Reply-To: John-Mark Gurney Sender: owner-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The following reply was made to PR bin/174; it has been noted by GNATS. From: John-Mark Gurney To: Mark Diekhans Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: bin/174 stty doesn't give very good output on error... Date: Mon, 10 Feb 1997 01:42:10 -0800 (PST) the bug can't be fixed unless there is some restructuring of stty... and this probably shouldn't happen... the resturcuring would require the options to be set one at a time... and doing an ioctl's for each option instead of just doing two [ioctl's] max like it currently is... IMHO doing multiple ioctl's could cause undesired behavior because all the flags weren't set at the same time... OTOH... it doesn't mean we can't add an option to do "debugging" but this would make stty more complex than it needs to be... comments?
