NAME
TCSBRK, TCSBRKP, TIOCSBRK, TIOCCBRK - sending a break
LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <asm/termbits.h>\n /* Definition of \nT*BRK*\n constants */
\n#include <sys/ioctl.h>int ioctl(int \nfd\n, TCSBRK, int \narg\n);\n
\nint ioctl(int \nfd\n, TCSBRKP, int \narg\n);\n
\nint ioctl(int \nfd\n, TIOCSBRK);\n
\nint ioctl(int \nfd\n, TIOCCBRK);DESCRIPTION
- TCSBRK
Equivalent to tcsendbreak(fd, arg).
If the terminal is using asynchronous serial data transmission, and arg is zero, then send a break (a stream of zero bits) for between 0.25 and 0.5 seconds. If the terminal is not using asynchronous serial data transmission, then either a break is sent, or the function returns without doing anything. When arg is nonzero, nobody knows what will happen.
(SVr4, UnixWare, Solaris, and Linux treat tcsendbreak(fd,arg) with nonzero arg like tcdrain(fd). SunOS treats arg as a multiplier, and sends a stream of bits arg times as long as done for zero arg. DG/UX and AIX treat arg (when nonzero) as a time interval measured in milliseconds. HP-UX ignores arg.)
- TCSBRKP
So-called "POSIX version" of TCSBRK. It treats nonzero arg as a time interval measured in deciseconds, and does nothing when the driver does not support breaks.
- TIOCSBRK
Turn break on, that is, start sending zero bits.
- TIOCCBRK
Turn break off, that is, stop sending zero bits.
RETURN VALUE
On success, 0 is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
