<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+ioctl">ioctl</A></B>(2)
call for terminals and serial ports accepts many possible command arguments.
Most require a third argument, of varying type, here called
<I>argp</I>
or
<I>arg</I>.
<P>
Use of
<I>ioctl</I>
makes for nonportable programs.
Use the POSIX interface described in
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+termios">termios</A></B>(3)
whenever possible.

<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H3>Locking the termios structure</H3>
The<BR>
<I>termios</I>
structure of a terminal can be locked.
The lock is itself a
<I>termios</I>
structure, with nonzero bits or fields indicating a
locked value.
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="9"><B>TIOCGLCKTRMIOS<TT>&nbsp;</TT>struct termios *</B><I>argp</I>
<DD>
Gets the locking status of the<BR>
<I>termios</I>
structure of the terminal.
<DT id="10"><B>TIOCSLCKTRMIOS<TT>&nbsp;</TT>const struct termios *</B><I>argp</I>
<DD>
Sets the locking status of the<BR>
<I>termios</I>
structure of the terminal.
Only a process with the
<B>CAP_SYS_ADMIN</B>
capability can do this.
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H3>Get and set window size</H3>
Window sizes are kept in the kernel, but not used by the kernel
(except in the case of virtual consoles, where the kernel will
update the window size when the size of the virtual console changes,
for example, by loading a new font).
<P>
The following constants and structure are defined in
<I>&lt;<A HREF="file:///usr/include/sys/ioctl.h">sys/ioctl.h</A>&gt;</I>.
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="11"><B>TIOCGWINSZ<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>struct winsize *</B><I>argp</I>
<DD>
Get window size.<BR>
<DT id="12"><B>TIOCSWINSZ<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>const struct winsize *</B><I>argp</I>
<DD>
Set window size.<BR>
</DL>
<P>
The struct used by these ioctls is defined as
<P>
struct winsize {
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;unsigned&nbsp;short&nbsp;ws_row;
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;unsigned&nbsp;short&nbsp;ws_col;
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;unsigned&nbsp;short&nbsp;ws_xpixel;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/*&nbsp;unused&nbsp;*/
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;unsigned&nbsp;short&nbsp;ws_ypixel;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/*&nbsp;unused&nbsp;*/
};
<P>
When the window size changes, a
<B>SIGWINCH</B>
signal is sent to the
foreground process group.
<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
<H3>Sending a break</H3>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="13"><B>TCSBRK<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>int </B><I>arg</I>
<DD>
Equivalent to<BR>
<I>tcsendbreak(fd, arg)</I>.
<BR>
If the terminal is using asynchronous serial data transmission, and
<I>arg</I>
is zero, then send a break (a stream of zero bits) for between
0.25 and 0.5 seconds.
If the terminal is not using asynchronous
serial data transmission, then either a break is sent, or the function
returns without doing anything.
When
<I>arg</I>
is nonzero, nobody knows what will happen.
<DT id="14"><DD>
(SVr4, UnixWare, Solaris, Linux treat
<I>tcsendbreak(fd,arg)</I>
with nonzero
<I>arg</I>
like
<I>tcdrain(fd)</I>.
SunOS treats
<I>arg</I>
as a multiplier, and sends a stream of bits
<I>arg</I>
times as long as done for zero
<I>arg</I>.
DG/UX and AIX treat
<I>arg</I>
(when nonzero) as a time interval measured in milliseconds.
HP-UX ignores
<I>arg</I>.)
<DT id="15"><B>TCSBRKP<TT>&nbsp;</TT>int </B><I>arg</I>
<DD>
So-called &quot;POSIX version&quot; of<BR>
<B>TCSBRK</B>.
It treats nonzero
<I>arg</I>
as a timeinterval measured in deciseconds, and does nothing
when the driver does not support breaks.
<DT id="16"><B>TIOCSBRK<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>void</B>
<DD>
Turn break on, that is, start sending zero bits.<BR>
<DT id="17"><B>TIOCCBRK<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>void</B>

<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="19"><B>FIONREAD<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>int *</B><I>argp</I>

<H3>Faking input</H3>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="23"><B>TIOCSTI<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>const char *</B><I>argp</I>

<H3>Redirecting console output</H3>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="24"><B>TIOCCONS<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>void</B>
<DD>
Redirect output that would have gone to<BR>
<I>/dev/console</I>
or
<I>/dev/tty0</I>
to the given terminal.
If that was a pseudoterminal master, send it to the slave.
In Linux before version 2.6.10,
anybody can do this as long as the output was not redirected yet;
since version 2.6.10, only a process with the
<B>CAP_SYS_ADMIN</B>
capability may do this.
If output was redirected already
<B>EBUSY</B>
is returned,
but redirection can be stopped by using this ioctl with
<I>fd</I>
pointing at
<I>/dev/console</I>
or
<I>/dev/tty0</I>.

<H3>Controlling terminal</H3>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="25"><B>TIOCSCTTY<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>int </B><I>arg</I>
<DD>
Make the given terminal the controlling terminal of the calling process.<BR>
The calling process must be a session leader and not have a
controlling terminal already.
For this case,
<I>arg</I>
should be specified as zero.
<DT id="26"><DD>
If this terminal is already the controlling terminal
of a different session group, then the ioctl fails with
<B>EPERM</B>,
unless the caller has the
<B>CAP_SYS_ADMIN</B>
capability and
<I>arg</I>
equals 1, in which case the terminal is stolen, and all processes that had
it as controlling terminal lose it.
<DT id="27"><B>TIOCNOTTY<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>void</B>
<DD>
If the given terminal was the controlling terminal of the calling process,<BR>
give up this controlling terminal.
If the process was session leader,
then send
<B>SIGHUP</B>
and
<B>SIGCONT</B>
to the foreground process group
and all processes in the current session lose their controlling terminal.

<H3>Exclusive mode</H3>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="31"><B>TIOCEXCL<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>void</B>

No further

(They fail with

<DT id="32"><B>TIOCGEXCL<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>int *</B><I>argp</I>

<DD>
Enable (when<BR>
*<I>argp</I>
is nonzero) or disable packet mode.
Can be applied to the master side of a pseudoterminal only (and will return
<B>ENOTTY</B>
otherwise).
In packet mode, each subsequent
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+read">read</A></B>(2)
will return a packet that either contains a single nonzero control byte,
or has a single byte containing zero ('&nbsp;') followed by data
written on the slave side of the pseudoterminal.
If the first byte is not
<B>TIOCPKT_DATA</B>
(0), it is an OR of one
or more of the following bits:
<DT id="37"><DD>
<PRE>
TIOCPKT_FLUSHREAD The read queue for the terminal is flushed.
TIOCPKT_FLUSHWRITE The write queue for the terminal is flushed.
TIOCPKT_STOP Output to the terminal is stopped.
TIOCPKT_START Output to the terminal is restarted.
TIOCPKT_DOSTOP The start and stop characters are <B>^S</B>/<B>^Q</B>.
TIOCPKT_NOSTOP The start and stop characters are not <B>^S</B>/<B>^Q</B>.
</PRE>
<DT id="38"><DD>
While this mode is in use, the presence
of control status information to be read
from the master side may be detected by a
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+select">select</A></B>(2)
for exceptional conditions or a
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+poll">poll</A></B>(2)
for the
<I>POLLPRI</I>
event.
<DT id="39"><DD>
This mode is used by
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+rlogin">rlogin</A></B>(1)
and
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?8+rlogind">rlogind</A></B>(8)

<DT id="40"><B>TIOCGPKT<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>const int *</B><I>argp</I>

<DT id="43"><B>TIOCGPTPEER<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TT>int </B><I>flags</I>
<DD>
(since Linux 4.13)<BR>
Given a file descriptor in

that refers to a pseudoterminal master,
open (with the given
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+open">open</A></B>(2)-style
<I>flags</I>)
and return a new file descriptor that refers to the peer
pseudoterminal slave device.
This operation can be performed
regardless of whether the pathname of the slave device
is accessible through the calling process's mount namespace.
<DT id="44"><DD>
Security-conscious programs interacting with namespaces may wish to use this
operation rather than
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+open">open</A></B>(2)
with the pathname returned by
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+ptsname">ptsname</A></B>(3),
and similar library functions that have insecure APIs.
(For example, confusion can occur in some cases using
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+ptsname">ptsname</A></B>(3)
with a pathname where a devpts filesystem
has been mounted in a different mount namespace.)

<P>
If the

signal is significant, and an

unless the

If

The software carrier flag is usually turned on for local devices,
