set-8-bit-input

Arguments:

Performs the UNIX ioctl that tells the terminal driver not to strip off the 8th bit from data input. This is equivalent to executing stty -istrip to the shell. Note that this function has a side effect on the terminal driver which remains in effect after the Lisp process has exited. To re-enable 8th bit stripping after the Lisp is exited, one can execute stty istrip at the shell.
