OPTIONCOMMENTS

echo

Echoes every character typed.

-echo

Does not echo characters.

echoctl

Echoes control characters as ^X (Ctrl-X), where X is the character given by adding 100 octal to the code of the control character.

-echoctl

Does not echo control characters as ^X (Ctrl-X).

echoe

Echoes the ERASE character as the "backspace space backspace" string.

-echoe

Does not echo the ERASE character, just backspace.

echok

Echoes a NL character after a KILL character.

-echok

Does not echo a NL character after a KILL character.

echoke

Echoes the KILL character by erasing each character on the output line.

-echoke

Just echoes the KILL character.

echonl

Echoes the NL character.

-echonl

Does not echo the NL character.

echoprt

Echoes erased characters backwards with / (slash) and \ (backslash).

-echoprt

Does not echo erased characters backwards with / (slash) and \ (backslash).

icanon

Enables canonical input (canonical input allows input-line editing with the ERASE and KILL characters). See the discussion about canonical mode input in Line Discipline Module (ldterm) AIX Version 4.3 Communications Programming Concepts.

-icanon

Disables canonical input.

iexten

Specifies that implementation-defined functions shall be recognized from the input data. Recognition of the following control characters requires iexten to be set: eol2, dsusp, reprint, discard, werase, lnext. The functions associated with these modes also require iexten to be set: imaxbel, echoke, echoprt, and echoctl.

-iexten

Specifies that implementation-defined functions shall not be recognized from the input data.

isig

Enables the checking of characters against the special control characters INTR, SUSP and QUIT special control characters.

-isig

Disables the checking of characters against the special control characters INTR, SUSP and QUIT special control characters.

noflsh

Does not clear buffers after INTR, SUSP, or QUIT control characters.

-noflsh

Clears buffers after INTR, SUSP, or QUIT control characters.

pending

Causes any input that is pending after a switch from raw to canonical mode to be re-input the next time a read operation becomes pending or the next time input arrives. Pending is an internal state bit.

-pending

No text is pending.

tostop

Signals SIGTOU for background output.

-tostop

Does not signal SIGTOU for background output.

xcase

Echoes uppercase characters on input, and displays uppercase characters on output with a preceding \ (backslash).

-xcase

Does not echo uppercase characters on input.
