Table 2–1: The stty Command Options for Controlling Terminal Line

Discipline

stty Option

Description

adec

Sets the terminal line discipline to handle multibyte data

and the processing environment appropriate for simplified

Chinese (Hanzi), traditional Chinese (Hanyu), and Korean

(Hangul) codesets. This option is supported for both the

STREAMS and BSD terminal drivers.

jdec

Sets the terminal line discipline to handle multibyte data

and the processing environment appropriate for Japanese

codesets. This option sets terminal code to dec and application

code to eucJP. The jdec option is supported for both the

STREAMS and BSD terminal drivers.

tdec

Sets the terminal line discipline to handle Thai characters and

the processing environment appropriate for the Thai codeset.

This option is supported only for the BSD terminal driver.

dec

Sets the terminal line discipline back to the default, or

standard, tty line discipline and clears characteristics that

preceding stty commands may have set for application

and terminal code. This option is supported for both the

STREAMS and BSD terminal drivers.

______________________ Note _______________________

Do not set the terminal line discipline to jdec or adec from a

console set up for kernel debugging (running the KDEBUG driver).

Doing so may cause the console to hang.

The stty command requires an appropriate locale setting to be in effect

before you can change the terminal line discipline to support that locale.

For example, to set your terminal line discipline to handle Korean, enter

the following:

% setenv LANG ko_KR.deckorean

% stty adec

To set your terminal line discipline back to the tty default, enter the

following:

% stty dec

______________________ Note _______________________

When your terminal line discipline is not set to the tty default

and you want to switch to another nondefault option (to switch

from jdec to adec, for example), first enter the stty dec

command to clear any application or terminal characteristics
