TCFLOW(3P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		    TCFLOW(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       tcflow — suspend or restart the transmission or reception of data

SYNOPSIS
       #include <termios.h>

       int tcflow(int fildes, int action);

DESCRIPTION
       The tcflow() function shall suspend or restart transmission  or	recep‐
       tion  of	 data  on  the	object referred to by fildes, depending on the
       value of action.	 The fildes argument is an open file descriptor	 asso‐
       ciated with a terminal.

	*  If action is TCOOFF, output shall be suspended.

	*  If action is TCOON, suspended output shall be restarted.

	*  If  action  is  TCIOFF  and fildes refers to a terminal device, the
	   system shall transmit a STOP character, which is intended to	 cause
	   the	terminal  device  to  stop transmitting data to the system. If
	   fildes is associated with a	pseudo-terminal,  the  STOP  character
	   need not be transmitted.

	*  If action is TCION and fildes refers to a terminal device, the sys‐
	   tem shall transmit a START character, which is  intended  to	 cause
	   the	terminal  device  to start transmitting data to the system. If
	   fildes is associated with a pseudo-terminal,	 the  START  character
	   need not be transmitted.

       The default on the opening of a terminal file is that neither its input
       nor its output are suspended.

       Attempts to use tcflow() from a process which is a member  of  a	 back‐
       ground process group on a fildes associated with its controlling termi‐
       nal, shall cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal.	If the
       calling	thread	is blocking SIGTTOU signals or the process is ignoring
       SIGTTOU signals, the process shall be allowed to perform the operation,
       and no signal is sent.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, −1 shall be
       returned and errno set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The tcflow() function shall fail if:

       EBADF  The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.

       EINVAL The action argument is not a supported value.

       EIO    The process group of the writing process is orphaned, the	 call‐
	      ing  thread  is  not  blocking  SIGTTOU,	and the process is not
	      ignoring SIGTTOU.

       ENOTTY The file associated with fildes is not a terminal.
