TERMIO(7)                                           Linux Programmer's Manual                                          TERMIO(7)



NAME
       termio - the System V terminal driver interface

DESCRIPTION
       termio  is  the  name  of  the old System V terminal driver interface.  This interface defined a termio structure used to
       store terminal settings, and a range of ioctl(2) operations to get and set terminal attributes.

       The termio interface is now obsolete: POSIX.1-1990 standardized a modified version of  this  interface,  under  the  name
       termios.  The POSIX.1 data structure differs slightly from the System V version, and POSIX.1 defined a suite of functions
       to replace the various ioctl(2) operations that existed in System V.  (This was done because ioctl(2) was unstandardized,
       and its variadic third argument does not allow argument type checking.)

       If  you're  looking  for page called "termio", then you can probably find most of the information that you seek in either
       termios(3) or tty_ioctl(4).
