<span id="termios-posix-style-tty-control"></span><h1><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> — POSIX style tty control<a class="headerlink" href="#module-termios" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<hr class="docutils" id="index-0" />
<p>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(3)</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 <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-file-object"><span class="xref std std-term">file object</span></a>, 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>
<dl class="function">
<dt id="termios.tcgetattr">
<code class="descclassname">termios.</code><code class="descname">tcgetattr</code><span class="sig-paren">(</span><em>fd</em><span class="sig-paren">)</span><a class="headerlink" href="#termios.tcgetattr" title="Permalink to this definition"></a></dt>
<dd><p>Return a list containing the tty attributes for file descriptor <em>fd</em>, as
follows: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[iflag,</span> <span class="pre">oflag,</span> <span class="pre">cflag,</span> <span class="pre">lflag,</span> <span class="pre">ispeed,</span> <span class="pre">ospeed,</span> <span class="pre">cc]</span></code> where <em>cc</em> is a
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>

determines when the attributes are changed: <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TCSANOW</span></code> to change
immediately, <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TCSADRAIN</span></code> to change after transmitting all queued output,

output queue, or <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TCIOFLUSH</span></code> for both queues.</p>
