| |
| <p><a name="index-termios_002eh-1856"></a>This section describes the various terminal attributes that control how |
| input and output are done. The functions, data structures, and symbolic |
| constants are all declared in the header file <samp><span class="file">termios.h</span></samp>. |
| |
| <p>Don't confuse terminal attributes with file attributes. A device special |
| file which is associated with a terminal has file attributes as described |
| in <a href="File-Attributes.html#File-Attributes">File Attributes</a>. These are unrelated to the attributes of the |
| terminal device itself, which are discussed in this section. |
