STTY(HW) XENIX System V STTY(HW)
Name
stty - Sets the options for the video monitor.
Syntax
stty [ -a ] [ -g ] [ options ]
Description
stty sets certain terminal I/O options for the device that
is the current standard input; without arguments, it reports
the settings of certain options. With the -a option, stty
reports all of the option settings; with the -g option, it
reports current settings in a form that can be used as an
argument to another stty command. The following options
describe control modes for the video monitor and other
display devices attached to a display adapter. This
information is hardware specific; refer to stty(M) for
options generic to this utility. Additional details on the
modes described here can be found in screen(HW) and
keyboard(HW).
Control Modes for the Video Monitor
mono Selects the monochrome display as the output device
for the console screen. This mode is valid if a
standard monochrome adapter is present or if a
standard enhanced graphics adapter (EGA) is present
and the EGA is currently in one of the monochrome
display modes.
color Selects a standard regular color display as the
output device for the console screen. This mode is
valid if a color graphics adapter is present or if a
standard EGA is present and is currently in one of
the color graphics compatibility modes.
enhanced
Selects the enhanced color display as the output
device for the console screen. This mode is valid
if an EGA is present and is currently in a non-
monochrome display mode.
herc Selects the monochrome display as the output device
for the console screen. This mode is valid if a
Hercules monochrome graphics adapter is present and
is currently in a full monochrome graphics mode.
pro Selects the professional color display for the
output device for the console screen. This mode is
valid if a standard professional graphics adapter is
present.
Note that on systems with more than one display adapter, the
keyboard multiscreen switchings only work on the current

attached to a standard regular color display or an standard
enhanced color display, and an standard professional
graphics adapter (PGA) attached to a standard professional
graphics display.
CG320_D Selects EGA support for 320x200 graphics display
mode (EGA mode D).
CG640_E Selects EGA support for 640x200 graphics display
