to stop.
157If, however, the process is ignoring or holding
158.Dv SIGTTOU ,
159the ioctl will succeed.
160If the process is not ignoring or holding
161.Dv SIGTTOU
162and is a member of an orphaned
163process group, the write will fail with
164.Va errno
165set to
166.Er EIO ,
167and no signal will be sent.
168.Ss "Canonical Mode Input Processing"
169Normally, terminal input is processed in units of lines.
170A line is delimited by
171a newline
172.Po
173.Sy ASCII LF
174.Pc
175character, an end-of-file
176.Po
177.Sy ASCII EOT
178.Pc
179character, or an end-of-line character.
180This means that a program attempting to
181read will block until an entire line has been typed.
182Also, no matter how many
183characters are requested in the read call, at most one line will be returned.
184It is not necessary, however, to read a whole line at once; any number of
185characters may be requested in a read, even one, without losing information.
186.Pp
187During input, erase, erase2, and kill processing is normally done.
188The
189.Sy ERASE
190and
191.Sy ERASE2
192character (by default, the character
193.Sy DEL
194for
195.Sy ERASE
196and
197.Sy Control-h
198for
199.Sy ERASE2 )
200erases the last character typed.
201The
202.Sy WERASE
203character (the character
204.Sy Control-w )
205erases the
206last "word" typed in the current input line (but not any preceding spaces or
207tabs).
208A
209.Dq word
210is defined as a sequence of non-blank characters, with tabs counted as blanks.
211None of
212.Sy ERASE
213or
214.Sy ERASE2
215or
216.Sy WERASE
217will erase beyond the beginning of the line.
218The
219.Sy KILL
220character (by default,
221the character
222.Sy NAK )
223kills (deletes) the entire input line, and optionally
224outputs a newline character.
225All these characters operate on a key stroke basis,
226independent of any backspacing or tabbing that may have been done.
227The
228.Sy REPRINT
229character (the character
230.Sy Control-r )
231prints a newline followed by all characters that have not been read.
232Reprinting also occurs automatically if
233characters that would normally be erased from the screen are fouled by program
234output.
235The characters are reprinted as if they were being echoed;
236consequently, if
237.Dv ECHO
238is not set, they are not printed.
239.Pp
240The
241.Sy ERASE ,
242.Sy ERASE2 ,
243and
244.Sy KILL
245characters may be entered literally by preceding them with the escape character.
246In this case, the escape character is not read.
247The erase, erase2, and kill characters may be changed.
248.Ss "Non-canonical Mode Input Processing"
249In non-canonical mode input processing, input characters are not assembled into
250lines, and erase and kill processing does not occur.
251The
252.Sy MIN
253and
254.Sy TIME
255values are used to determine how to process the characters received.
256.Pp
257.Sy MIN
258represents the minimum number of characters that should be received
259when the read is satisfied (that is, when the characters are returned to the
260user).
261.Sy TIME
262is a timer of 0\&.10-second granularity that is used to timeout
263bursty and short-term data transmissions.
264The four possible values for
265.Sy MIN
266and
267.Sy TIME
268and their interactions are described below.
269.Bl -tag -width "Case A: Min > 0, Time > 0"
270.It Sy Case A: MIN > 0, TIME > 0
271In this case,
272.Sy TIME
273serves as an intercharacter timer and is activated
274after the first character is received.
275Since it is an intercharacter timer, it
276is reset after a character is received.
277The interaction between
278.Sy MIN
279and
280.Sy TIME
281is as follows: as soon as one character is received, the
282intercharacter timer is started.
283If
284.Sy MIN
285characters are received before
286the intercharacter timer expires (note that the timer is reset upon receipt of
287each character), the read is satisfied.
288If the timer expires before
289.Sy MIN
290characters are received, the characters received to that point are returned to
291the user.
292Note that if
293.Sy TIME
294expires, at least one character will be
295returned because the timer would not have been enabled unless a character was
296received.
297In this case (MIN > 0, TIME > 0), the read sleeps until the
298.Sy MIN
299and
300.Sy TIME
301mechanisms are activated by the receipt of the first character.
302If the number of characters read is less than the number of characters
303available, the timer is not reactivated and the subsequent read is satisfied
304immediately.
305.It Sy Case B: MIN > 0, TIME = 0
306In this case, since the value of
307.Sy TIME
308is zero, the timer plays no role
309and only
310.Sy MIN
311is significant.
312A pending read is not satisfied until
313.Sy MIN
314characters are received (the pending read sleeps until
315.Sy MIN
316characters are received).
317A program that uses this case to read record based
318terminal
319.Sy I/O
320may block indefinitely in the read operation.
321.It Sy Case C: MIN = 0, TIME > 0
322In this case, since
323.Sy MIN
3240,
325.Sy TIME
326no longer represents an
327intercharacter timer: it now serves as a read timer that is activated as soon
328as a
329.Xr read  2
330is done.
331A read is satisfied as soon as a single character is
332received or the read timer expires.
333Note that, in this case, if the timer
334expires, no character is returned.
335If the timer does not expire, the only way
336the read can be satisfied is if a character is received.
337In this case, the
338read will not block indefinitely waiting for a character; if no character is
339received within
340.Sy TIME
341*\&.10 seconds after the read is initiated, the read
342returns with zero characters.
343.It Sy Case D: MIN = 0, TIME = 0
344In this case, return is immediate.
345The minimum of either the number of
346characters requested or the number of characters currently available is
347returned without waiting for more characters to be input.
348.El
349.Ss "Comparing Different Cases of MIN, TIME Interaction"
350Some points to note about
351.Sy MIN
352and
353.Sy TIME :
354.Bl -bullet -offset 2n
355.It
356In the following explanations, note that the interactions of
357.Sy MIN
358and
359.Sy TIME
360are not symmetric.
361For example, when
362.Sy MIN
363> 0 and
364.Sy TIME
365= 0,
366.Sy TIME
367has no effect.
368However, in the opposite case, where
369.Sy MIN
370= 0 and
371.Sy TIME
372> 0, both
373.Sy MIN
374and
375.Sy TIME
376play a role in that
377.Sy MIN
378is satisfied with the receipt of a single character.
379.It
380Also note that in case A
381.Po
382.Sy MIN
383> 0,
384.Sy TIME
385> 0
386.Pc ,
387.Sy TIME
388represents
389an intercharacter timer, whereas in case C
390.Po
391.Sy MIN
392= 0,
393.Sy TIME
394> 0
395.Pc ,
396.Sy TIME
397represents a read timer.
398.El
399.Pp
400These two points highlight the dual purpose of the
401.Sy MIN/TIME
402feature.
403Cases A and B, where
404.Sy MIN
405> 0, exist to handle burst mode activity (for
406example, file transfer programs), where a program would like to process at
407least
408.Sy MIN
409characters at a time.
410In case A, the intercharacter timer is
411activated by a user as a safety measure; in case B, the timer is turned off.
412.Pp
413Cases C and D exist to handle single character, timed transfers.
414These cases
415are readily adaptable to screen-based applications that need to know if a
416character is present in the input queue before refreshing the screen.
417In case
418C, the read is timed, whereas in case D, it is not.
419.Pp
420Another important note is that
421.Sy MIN
422is always just a minimum.
423It does not
424denote a record length.
425For example, if a program does a read of 20 bytes,
426.Sy MIN
427is 10, and 25 characters are present, then 20 characters will be
428returned to the user.
429.Ss "Writing Characters"
430When one or more characters are written, they are transmitted to the terminal
431as soon as previously written characters have finished typing.
432nputt characters
433are echoed as they are typed if echoing has been enabled.
434If a process produces
435characters more rapidly than they can be typed, it will be suspended when its
436output queue exceeds some limit.
437When the queue is drained down to some
438threshold, the program is resumed.
439.Ss "Special Characters"
440Certain characters have special functions on input.
441These functions and their default character values are summarized as follows:
442.Bl -tag -width REPRINT
443.It Sy INTR
444(Control-c or
445.Sy ASCII ETX )
446generates a
447.Dv SIGINT
448signal.
449.Dv SIGINT
450is sent to all foreground processes associated with the controlling terminal.
451Normally, each such process is forced to terminate, but arrangements may be
452made either to ignore the signal or to receive a trap to an agreed upon
453location.
454(See
455.Xr signal.h 3HEAD ) .
456.It Sy QUIT
457(Control-| or
458.Sy ASCII FS )
459generates a
460.Dv SIGQUIT
461signal.
462Its treatment
463is identical to the interrupt signal except that, unless a receiving process
464has made other arrangements, it will not only be terminated but a core image
465file (called
466.Pa core )
467will be created in the current working directory.
468.It Sy ERASE
469(DEL) erases the preceding character.
470It does not erase beyond
471the start of a line, as delimited by a
472.Sy NL ,
473.Sy EOF ,
474.Sy EOL ,
475or
476.Sy EOL2
477character.
478.It Sy ERASE2
479(Control-h or
480.Sy ASCII BS )
481erases the preceding character, with behaviour identical to that of ERASE.
482.It Sy WERASE
483(Control-w or
484.Sy ASCII ETX )
485erases the preceding
486.Dq word .
487It does not erase beyond the start of a line, as delimited by a
488.Sy NL ,
489.Sy EOF ,
490.Sy EOL ,
491or
492.Sy EOL2
493character.
494.It Sy KILL
495(Control-u or
496.Sy ASCII NAK )
497deletes the entire line, as delimited by a
498.Sy NL ,
499.Sy EOF ,
500.Sy EOL ,
501or
502.Sy EOL2
503character.
504.It Sy REPRINT
505(Control-r or
506.Sy ASCII DC2 )
507reprints all characters, preceded by a newline, that have not been read.
508.It Sy EOF
509(Control-d or
510.Sy ASCII EOT )
511may be used to generate an end-of-file from a terminal.
512When received, all the characters waiting to be read are immediately
513passed to the program, without waiting for a newline, and the
514.Sy EOF
515is discarded.
516Thus, if no characters are waiting (that is, the
517.Sy EOF
518occurred
519at the beginning of a line) zero characters are passed back, which is the
520standard end-of-file indication.
521Unless escaped, the
522.Sy EOF
523character is not
524echoed.
525Because
526.Sy EOT
527is the default
528.Sy EOF
529character, this prevents
530terminals that respond to
531.Sy EOT
532from hanging up.
533.It Sy NL
534.Pq Sy ASCII LF
535is the normal line delimiter.
536It cannot be changed or escaped.
537.It Sy EOL
538.Pq Sy ASCII NULL
539is an additional line delimiter, like
540.Sy NL .
541It is not normally used.
542.It Sy EOL2
543is another additional line delimiter.
544.It Sy SWTCH
545(Control-z or
546.Sy ASCII EM )
547Header file symbols related to this special
548character are present for compatibility purposes only and the kernel takes no
549special action on matching SWTCH (except to discard the character).
550.It Sy SUSP
551(Control-z or
552.Sy ASCII SUB )
553generates a
554.Dv SIGTSTP
555signal.
556.Dv SIGTSTP
557stops all processes in the foreground process group for that terminal.
558.It Sy DSUSP
559(Control-y or
560.Sy ASCII EM ) .
561It generates a
562.Dv SIGTSTP
563signal as
564.Sy SUSP
565does, but the signal is sent when a process in the foreground
566process group attempts to read the
567.Sy DSUSP
568character, rather than when it is typed.
569.It Sy STOP
570(Control-s or
571.Sy ASCII DC3 )
572can be used to suspend output temporarily.
573It is useful with
574.Sy CRT
575terminals to prevent output from disappearing before it can be read.
576While output is suspended,
577.Sy STOP
578characters are ignored and
579not read.
580.It Sy START
581(Control-q or
582.Sy ASCII DC1 )
583is used to resume output.
584Output has been suspended by a
585.Sy STOP
586character.
587While output is not suspended,
588.Sy START
589characters are ignored and not read.
590.It Sy DISCARD
591(Control-o or
592.Sy ASCII SI )
593causes subsequent output to be discarded.
594Output is discarded until another
595.Sy DISCARD
596character is typed, more input
597arrives, or the condition is cleared by a program.
598.It Sy STATUS
599(Control-t or
600.Sy ASCII DC4 )
601generates a
602.Dv SIGINFO
603signal.
604Processes with a handler will output status information when they receive
605.Dv SIGINFO ,
606for
607example,
608.Xr dd 8 .
609If a process does not have a
610.Dv SIGINFO
611handler, the
612signal will be ignored.
613.It Sy LNEXT
614(Control-v or
615.Sy ASCII SYN )
616causes the special meaning of the next character to be ignored.
617This works for all the special characters mentioned above.
618It
619allows characters to be input that would otherwise be interpreted by the system
620(for example
621.Sy KILL ,
622.Sy QUIT ) .
623The character values for
624.Sy INTR ,
625.Sy QUIT ,
626.Sy ERASE ,
627.Sy ERASE2 ,
628.Sy WERASE ,
629.Sy KILL ,
630.Sy REPRINT ,
631.Sy EOF ,
632.Sy EOL ,
633.Sy EOL2 ,
634.Sy SWTCH ,
635.Sy SUSP ,
636.Sy DSUSP ,
637.Sy STOP ,
638.Sy START ,
639.Sy DISCARD ,
640.Sy STATUS ,
641and
642.Sy LNEXT
643may be changed to suit individual tastes.
644If the value of a special control character
645is
646.Dv _POSIX_VDISABLE
647(0), the function of that special control character is disabled.
648The
649.Sy ERASE ,
650.Sy ERASE2 ,
651.Sy KILL ,
652and
653.Sy EOF
654characters may be
655escaped by a preceding backslash (\e) character, in which case no special
656function is done.
657Any of the special characters may be preceded by the
658.Sy LNEXT
659character, in
660which case no special function is done.
661.El
662.Ss "Modem Disconnect"
663When a modem disconnect is detected, a
664.Dv SIGHUP
665signal is sent to the
666terminal's controlling process.
667Unless other arrangements have been made, these

2154.Bd -literal -offset 2n
2155struct timeval tv;
2156uint32_t serial;
2157.Ed
2158.Pp
2159.Fa tv
2160is the system clock timestamp when the event (pulse on the
2161.Sy DCD
2162pin) occurred.
2163.Fa serial
2164is the ordinal of the event, which each consecutive event
2165being assigned the next ordinal.
2166The first event registered gets a
2167.Fa serial
2168value of
2169.Sy 1 .
2170The
2171.Dv TIOCGPPSEV
2172returns the last event registered; multiple calls will persistently return the
2173same event until a new one is registered.
2174In addition to time stamping and saving the event, if it is of
2175one-second period and of consistently high accuracy, the local system clock
2176will automatically calibrate to it.
