• TIOCSWINSZ struct winsize *ws set the winsize information
• TIOCCONS int *on redirect kernel console messages
• TIOCMSET int *state set the modem state bit flags according to the following:
  • TIOCM_LE Line Enable

The struct winsize *ws arguments use the winsize record:

   make-winsize free-winsize
   winsize-row winsize-col
   winsize-row-set! winsize-col-set!

The struct termios *term arguments use the term-attrs record from the stty egg.

The integer pointer arguments can be handled with pointers from the lolevel extension.
