Line control ------------ The line control functions are not really supported by old Minix tty drivers, and the fake versions in this implementation can not do much to get around this. It may be best to leave the following modules out of the library: tcdrain.$O tcflow.$O tcflush.$O tcsendbreak.$O Then the linker will complain about missing routines, and you can look at these routines to decide whether they are good enough for a particular application. tcflush() works in some cases. None of these routines is POSIX as POSIX doesn't specify ENOSYS as a valid return value for any of them.
