Flags
^^^^^
-Line discipline methods have access to tty->flags field containing the
-following interesting flags:
-
-======================= =======================================================
-TTY_THROTTLED Driver input is throttled. The ldisc should call
- tty->driver->unthrottle() in order to resume
- reception when it is ready to process more data.
-
-TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP If set, causes the driver to call the ldisc's
- write_wakeup() method in order to resume
- transmission when it can accept more data
- to transmit.
-
-TTY_IO_ERROR If set, causes all subsequent userspace read/write
- calls on the tty to fail, returning -EIO.
-
-TTY_OTHER_CLOSED Device is a pty and the other side has closed.
-
-TTY_NO_WRITE_SPLIT Prevent driver from splitting up writes into
- smaller chunks.
-======================= =======================================================

+Line discipline methods have access to :c:member:`tty_struct.flags` field. See
+:doc:`tty_struct`.

+ * DOC: TTY Struct Flags
+ *
+ * These bits are used in the :c:member:`tty_struct.flags` field.
*
* So that interrupts won't be able to mess up the queues,
* copy_to_cooked must be atomic with respect to itself, as must
* tty->write. Thus, you must use the inline functions set_bit() and
* clear_bit() to make things atomic.
+ *
+ * TTY_THROTTLED
+ * Driver input is throttled. The ldisc should call
+ * :c:member:`tty_driver.unthrottle()` in order to resume reception when
+ * it is ready to process more data (at threshold min).
+ *
+ * TTY_IO_ERROR
+ * If set, causes all subsequent userspace read/write calls on the tty to
+ * fail, returning -%EIO. (May be no ldisc too.)
+ *
+ * TTY_OTHER_CLOSED
+ * Device is a pty and the other side has closed.
+ *
+ * TTY_EXCLUSIVE
+ * Exclusive open mode (a single opener).
+ *
+ * TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP
+ * If set, causes the driver to call the
+ * :c:member:`tty_ldisc_ops.write_wakeup()` method in order to resume
+ * transmission when it can accept more data to transmit.
+ *
+ * TTY_LDISC_OPEN
+ * Indicates that a line discipline is open. For debugging purposes only.
+ *
+ * TTY_PTY_LOCK
+ * A flag private to pty code to implement %TIOCSPTLCK/%TIOCGPTLCK logic.
+ *
+ * TTY_NO_WRITE_SPLIT
+ * Prevent driver from splitting up writes into smaller chunks (preserve
+ * write boundaries to driver).
+ *
+ * TTY_HUPPED
+ * The TTY was hung up. This is set post :c:member:`tty_driver.hangup()`.
+ *
+ * TTY_HUPPING
+ * The TTY is in the process of hanging up to abort potential readers.
+ *
+ * TTY_LDISC_CHANGING
+ * Line discipline for this TTY is being changed. I/O should not block
+ * when this is set. Use tty_io_nonblock() to check.
+ *
+ * TTY_LDISC_HALTED
+ * Line discipline for this TTY was stopped. No work should be queued to
+ * this ldisc.
