NAME
       tcgetattr - Get the parameters associated with the terminal

SYNOPSIS
       #include <termios.h>

       int tcgetattr(
	       int filedes,
	       struct termios *termios_p );

LIBRARY
       Standard C Library (libc)

STANDARDS
       Interfaces  documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
       dards as follows:

       tcgetattr():  XPG4, XPG4-UNIX

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page	 for  more  information	 about
       industry standards and associated tags.

PARAMETERS
       Specifies  an  open file descriptor associated with a terminal.	Points
       to a termios structure.

DESCRIPTION
       The tcgetattr() function gets the parameters associated with the object
       referenced  by  the  filedes  parameter	and stores them in the termios
       structure referenced by the termios_p parameter.

       If the device does not support split baud rates, the  input  baud  rate
       stored in the termios structure will be 0 (zero).

       The tcgetattr() function may be called from any process.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon  successful	 completion,  0	 (zero)	 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is
       returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The tcgetattr() function sets errno to the  specified  values  for  the
       following conditions:

       The filedes parameter is not a valid file descriptor.  The file associ‐
       ated with the filedes parameter is not a terminal.
