stty

Sets terminal properties

Format:

stty [ stty-args ]

Arguments:

stty-args

One or more UNIX stty command arguments as defined in the man page for your operating system.

Description:

The CLI stty command executes a UNIX stty command on the tty associated with the CLI window. This lets you set all of your terminal's properties. However, this is most often used to set erase and kill characters.

If you start the CLI from a terminal by using the totalviewcli command, the stty command alters this terminal's environment. Consequently, the changes you make using this command are retained within the terminal after you exit.

If you omit stty-args, the CLI displays information describing your current settings.

The output from this command is returned as a string.

Examples:

stty

Prints information about your terminal settings. The information printed is the same as if you had entered stty while interacting with a shell.

stty -a

Prints information about all of your terminal settings.

stty erase ^H

Sets the erase key to Backspace.

stty sane

Resets the terminal's settings to values that the shell thinks they should be. If you are having problems with command-line editing, use this command. (The sane option is not available in all environments.)
