SYNOPSIS

#include <termios.h>

int cfsetospeed(struct termios *terminal, speed_t speed);

DESCRIPTION

cfsetospeed is used to set a new output baud rate in the termios structure. ( terminal points to a copy of this structure.) This structure is defined in <termios.h> and contains terminal attribute information.

The tcgetattr function must be used to make a copy of the termios structure before you can use the cfsetospeed function to set the output baud rate. The cfsetospeed function changes the baud rate in this copy and the tcsetattr functions can then be used to update the termios control structure.

The defined type, speed_t , specifies the baud rate. Each value is associated with an asynchronous line speed as follows:

Return Value Baud Rate

B0 hang up

B50 50 baud

B75 75 baud

B110 110 baud

B134 134.5 baud

B150 150 baud

B200 200 baud

B300 300 baud

B600 600 baud

B1200 1200 baud

B1800 1800 baud

B2400 2400 baud

B4800 4800 baud

B9600 9600 baud

B19200 19,200 baud

B38400 38,400 baud

Return Value	Baud Rate
B0	hang up
B50	50 baud
B75	75 baud
B110	110 baud
B134	134.5 baud
B150	150 baud
B200	200 baud
B300	300 baud
B600	600 baud
B1200	1200 baud
B1800	1800 baud
B2400	2400 baud
B4800	4800 baud
B9600	9600 baud
B19200	19,200 baud
B38400	38,400 baud

RETURN VALUE

If successful, cfsetospeed returns 0 . A -1 is returned if unsuccessful.

PORTABILITY

The cfsetospeed function is defined by the POSIX.1 standard and provides portability between operating environments. Note that USS only supports pseudoterminals and that baud rate does not affect the operation of a pseudoterminal.

EXAMPLE

The following example illustrates the use of cfsetospeed to set a new output baud rate:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
   struct termios termAttr;
   speed_t baudRate;

      /* Obtain a copy of the termios structure for stdout. */
   tcgetattr(STDOUT_FILENO, &termAttr);
      /* Get the output speed.                              */
   baudRate = cfgetospeed(&termAttr);
      /* Set output speed if not 9600 baud.                 */
   if (baudRate != B9600) {
      cfsetospeed(&termAttr, B9600);
      tcsetattr(STDOUT_FILENO, TCSADRAIN, &termAttr);
   }
}
