@ page 1511 line 47115,47117 section tcflow objection [gwc tcflow pty]
Problem:
Defect code : 1. Error
The standard requires tcflow(fd, TCIOFF) to send a STOP character and
tcflow(fd, TCION) to send a START character regardless of whether fd
refers to a hardware terminal or a pseudo-terminal.
For pseudo-terminals flow control happens automatically anyway, so
there is no need for the STOP and START characters to be sent.
Most, if not all, pseudo-terminal implementations do not send the
characters and the standard should allow this.
Action:
Append to line 47115:
"If fildes is associated with a pseudo-terminal, the STOP
character need not be transmitted."
Append to line 47117:
"If fildes is associated with a pseudo-terminal, the START
character need not be transmitted."
