<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"><a class="manpage reference external" href="https://manpages.debian.org/termios(3)">termios(3)</a></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>
<div class="availability docutils container">
<p><a class="reference internal" href="intro.html#availability"><span class="std std-ref">Availability</span></a>: Unix.</p>
</div>
<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>
