When given no arguments,
.I stty
prints the current terminal parameters.
It can also be used to set the parameters, as follows:
.ta 0.25i 1i
.HS
	\fBcbreak\fP	\(en Enter \fIcbreak\fP mode; erase and kill disabled
.br
	\fBecho\fP	\(en Echo input on the terminal
.br
	\fBnl\fP	\(en Accept only line feed to end lines
.br
	\fBraw\fP	\(en Enter \fIraw\fP mode; no input processing at all
.br
	\fBtabs\fP	\(en Output tabs (do not expand to spaces)
.br
	\fBerase\fR c	\(en Set erase character (initially backspace)
.br
	\fBint\fR c	\(en Set interrupt (SIGINT) character (initially DEL)
.br
	\fBkill\fR c	\(en Set kill line character (initially @)
.br
	\fBquit\fR c	\(en Set quit (SIGQUIT) character (initially CTRL-\\)
.br
	\fBeven\fR	\(en Use even parity
.br
	\fBodd\fR	\(en Use odd parity
.br
	\fB[5-8]\fR	\(en Number of bits per character
.br
	\fB[110-9600]\fR	\(en Baud rate
.br
	\fBdefault\fR	\(en Set options back to original values
.HS
The first five options may be prefixed by \fB\(en\fP as in \fB\(entabs\fP
to turn the option off.
The next four options each have a single character parameter separated by a
space from the option.
The \fBdefault\fR option sets the mode and the four settable characters back
to the values they had when the system was booted.
It is useful when a rogue program has messed them up.
For convenience you can specify control characters as a two character
combination:  ^H for instance is a backspace.  The form ^? is a DEL.
