NAME¶
cfmakeraw - set terminal raw mode
LIBRARY¶
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS¶
#define _DEFAULT_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <termios.h>
void cfmakeraw(struct termios *termios_p);
DESCRIPTION¶
cfmakeraw() sets the terminal to something like the "raw" mode of the old Version 7 terminal driver: input is available character by character, echoing is disabled, and all special processing of terminal input and output characters is disabled.
The terminal attributes are set as follows:
termios_p->c_iflag &= ~(IGNBRK | BRKINT | PARMRK | ISTRIP
| INLCR | IGNCR | ICRNL | IXON); termios_p->c_oflag &= ~OPOST; termios_p->c_lflag &= ~(ECHO | ECHONL | ICANON | ISIG | IEXTEN); termios_p->c_cflag &= ~(CSIZE | PARENB); termios_p->c_cflag |= CS8;
RETURN VALUE¶
- 0
- on success.
- -1
- on failure and set errno to indicate the error.
