|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ctermid
|
|
.Nd generate terminal pathname
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <stdio.h>
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn ctermid "char *buf"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ctermid
|
|
function generates a string, that, when used as a pathname, refers to
|
|
the current controlling terminal of the calling process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar buf
|
|
is the
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer, a pointer to a static area is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, the pathname is copied into the memory referenced by
|
|
.Ar buf .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar buf
|
|
is assumed to be at least
|
|
.Dv L_ctermid
|
|
(as defined in the include
|
|
file
|
|
.Aq Pa stdio.h )
|
|
bytes long.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The current implementation simply returns
|
|
.Ql /dev/tty .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, a
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL
|
|
pointer is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The current implementation detects no error conditions.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr ttyname 3
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ctermid
|
|
function conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-88 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
By default the
|
|
.Fn ctermid
|
|
function
|
|
writes all information to an internal static object.
|
|
Subsequent calls to
|
|
.Fn ctermid
|
|
will modify the same object.
