stty -F with no argument should cause an error, or the man page should
say what it does.
P.S.,
`-F DEVICE'
`--file=DEVICE'
Set the line opened by the filename specified in DEVICE instead of
the tty line connected to standard input. This option is necessary
because opening a POSIX tty requires use of the `O_NONDELAY' flag
to prevent a POSIX tty from blocking until the carrier detect line
is high if the `clocal' flag is not set. Hence, it is not always
possible to allow the shell to open the device in the traditional
manner.
I'm not even sure you mention what the traditional manner is/was.
I think it is stty yyy > /dev/xxx.
Anyway, mention the traditional manner, and move the justification
argument to some note at the end of the documentation, perhaps.
