Title Setting the ohpaged parameter.
Ref. No. QNX.000009441
Category(ies) Utilities, Character I/O
Issue What sets the Dev32.ser driver's ohpaged parameter to "+" in one of the serial ports? Can this parameter be set to a constant "-"  value?
Solution The -F option in Dev.ser can be used to disable locked hardware flow control on a specific port. The syntax is:

Dev.ser [[-F]...[portspec]]..&

Disabling the lock on flow control means that other application programs can change the flow control modes. -f enables hardware flow control and locks it on, so only stty can change the flow control modes.

stty [-ohpaged] [<device] can be used to stop output from being paged by hardware flow control.

stty [-ohflow] [<device] can be used to disable hardware output flow control.

If hardware flow control is disabled, software flow control should be used.
