NAME

POSIX::1003::Termios - POSIX general terminal interface

SYNOPSIS

  use POSIX::1003::Termios qw(:speed);
  $termios = POSIX::1003::Termios->new;
  $ispeed = $termios->getispeed;
  $termios->setospeed(B9600);

  use POSIX::1003::Termios qw(:functions :actions);
  tcsendbreak($fd, $duration);
  tcflush($fd, TCIFLUSH);

  $tty  = ttyname($fd);
  $tty  = ttyname($fh->fileno);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an interface to the "General Terminal Interfaces", as specified by POSIX. The actual implementation is part of POSIX.xs

METHODS

Constructors

POSIX::1003::Termios->new()

Create a new Termios object. This object will be destroyed automatically when it is no longer needed. A Termios object corresponds to the termios C struct.

  $termios = POSIX::1003::Termios->new;

Accessors

$obj->getattr([FD])

Get terminal control attributes (POSIX function tcgetattr). Pass a file descriptor, which defaults to 0 (stdin). Returns undef on failure.

  # Obtain the attributes for stdin
  $termios->getattr(0);
  $termios->getattr();

  # Obtain the attributes for stdout
  $termios->getattr(1);
$obj->getcc(INDEX)

Retrieve a value from the c_cc field of a termios object. The c_cc field is an array so an index must be specified. $c_cc[1] = $termios->getcc(1);

$obj->getcflag()

Retrieve the c_cflag field of a termios object. $c_cflag = $termios->getcflag;

$obj->getiflag()

Retrieve the c_iflag field of a termios object. $c_iflag = $termios->getiflag;

$obj->getispeed()

Retrieve the input baud rate. $ispeed = $termios->getispeed;

$obj->getlflag()

Retrieve the c_lflag field of a termios object. $c_lflag = $termios->getlflag;

$obj->getoflag()

Retrieve the c_oflag field of a termios object. $c_oflag = $termios->getoflag;

$obj->getospeed()

Retrieve the output baud rate. $ospeed = $termios->getospeed;

$obj->setattr(FD, FLAGS)

Set terminal control attributes (POSIX function tcsetattr). Returns undef on failure.

  # Set attributes immediately for stdout.
  $termios->setattr(1, TCSANOW);
$obj->setcc(VALUE, INDEX)

Set a value in the c_cc field of a termios object. The c_cc field is an array so an index must be specified. $termios->setcc(VEOF, 1 );

$obj->setcflag(FLAGS)

Set the c_cflag field of a termios object. $termios->setcflag( $c_cflag | CLOCAL );

$obj->setiflag(FLAGS)

Set the c_iflag field of a termios object. $termios->setiflag( $c_iflag | BRKINT );

$obj->setispeed()

Set the input baud rate. Returns undef on failure. $termios->setispeed( B9600 );

$obj->setlflag(FLAGS)

Set the c_lflag field of a termios object. $termios->setlflag( $c_lflag | ECHO );

$obj->setoflag(FLAGS)

Set the c_oflag field of a termios object. $termios->setoflag( $c_oflag | OPOST );

$obj->setospeed()

Set the output baud rate. $termios->setospeed( B9600 );

FUNCTIONS

tcdrain(FD)
tcflow(FD, ACTION)

See the possible ACTION values in "CONSTANTS", import tag :action

tcflush(FD, QUEUE)

See the possible QUEUE values in "CONSTANTS", import tag :flush
