<p id="index-0">This module provides an interface to the POSIX calls for tty I/O control. For a
complete description of these calls, see <em class="manpage">termios(2)</em> Unix manual
page.  It is only available for those Unix versions that support POSIX
<em>termios</em> style tty I/O control configured during installation.</p>
<p>All functions in this module take a file descriptor <em>fd</em> as their first
argument.  This can be an integer file descriptor, such as returned by
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stdin.fileno()</span></code>, or a file object, such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stdin</span></code> itself.</p>
<p>This module also defines all the constants needed to work with the functions
provided here; these have the same name as their counterparts in C.  Please
refer to your system documentation for more information on using these terminal
control interfaces.</p>
<p>The module defines the following functions:</p>

list of the tty special characters (each a string of length 1, except the
items with indices <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">VMIN</span></code> and <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">VTIME</span></code>, which are integers when
these fields are defined).  The interpretation of the flags and the speeds as
well as the indexing in the <em>cc</em> array must be done using the symbolic
constants defined in the <a class="reference internal" href="#module-termios" title="termios: POSIX style tty control. (Unix)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">termios</span></code></a> module.</p>
