`stty`: Implement `--save` / `-g`

Open tertsdiepraam opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

From the GNU manual:

‘-g’
‘--save’
     Print all current settings in a form that can be used as an
     argument to another ‘stty’ command to restore the current settings.
     This option may not be used in combination with any line settings.

On my machine for example:

❯ stty --save
4100:5:bf:8a3b:3:1c:7f:15:4:0:1:0:11:13:1a:0:12:f:17:16:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0

I suspect this is some base 64 encoding of the bits in the Termios struct. Because this probably requires all the settings to be printed, this could be blocked by https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/3861.
