NAME

6       termio - the System V terminal driver interface
7

DESCRIPTION

9       termio is the name of the old System V terminal driver interface.  This
10       interface defined a termio structure used to store  terminal  settings,
11       and a range of ioctl(2) operations to get and set terminal attributes.
12
13       The termio interface is now obsolete: POSIX.1-1990 standardized a modi‐
14       fied version of this interface, under the name  termios.   The  POSIX.1
15       data  structure differs slightly from the System V version, and POSIX.1
16       defined a suite of functions to replace the various ioctl(2) operations
17       that  existed in System V.  (This was done because ioctl(2) was unstan‐
18       dardized, and its variadic third argument does not allow argument  type
19       checking.)

22       most  of  the  information  that  you  seek  in  either  termios(3)  or
23       tty_ioctl(4).
