tty_init_termios(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, say hi to tty_init_termios(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💅 — it's literally the helper for termios setup. that's the whole name vibe, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is giving:

void tty_init_termios (struct tty_struct *tty );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tty — the tty to set up 🫶. that's the one getting the termios glow-up, periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what it actually does: it initialises the termios structure for this tty ✨. and the tea is that this currently runs under tty_mutex, so we can be relaxed about ordering 😌. yes bestie, relaxed — that's the actual deal, not me being dramatic 💀.
