TCSENDBREAK(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual TCSENDBREAK(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
tcsendbreak — send a break for a specific duration
#include <termios.h>
int tcsendbreak(int fildes, int duration);
If the terminal is using asynchronous serial data transmission,
tcsendbreak() shall cause transmission of a continuous stream of
zero-valued bits for a specific duration. If duration is 0, it shall
cause transmission of zero-valued bits for at least 0.25 seconds, and
not more than 0.5 seconds. If duration is not 0, it shall send zero-
valued bits for an implementation-defined period of time.
The fildes argument is an open file descriptor associated with a
terminal.
If the terminal is not using asynchronous serial data transmission,
it is implementation-defined whether tcsendbreak() sends data to
generate a break condition or returns without taking any action.
Attempts to use tcsendbreak() from a process which is a member of a
background process group on a fildes associated with its controlling
terminal shall cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal.
If the calling thread is blocking SIGTTOU signals or the process is
ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process shall be allowed to perform the
operation, and no signal is sent.
Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, −1 shall
be returned and errno set to indicate the error.
The tcsendbreak() function shall fail if:
EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.
EIO The process group of the writing process is orphaned, the
calling thread is not blocking SIGTTOU, and the process is not
ignoring SIGTTOU.
ENOTTY The file associated with fildes is not a terminal.
