As Michael Reifenberger wrote: > Could we integrate a dump termio.h with wrappers to the termios > functions/structures into the sourcetree (a'la malloc.h)? Doesn't make much sense (and strictly spoken, termios is not downgradable to termio, since termio doesn't support the concept of distinct input and output speeds -- but neither does our hardware ;). Converting something from termio to the Posix-blessed termios is usually done in less than half an hour. The biggest difference aside from the appended `s' is usually that you gotta replace the ioctl cruft by tcgetattr()/tcsetattr(), and the speed stuff by cfsetspeed(). If your application requires more than half an hour to convert it, it's perhaps better to rewrite it instead. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
