Versions of stty
BTW, there is another difference between Debian Potato and RedHat 6.2:
Debian:
stty [-F device] [--file=device] [SETTING]...
stty [-F device] [--file=device] [-a|--all]
stty [-F device] [--file=device] [-g|--save]
RedHat:
stty [setting...]
stty {-a,--all,-g,--help,--save,--version}
Apart from different settings (which I have not checked), Debian has
the very useful option "[-F device] [--file=device]" which allows you
to do stty to a file or device which would block on an ordinary open,
i.e. on a "stty < device". The -F makes stty do an O_NONBLOCK open on
the specified file.
What is the situation for other dists?
