Additional Information
- Set Status is a wildcard call. Use it to handle device parameters that:
- Are not the same for all devices
- Are highly hardware-dependent
- Must be user-changeable
- The exact operation of the Set Status system call depends on the device driver and file manager associated with the path. A typical use is to set a terminal’s parameters for such functions as backspace character and echo on/off. The Set Status call is commonly used with the Get Status call.
- The Set Status function codes that are currently defined are listed in the “Set Status System Calls” section.
