lcase (-lcase) Set (unset)
xcase, iuclc, and olcuc.
LCASE (-LCASE) Same as lcase
(-lcase).
tabs (-tabs or tab3) Preserve (expand to spaces) tabs when printing.

# and @.
sane Reset all modes to some reasonable values.
term Set all modes suitable for the terminal type term, where term is one of

tty37, vt05, tn300, ti700,
hp,ortek.
Reporting Functions
size Print terminal window size to standard output in a rows-and-columns format.
+queryGSP Print the status of the Guardian Service Processor (GSP) of the console. This
function can be used only by the superuser. This feature is available only on
specific hardware.
Control Character Default Assignments
The control characters are assigned default values when the terminal port is opened; see termio (7). The
default values used are those specified by the System V Interface Definition, Third Edition (SVID3),
except for the
werase and lnext control characters, which are set to _POSIX_VDISABLE
to maintain
binary compatibility with previous releases of HP-UX.
The default values for the control characters may be changed by a privileged user by using
stty and
redirecting standard input to the device
/dev/ttyconf. Any of the four command forms specified in
the DESCRIPTION section above may be used. However, only the control character defaults will be
reported or altered. It will have no effect on the defaults for any of the other modes.
Note that these defaults will be used for all terminal ports in the system, except the system console (but
see getty (1M)), and the changes will not become effective for a particular port until it is (re)opened. The
default control character assignment will not work with the system console because the system console is
never closed while the system is running, and therefore cannot be reopened.
Care should be exercised when re-assigning the control character defaults. Control character values
should be tested with applications before assigning them as a default value.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LC_CTYPE determines the valid control characters for printing.
If
LC_CTYPE is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of
LANG is used
as a default for each unspecified or empty variable. If
LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string,
a default of "C" (see lang (5)) is used instead of LANG. If any internationalization variable contains an
invalid setting, stty behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C". See environ (5).
International Code Set Support
Single-byte character code sets are supported.
EXAMPLES
Example 1
Set the delete-line character to
ˆX (Ctrl-X) and the interrupt character to ˆC.
stty kill ’ˆX’ intr ’ˆC’
This command is usually found in a .login or .profile file so that ˆX and ˆC need not be set by
the user at each login session.
Example 2
Set the default values for the delete-line character to
ˆX (Ctrl-X), the interrupt character to ˆC, and the
word erase character to ˆW.
stty kill ’ˆX’ intr ’ˆC’ werase ’ˆW’ </dev/ttyconf
Any terminal port opened after this command is issued will see these new default values for the kill,
intr, and werase control characters.
