@@ -50,6 +50,8 @@ The module defines the following functions:
operations are typically defined in the library module :mod:`termios` and the
argument handling is even more complicated.
+ The op parameter is limited to values that can fit in 32-bits.
+
The parameter *arg* can be one of an integer, absent (treated identically to the
integer ``0``), an object supporting the read-only buffer interface (most likely
a plain Python string) or an object supporting the read-write buffer interface.
