# Linux::Termios2(3pm)

wrap the Linux-specific "struct termios2" structure and related

## NAME

"Linux::Termios2" - wrap the Linux-specific "struct termios2" structure and related

## SYNOPSIS

This module is primarily intended as a helper for IO::Termios, but it could also be used directly.

```
 use Linux::Termios2;
 use POSIX qw( TCSANOW );
 my $termios = Linux::Termios2->new;
 $termios->getattr( 0 );
 $termios->setospeed( 123456 );
 $termios->setattr( 0, TCSANOW ) or
    die "Cannot TCSETS2 - $!";
```

## DESCRIPTION

This class provides an API equivalent to the POSIX::Termios class, except backed by the *Linux*-specific `"struct termios2"` structure instead.

It uses the `"TCGETS2"` and `"TCSETS2"` family of `ioctl()` calls, meaning it has access to the arbitrary baud rate ability of the `"c_ispeed"` and `"c_ospeed"` fields with the `"BOTHER"` baud setting. These are accessed transparently, by simply calling `"setispeed"` and `"setospeed"` with baud rates in bits per second.
