✨ CFGETOSPEED — POSIX Programmer's Manual, section 3P ✨

okay bestie, so this is the CFGETOSPEED(3P) page from the POSIX Programmer's Manual and it's literally just one tiny little function that does one tiny little thing and honestly? we stan a focused icon 💅

🎀 PROLOG 🎀

so like, heads up before we go any further: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so if you're on Linux, pls pls pls go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior. OR, plot twist, the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all. 🙈 vibe check accordingly.

🌸 NAME 🌸

cfgetospeed — get output baud rate 🦋

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

#include <termios.h>

speed_t cfgetospeed(const struct termios *termios_p);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the way this works is: the cfgetospeed() function shall extract the output baud rate from the termios structure that the termios_p argument is pointing at. that's it. that's the whole job. main character energy but make it minimal. 👑

and like, important detail no cap: this function shall return exactly the value sitting in the termios data structure, without interpretation. no vibes applied, no opinions, no glow-up. just the raw value, periodt.

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

upon successful completion, cfgetospeed() shall return a value of type speed_t that represents the output baud rate. slay. ✨

---

🦋 ERRORS 🦋

no errors are defined. like literally none. she doesn't do errors, she's unbothered. 💅

just so you know, the following sections are informative — not normative, they're just here for the lore.
