NAME
       stty - change and print terminal line settings

SYNOPSIS
       stty [-F DEVICE] [--file=DEVICE] [SETTING]...
       stty [-F DEVICE] [--file=DEVICE] [-a|--all]
       stty [-F DEVICE] [--file=DEVICE] [-g|--save]

DESCRIPTION
       Print or change terminal characteristics.

       -a, --all
	      print all current settings in human-readable form

       -g, --save
	      print all current settings in a stty-readable form

       -F, --file=DEVICE
	      open and use the specified DEVICE instead of stdin

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       Optional	 -  before  SETTING  indicates negation.  An * marks non-POSIX
       settings.  The underlying system defines which settings are available.
