stty: special characters

[tertsdiepraam]

GNU stty can list and change special terminal characters. This consists of two parts: printing and changing them. Printing is done in the following format:

intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; discard = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

and the following arguments change these characters:

Special characters:
 * discard CHAR  CHAR will toggle discarding of output
   eof CHAR      CHAR will send an end of file (terminate the input)
   eol CHAR      CHAR will end the line
