Control Assignments
speci al_character string
Sets spec i al_character to string. The special character is set to the first character in
string and subsequent characters are ignored, with the following exceptions:
• The string s undef and ˆ- set the special character to {_POSIX_VDISABLE} if
it is in effect for the device.
• The string ˆ? sets the special character to <Delete>.
• Any other string beginning with the character ˆ sets the special character to the
control character corresponding to the second character of string (subsequent
characters are ignored). For example, the string ˆc sets the special character to
^C; the string ˆzq sets the special character to ˆZ.
Note that you can set a special character to a control character in two ways: by
entering the control character itself or by entering ˆ and another character.
This allows you to enter a control character that is already assigned to a special
character without entering that special character; for example, you can enter
^C, even if it is already assigned to the intr special character, by entering ˆ and
then c.
Recognized special_c haracters include dsusp, eof, eol, eol2, erase, discard,
status, intr, kill, lnext, quit, reprint, start, stop, susp, and werase.
