  Description     : Supply termios(3) methods to IO:Handle objects

This class extends the generic IO::Handle object class by providing methods which access the system's terminal control termios(3) operations. These methods are primarily of interest when dealing with TTY devices, including serial ports.

Linux supports a non-POSIX extension to the usual termios interface which allows arbitrary baud rates to be set. IO::Termios can automatically make use of this ability through the Linux::Termios2 module which is already in Debian as package liblinux-termios2-perl. This module will be used automatically and transparently to allow set*baud methods to set any rate allowed by the kernel/driver.
