<p><a name="index-terminal-mode-data-types-1857"></a>
The entire collection of attributes of a terminal is stored in a
structure of type <code>struct termios</code>. This structure is used
with the functions <code>tcgetattr</code> and <code>tcsetattr</code> to read
and set the attributes.
<!-- termios.h -->
<!-- POSIX.1 -->
<div class="defun">
&mdash; Data Type: <b>struct termios</b><var><a name="index-struct-termios-1858"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>Structure that records all the I/O attributes of a terminal. The
structure includes at least the following members:
<dl>
<dt><code>tcflag_t c_iflag</code><dd>A bit mask specifying flags for input modes; see <a href="Input-Modes.html#Input-Modes">Input Modes</a>.
<br><dt><code>tcflag_t c_oflag</code><dd>A bit mask specifying flags for output modes; see <a href="Output-Modes.html#Output-Modes">Output Modes</a>.
<br><dt><code>tcflag_t c_cflag</code><dd>A bit mask specifying flags for control modes; see <a href="Control-Modes.html#Control-Modes">Control Modes</a>.
<br><dt><code>tcflag_t c_lflag</code><dd>A bit mask specifying flags for local modes; see <a href="Local-Modes.html#Local-Modes">Local Modes</a>.
<br><dt><code>cc_t c_cc[NCCS]</code><dd>An array specifying which characters are associated with various
control functions; see <a href="Special-Characters.html#Special-Characters">Special Characters</a>.
</dl>
<p>The <code>struct termios</code> structure also contains members which
encode input and output transmission speeds, but the representation is
not specified. See <a href="Line-Speed.html#Line-Speed">Line Speed</a>, for how to examine and store the
speed values.

<p>The following sections describe the details of the members of the
<code>struct termios</code> structure.
