Find Out Terminal Settings with stty

stty It may hardly seem appropriate to follow Chris Torek's learned article about how stty works () with some basics, but this tutorial is designed for beginners as well as those who already know everything. :-) () [Good idea, Tim. This is also a handy place to put the disc icon for the GNU version. ;^) -JP] So:

To find out what settings your terminal line currently has, type:

% stty

For a more complete listing, type:

% stty -a

on System V-ish systems, and:

% stty -everything

on BSD systems.

As Jerry Peek said in an editorial aside to Chris's article, be sure to have your stty manual page handy!
