stty question

[march at m.cs.uiuc.edu]

How exactly does stty function?  Does it modify some kind of tty filter by
sending ctrl characters?  I have found some very strange scripts which
use stty in a way I thought not possible.  I don't have source or I would
have already found the answer.

				Thank you,
