-D Display or set the system default settings rather than those for
the current device. The system defaults are used when a device
is initially opened. The system defaults may be set only by the
superuser.
STANDARDS
The stty function is expected to be IEEE Std1003.2 (``POSIX'') compati-
ble. The -e and -D options are extensions to the standard. The slip,
tty and flushout keywords are extensions to the standard.
