I saw "A Book On C" which says I can use "stty cbreak" (pp.25) in UNIX so that my C program will not wait for <CR> when it reads "stdin". I tried "stty cbreak" in sh, csh, and ksh in HP-UX (UNIX) and the system did not understand the command. Then, I tried the same command in Sun 4 (Sparc) and the command seems to work in Sun's UNIX. What's the equivalence of "stty cbreak" in HP-UX? K J Chang (415)857-4604

First off: If you are working with a C program you should not use the stty(1) command to set the terminal characteristics. Instead use the ioctl(2) system call with the appropriate parameters that are defined on the termio(7) manual page. Second: When you do make changes to the terminal characteristics make sure you do the following: save the current settings make your changes and later, just before you exit, reset the termina to the original settings >I tried "stty cbreak" in sh, csh, and ksh in HP-UX (UNIX) >and the system did not understand the command. Then, I It won't matter what shell you use since the stty command is not a "built-in" in any of the shells listed. The answer to your question is to RTFM (especially the stty(1) and termio(7) manual pages). stty -icanon should do what you want. -- Conor P.

Check out the "icanon" option to stty in the man page.
