To: hackers@freebsd.org (FreeBSD Hackers) Date: Tue, 7 Nov 1995 14:26:21 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Length: 568 Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm currently playing around with terminal I/O, and have noticed a discrepancy in an area in which there is no consensus anyway. I set CLOCAL on a line, and then close it, whereupon it promptly reverts to -CLOCAL. The result is that when I try to re-open it, it hangs waiting for a DTR* signal which, in this case, will never come. This is different from the standard BSD behaviour, which leaves the terminal flags the way they are on the last close, but it's the same as System V behaviour. Is it intentional or accidental? What do you think it should do? Greg
