39.Sh NAME
40.Nm tcsendbreak ,
41.Nm tcdrain ,
42.Nm tcflush ,
43.Nm tcflow
44.Nd line control functions
45.Sh SYNOPSIS
46.Fd #include <termios.h>
47.Ft int
48.Fn tcdrain "int fd"
49.Ft int
50.Fn tcflow "int fd" "int action"
51.Ft int
52.Fn tcflush "int fd" "int action"
53.Ft int
54.Fn tcsendbreak "int fd" "int len"
55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56The
57.Nm tcdrain
58function waits until all output written to the terminal referenced by
59.Fa fd
60has been transmitted to the terminal.
61.Pp
62The
63.Nm tcflow
64function suspends transmission of data to or the reception of data from
65the terminal referenced by
66.Fa fd
67depending on the value of
68.Fa action .
69The value of
70.Fa action
71must be one of the following:
72.Bl -tag -width "TCIOFF"
73.It Fa TCOOFF
74Suspend output.
75.It Fa TCOON
76Restart suspended output.
77.It Fa TCIOFF
78Transmit a STOP character, which is intended to cause the terminal to stop
79transmitting data to the system.
80(See the description of IXOFF in the
81.Ql Input Modes
82section of
83.Xr termios 4 ).
84.It Fa TCION
85Transmit a START character, which is intended to cause the terminal to start
86transmitting data to the system.
87(See the description of IXOFF in the
88.Ql Input Modes
89section of
90.Xr termios 4 ).
91.El
92.Pp
93The
94.Nm tcflush
95function discards any data written to the terminal referenced by
96.Fa fd
97which has not been transmitted to the terminal, or any data received
98from the terminal but not yet read, depending on the value of
99.Fa action .
100The value of
101.Fa action
102must be one of the following:
103.Bl -tag -width "TCIOFLUSH"
104.It Fa TCIFLUSH
105Flush data received but not read.
106.It Fa TCOFLUSH
107Flush data written but not transmitted.
108.It Fa TCIOFLUSH
109Flush both data received but not read and data written but not transmitted.
110.El
111.Pp
112The
113.Nm tcsendbreak
114function transmits a continuous stream of zero-valued bits for four-tenths
115of a second to the terminal referenced by
116.Fa fd .
117The
118.Fa len
119parameter is ignored in this implementation.
120.Sh RETURN VALUES
121Upon successful completion, all of these functions return a value of zero.
122.Sh ERRORS
123If any error occurs, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable
124.Va errno
125is set to indicate the error, as follows:
126.Bl -tag -width Er
127.It Bq Er EBADF
128The
129.Fa fd
130argument is not a valid file descriptor.
131.It Bq Er EINVAL
132The
133.Fa action
134argument is not a proper value.
135.It Bq Er ENOTTY
136The file associated with
137.Fa fd
138is not a terminal.
139.It Bq Er EINTR
140A signal interrupted the
141.Nm tcdrain
142function.

147.Sh STANDARDS
148The
149.Nm tcsendbreak ,
150.Nm tcdrain ,
151.Nm tcflush
152and
153.Nm tcflow
154functions are expected to be compliant with the
155.St -p1003.1-88
156specification.
