The status lines ring and carrier detect are used by the modem to signal incoming calls (RING) or an established connection (CD). This is implemented as physical lines on a standard RS232 connection. However, the muxer protocol encodes these status lines as modem bits IC and DV. These incoming lines are masked by tty driver (see tty_io.c) and cannot be set by a user application. Allow setting RING via TIOCM_OUT1 and CD via TIOCM_OUT2 to allow implementation of a modem or modem emulator.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
