.P
The above types shall be all unsigned integer types.
.P

in which the widths of
.BR cc_t ,
.BR speed_t ,
and

.BR long .
The names of these programming environments can be obtained using the
\fIconfstr\fR()
function or the
.IR getconf
utility.

header shall define the
.BR termios
structure, which shall include at least the following members:
