> > What does the sys_errlist message 'Not a typewriter' *really* mean?? > This message crops up when you try to do an ioctl on a file descriptor that is not a terminal, for example: $ >/tmp/file # just create a normal file and $ stty 9600 </tmp/file # try to set it to 9600 baud stty: : not a typewriter -- Jim Webb ihnp4!houxm!hropus!jrw
