TERMIO(7)                     Linux Programmer's Manual                     TERMIO(7)

NAME         top

       termio - System V terminal driver interface

DESCRIPTION         top

       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 modified
       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 unstandardized, and its variadic third
       argument does not allow argument type checking.)

       If you're 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).
