<h4 class="subsection">17.4.5 Output Modes</h4>
<p>This section describes the terminal flags and fields that control how
output characters are translated and padded for display. All of these
are contained in the <code>c_oflag</code> member of the <code>struct&nbsp;termios</code><!-- /@w -->
structure.
<p>The <code>c_oflag</code> member itself is an integer, and you change the flags
and fields using the operators <code>&amp;</code>, <code>|</code>, and <code>^</code>. Don't
try to specify the entire value for <code>c_oflag</code>&mdash;instead, change
only specific flags and leave the rest untouched (see <a href="Setting-Modes.html#Setting-Modes">Setting Modes</a>).
<!-- termios.h -->
<!-- POSIX.1 -->
<div class="defun">
&mdash; Macro: tcflag_t <b>OPOST</b><var><a name="index-OPOST-1884"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>If this bit is set, output data is processed in some unspecified way so
that it is displayed appropriately on the terminal device. This
typically includes mapping newline characters (<code>'\n'</code>) onto
carriage return and linefeed pairs.
<p>If this bit isn't set, the characters are transmitted as-is.
</p></blockquote></div>
<p>The following three bits are BSD features, and they exist only BSD
systems and the GNU system. They are effective only if <code>OPOST</code> is
set.
