Description
tcsetattr() and tcgetattr() are documented to fail as follows:
Upon successful completion, the functions tcgetattr() and tcsetattr()
return a value of 0. Otherwise, they return -1 and the global variable
errno is set to indicate the error, as follows:
...
[ENOTTY] The file associated with the fd argument to
tcgetattr() or tcsetattr() is not a terminal.
which matches POSIX, but they do not set errno correctly:
$ cc -otcerror tcerror.c
$ ./tcerror
OK: tcgetattr on /dev/null failed as expected
FAIL: tcgetattr on /dev/null set errno incorrectly: Operation not supported by device
OK: tcsetattr failed as expected
FAIL: tcsetattr failure set errno incorrectly: Operation not supported by device

The same issue applies to tcdrain(), tcflow(), tcflush() and tcsendbreak().
