NAME
       stty - change and print terminal line settings

SYNOPSIS
       stty [-F device] [--file=device] [SETTING]...
       stty [-F device] [--file=device] [-a|--all]
       stty [-F device] [--file=device] [-g|--save]

DESCRIPTION
       Print or change terminal characteristics.

       -a, --all
	      print all current settings in human-readable form

       -g, --save
	      print all current settings in a stty-readable form

       -F, --file
	      open and use the specified device instead of stdin

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       Optional	 -  before  SETTING  indicates negation.  An * marks non-POSIX
       settings.  The underlying system defines which settings are available.

       Handle the tty line connected to standard  input.   Without  arguments,
       prints  baud  rate, line discipline, and deviations from stty sane.  In
       settings, CHAR is taken literally, or coded as in  ^c,  0x37,  0177  or
       127; special values ^- or undef used to disable special characters.
