Does anybody know of a good source for elaborate TTY documentation? (besides the source code ;) ... that stuff confuses me) especially concentrating on documentation of the TIOC ioctl() calls and controlling TTYs and stuff...
Try any good book that talks about POSIX; the user-level programming interface for the Linux tty layer very carefully follows the POSIX standard. The POSIX standard is invalvulable as a reference material, but it's admittedly not the best tutorial book. I unfortunately can't recommend a good tutorial book, since I learned it by reading the POSIX standard and downloading its entire contents into my brain. Not everyone enjoys learning things that way, though. :-)
