| stty - set the options for a terminal |
SYNOPSIS
| /usr/xpg4/bin/stty [ -a | -g] |
| /usr/xpg4/bin/stty [modes] |
|
The stty utility sets certain terminal I/O options for the device that is the current standard input. Without arguments, stty reports the settings of certain options.
In this report, if a character is preceded by a caret (^), then the value of that option is the corresponding control character (for example, "^h" is Control-H; in this case, recall that Control-H is the same as the ``back-space'' key). The sequence "^" means that an option has a null value.
See termio(7I) for detailed information about the modes listed from Control Modes through Local Modes. For detailed information about the modes listed under Hardware Flow Control Modes and Clock Modes, below,
see termiox(7I).
Operands described in the Combination Modes section are implemented using options in the earlier sections. Notice that many combinations of options make no sense, but no sanity checking is performed. Hardware flow control and clock modes options may not be supported by all hardware interfaces.
|
|
The following options are supported:
- -a
- Writes to standard output all of the option settings for the terminal.
- -g
- Reports current settings in a form that can be used as an argument to another stty command. Emits termios-type output if the underlying driver supports it. Otherwise, it emits termio-type output.

Control Assignments
|
-
control-character c
- Set control-character to c, where:
-
control-character
- is ctab, discard, dsusp, eof, eol, eol2, erase, intr, kill, lnext, quit, reprint, start, stop, susp, swtch,
or werase (ctab is used with -stappl, see termio(7I)).
-
c
- If c is a single character, the control character will be set to that character.
In the POSIX locale, if c is preceded by a caret (^) indicating an escape from the shell and is one of those listed in the ^c column of the following table, then its value used (in the Value column) is the corresponding control character (for example, ``^d'' is a CTRL-D). ``^?'' is interpreted as DEL and ``^-''
is interpreted as undefined.
^c | Value | ^c | Value | ^c | Value |

The -g flag is designed to facilitate the saving and restoring of terminal state from the shell level. For example, a program may:
|
saveterm="$(stty -g)" # save terminal state
stty (new settings) # set new state
... # ...
stty $saveterm # restore terminal state
|
Since the -a format is so loosely specified, scripts that save and restore terminal settings should use the -g option.
|
|
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of stty: LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
|
|
The following exit values are returned:
-
0
- Successful completion.
-
>0
- An error occurred.
