[Info-vax] Getting state of Control-T from a C program.

[Paul Raulerson]

Do a man on "stty" - you can view and set all the terminal line  
control information from there.  Some terminal capabilities are  
defined in the terminfo/termcap
database for those terminals, but the line controls are by session,  
and controlled with stty. There is also a programatic interface to  
these settings.
