Documentation for BeOS Terminal?

[W.Boeke]

Hi,

Some days ago I posted a question about Terminal, but got no response.
Probably this is because nobody knew the answer. Anyhow, I would be
very happy if someone could point me to documentation about the standard
BeOS terminal. Especially: which signals does it send, and what ioctl's are
supported?

Thanks in advance,
Wouter Boeke

It behaves like an ANSI tty.

Moreover, it behaves like a POSIX tty, so tcgetattr(3) is supported.
Probably the most expedient source of information about that is the
termios.h include file. Don't think you'll find anything for tab width.

You might zant to check /etc/termcap which gives the capabilities
it has (if you understand termcap).
