termio(7)                         Miscellaneous Information Manual                         termio(7)

NAME
       termio - 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 Sys‐
       tem V version, and POSIX.1 defined a suite of functions to replace the various ioctl(2) oper‐
       ations 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 a page called "termio", then you can probably find most of the informa‐
       tion that you seek in either termios(3) or ioctl_tty(2).
