Also what do I do when I get an exception event - what does it mean, how do I understand that, are you proposing a standardized meaning ? Have you checked whether that conflicts with SuS v3 or POSIX ? What will it do with existing code. At the very least it probably has to be something you turn on, and you might then want to model it on the pty/tty interface logic and extend TIOCPKT a shade.
