NAME

   stty - change and print terminal line settings

SYNOPSIS

   stty [-F DEVICE | --file=DEVICE] [SETTING]...
   stty [-F DEVICE | --file=DEVICE] [-a|--all]
   stty [-F DEVICE | --file=DEVICE] [-g|--save]

DESCRIPTION

   Print or change terminal characteristics.

   Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory for short options
   too.

   -a, --all
          print all current settings in human-readable form

   -g, --save
          print all current settings in a stty-readable form

   -F, --file=DEVICE
          open and use the specified DEVICE instead of stdin

   --help display this help and exit

   --version
          output version information and exit

   Optional - before SETTING indicates negation.   An  *  marks  non-POSIX
   settings.  The underlying system defines which settings are available.
