Description of the new feature/enhancement

As Linux terminals support those features I think it would add a lot to the terminal, if these features would be implemented

@DHowett-MSFT commented on GitHub (Mar 4, 2020):

Sorry, because ioctl and fcntl are API multiplexing APIs (that take action codes and do things with them) what you’re asking for pretty much amounts to “add some APIs for terminals.” We’ve already got a whole bunch of APIs.

If you’d be willing to describe the specific things you’re looking for, I’d be happy to listen.
