stty is used to set your terminal options. Following are some of the typical examples1. stty echo -iuclc The above command will switch off character display on your screen and ignore any case differences (ignore upper case and lower case). This can be used in situation where password is read and should not get printed on screen2. stty -erase '^H' This will set the erase character for your terminal3. stty -intr '^c' This will set the execution interrupt as control+c key 4. stty -eof '^d' This will set the end of file character as control+d key
