tty_encode_baud_rate(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for tty_encode_baud_rate(9) — yes, we're doing kernel tty baud-rate realness today, and it's giving very specific, very iconic 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

tty_encode_baud_rate — set baud rate of the tty 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void tty_encode_baud_rate (struct tty_struct *tty , speed_t ibaud ,
       speed_t obaud );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• tty — terminal device, the main character of this little operation 👑
• ibaud — input baud rate, aka the incoming speed vibe 💨
• obaud — output baud rate, aka the outgoing speed vibe ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what this does is update the current termios data for the tty with the new speed settings. That's the whole assignment, and it ate, no cap 🫶

But listen: the caller must hold the termios_rwsem for the tty in question. Not optional, not a suggestion, not a "maybe later" — the caller must hold it. Periodt 💅
