Program to set arbitrary speed

Can you add a simple license statement to the comment?

Great thanks for this piece of code! It solved my problem to set a baud rate of 74880 of the UART in my Raspberry Pi to communicate with an ESP8266.

Hi,
I ran this code, where I want to set baud rate of 1.2kbps.

./a.out /dev/ttys0 1200

and it run sucessfully but when I cross check its baud rate using

stty -F /dev/ttys0
speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
min = 1; time = 0;
ignbrk -brkint -icrnl -imaxbel
-opost -onlcr
-isig -icanon -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoctl -echoke

Here, it doesnt refelct the speed as I mention.
Can you please tell me where I did wrong ?
