.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
These functions operate on the system file descriptors for terminal
|
||
|
|
type devices. These descriptors are not related to the standard
|
||
|
|
.Tn I/O
|
||
|
|
.Dv FILE
|
||
|
|
typedef, but refer to the special device files found in
|
||
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
||
|
|
and named
|
||
|
|
.Pa /dev/tty Ns Em xx
|
||
|
|
and for which an entry exists
|
||
|
|
in the initialization file
|
||
|
|
.Pa /etc/ttys.

The
|
||
|
|
.Fn isatty
|
||
|
|
function
|
||
|
|
determines if the file descriptor
|
||
|
|
.Fa fd
|
||
|
|
refers to a valid
|
||
|
|
terminal type device.
|
||

|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn ttyname
|
||
|
|
function
|
||
|
|
gets the related device name of
|
||
|
|
a file descriptor for which
|
||
|
|
.Fn isatty
|
||
|
|
is true
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn ttyslot
|
||
|
|
function
|
||
|
|
fetches the current process' control terminal number from the
|
||
|
|
.Xr ttys 5
|
||
|
|
file entry.
|
||
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn ttyname
|
||
|
|
function
|
||
|
|
returns the null terminated name if the device is found and
|
||
|
|
.Fn isatty
|
||
|
|
is true; otherwise
|
||
|
|
a
|
||
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
||
|
|
pointer is returned.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn ttyslot
|
||
|
|
function
|
||
|
|
returns the unit number of the device file if found; otherwise
|
||
|
|
the value zero is returned.

.Sh BUGS
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn ttyname
|
||
|
|
function leaves its result in an internal static object and returns
|
||
|
|
a pointer to that object. Subsequent calls to
|
||
|
|
.Fn ttyname
|
||
|
|
will modify the same object.
