# Module `posix.termio`

Control Terminal I/O.

Functions and constants for controlling terminal behaviour.

## Functions

tcdrain (fd) | Wait for all written output to reach the terminal.
tcflow (fd, action) | Suspend transmission or receipt of data.
tcflush (fd, action) | Discard any data already written but not yet sent to the terminal.
tcgetattr (fd) | Get termios state.
tcsendbreak (fd, duration) | Send a stream of zero valued bits.
tcsetattr (fd, actions, a) | Set termios state.

## Tables

ccs | Control characters.
termios | Terminal attributes.

      ok, errmsg = tcsetattr (fd, 0, { cc = { [termio.VTIME] = 0, [termio.VMIN] = 1 })

## Tables

ccs
  Control characters. The field names below are not strings, but index constants each referring to a terminal control character.

  ### Fields:

  - VINTR int interrupt control character
  - VQUIT int quit control character
  - WERASE int erase control character
  - VKILL int kill control character
  - VEOF int end-of-file control character
  - VEOL int end-of-line control charactor
  - VEOL2 int another end-of-line control charactor
  - VMIN int 1
  - VTIME int 0
  - VSTART int xon/xoff start control character
  - VSTOP int xon/xoff stop control character
  - VSUSP int suspend control character
termios
  Terminal attributes. The constants named below are all available in this submodule's namespace, as long as they are supported by the underlying system.
