Description

The illumos termios implementation is missing cfmakeraw which is provided on Linux, Mac OSX and the BSD's. I decided to come up with a patch (see attached) that implements it because I think it's cleaner than pasting it into the source of things that want it.

History

Updated by Albert Lee over 8 years ago

Are the struct termios members supposed to be private (i.e. implementation specific)? If so, by all means add this if it's the only way to set the flags without poking the structure.

Nope, http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/termios.h.html says the struct members are public. An extension to the public API when there is a trivial workaround would be against API conservatism, but since the extension is supported almost everywhere else...

The members of struct termios are not supposed to be private (afaik) but the steps required to put a termios into raw mode vary across platforms, which is the reason it was created.
