19.2 'stty': Print or change terminal characteristics
=====================================================
'stty' prints or changes terminal characteristics, such as baud rate.
Synopses:
stty [OPTION] [SETTING]...
stty [OPTION]
If given no line settings, 'stty' prints the baud rate, line
discipline number (on systems that support it), and line settings that
have been changed from the values set by 'stty sane'. By default, mode
reading and setting are performed on the tty line connected to standard
input, although this can be modified by the '--file' option.
'stty' accepts many non-option arguments that change aspects of the
terminal line operation, as described below.
The program accepts the following options. Also see *note Common
options::.
'-a'
'--all'
Print all current settings in human-readable form. This option may
not be used in combination with any line settings.
'-F DEVICE'
'--file=DEVICE'
Set the line opened by the file name specified in DEVICE instead of
the tty line connected to standard input. This option is necessary
because opening a POSIX tty requires use of the 'O_NONDELAY' flag
to prevent a POSIX tty from blocking until the carrier detect line
is high if the 'clocal' flag is not set. Hence, it is not always
possible to allow the shell to open the device in the traditional
manner.
'-g'
'--save'
Print all current settings in a form that can be used as an
argument to another 'stty' command to restore the current settings.
This option may not be used in combination with any line settings.
Many settings can be turned off by preceding them with a '-'. Such
arguments are marked below with "May be negated" in their description.
The descriptions themselves refer to the positive case, that is, when
_not_ negated (unless stated otherwise, of course).
Some settings are not available on all POSIX systems, since they use
extensions. Such arguments are marked below with "Non-POSIX" in their
description. On non-POSIX systems, those or other settings also may not
be available, but it's not feasible to document all the variations: just
try it and see.
'stty' is installed only on platforms with the POSIX terminal
interface, so portable scripts should not rely on its existence on
non-POSIX platforms.
An exit status of zero indicates success, and a nonzero value
indicates failure.

Translate uppercase characters to lowercase. Non-POSIX. May be
negated. Note ilcuc is not implemented, as one would not be able
to issue almost any (lowercase) Unix command, after invoking it.

19.2.6 Special characters
-------------------------
The special characters' default values vary from system to system. They
are set with the syntax 'name value', where the names are listed below
and the value can be given either literally, in hat notation ('^C'), or
as an integer which may start with '0x' to indicate hexadecimal, '0' to
indicate octal, or any other digit to indicate decimal.
For GNU stty, giving a value of '^-' or 'undef' disables that special
character. (This is incompatible with Ultrix 'stty', which uses a value
of 'u' to disable a special character. GNU 'stty' treats a value 'u'
like any other, namely to set that special character to <U>.)
'intr'
Send an interrupt signal.
'quit'
Send a quit signal.
'erase'
Erase the last character typed.
'kill'
Erase the current line.
'eof'
Send an end of file (terminate the input).
'eol'
End the line.
'eol2'
Alternate character to end the line. Non-POSIX.
'discard'
Alternate character to toggle discarding of output. Non-POSIX.
'swtch'
Switch to a different shell layer. Non-POSIX.
'status'
Send an info signal. Not currently supported on Linux. Non-POSIX.
'start'
Restart the output after stopping it.
'stop'
Stop the output.
'susp'
Send a terminal stop signal.
'dsusp'
Send a terminal stop signal after flushing the input. Non-POSIX.
'rprnt'
Redraw the current line. Non-POSIX.
'werase'
Erase the last word typed. Non-POSIX.
'lnext'
Enter the next character typed literally, even if it is a special
character. Non-POSIX.

19.2.7 Special settings
-----------------------
'min N'
Set the minimum number of characters that will satisfy a read until
the time value has expired, when '-icanon' is set.
'time N'
Set the number of tenths of a second before reads time out if the
minimum number of characters have not been read, when '-icanon' is
set.
'ispeed N'
Set the input speed to N.
'ospeed N'
Set the output speed to N.
'rows N'
Tell the tty kernel driver that the terminal has N rows.
Non-POSIX.
'cols N'
'columns N'
Tell the kernel that the terminal has N columns. Non-POSIX.
'drain'
Apply settings after first waiting for pending output to be
transmitted. This is enabled by default for GNU 'stty'. It is
useful to disable this option in cases where the system may be in a
state where serial transmission is not possible. For example, if
the system has received the 'DC3' character with 'ixon' (software
flow control) enabled, then 'stty' would block without '-drain'
being specified. May be negated. Non-POSIX.
'size'
Print the number of rows and columns that the kernel thinks the
terminal has. (Systems that don't support rows and columns in the
kernel typically use the environment variables 'LINES' and
'COLUMNS' instead; however, GNU 'stty' does not know anything about
them.) Non-POSIX.
'line N'
Use line discipline N. Non-POSIX.
'speed'
Print the terminal speed.
'N'
Set the input and output speeds to N. N can be one of: 0 50 75 110
134 134.5 150 200 300 600 1200 1800 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400
'exta' 'extb'. 'exta' is the same as 19200; 'extb' is the same as
38400. Many systems, including GNU/Linux, support higher speeds.
The 'stty' command includes support for speeds of 57600, 115200,
230400, 460800, 500000, 576000, 921600, 1000000, 1152000, 1500000,
2000000, 2500000, 3000000, 3500000, or 4000000 where the system
supports these. 0 hangs up the line if '-clocal' is set.
