NAME
       termio - the System V terminal driver interface

DESCRIPTION
       termio is the name of the old System V terminal driver interface.  This
       interface defined a termio structure used to store  terminal  settings,
       and  a range of ioctl(2) operations to get and set terminal attributes.

       The termio interface is now obsolete: POSIX.1-1990 standardized a modi
       fied  version  of  this interface, under the name termios.  The POSIX.1
       data structure differs slightly from the System V version, and  POSIX.1
       defined a suite of functions to replace the various ioctl(2) operations
       that existed in System V.  (This was done because ioctl(2) was  unstan
       dardized,  and its variadic third argument does not allow argument type
       checking.)

       If youre looking for page called "termio", then you can probably  find
       most  of  the  information  that  you  seek  in	either	termios(3)  or
       tty_ioctl(4).
