How exactly does stty function? Does it modify some kind of tty filter by
sending ctrl characters? I have found some very strange scripts which
use stty in a way I thought not possible. I don't have source or I would
have already found the answer.
Thank you,
Steve March

No, it performs a terminal-handler ioctl() system call, not a write(). Where in the manual the details of these particular ioctl()s are described varies from one version of UNIX to another; usually it's in the "device" section of the PRM.
