Add TIOCM_OUT1, TIOCM_OUT2, and TIOCM_LOOP constants to termios

[rruuaanng]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

This issue suggests adding new termios constants.

TIOCM_LOOP


example:

int fd = /* /dev/ttyS0 */
int status = /* modulator status */
status |= TIOCM_LOOP;

ioctl(fd, TIOCMSET, &status);
/* subsequent 'write()' will send data to 'fd' instead of the remote terminal device */

It's used to enable the serial port loopback mode, that is, the local tx will send messages to the local rx instead of the external device

TIOCM_OUT1
TIOCM_OUT2

It's suitable for the physical characteristics of the terminal equipment, such as interrupt and chip select output

for example, a library like this uses.
