|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn grantpt ,
|
|
.Fn ptsname ,
|
|
.Fn unlockpt ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
functions allow access to pseudo-terminal devices.
|
|
The first three functions accept a file descriptor
|
|
that references the master half of a pseudo-terminal pair.
|
|
This file descriptor is created with
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn grantpt
|
|
function is used to establish ownership and permissions
|
|
of the slave device counterpart to the master device
|
|
specified with
|
|
.Fa fildes .
|
|
The slave device's ownership is set to the real user ID
|
|
of the calling process, and the permissions are set to
|
|
user readable-writable and group writable.
|
|
The group owner of the slave device is also set to the
|
|
group
|
|
.Dq Li tty
|
|
if it exists on the system; otherwise, it
|
|
is left untouched.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ptsname
|
|
function returns the full pathname of the slave device
|
|
counterpart to the master device specified with
|
|
.Fa fildes .
|
|
This value can be used
|
|
to subsequently open the appropriate slave after
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn grantpt
|
|
have been called.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn unlockpt
|
|
function clears the lock held on the pseudo-terminal pair
|
|
for the master device specified with
|
|
.Fa fildes .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
function opens the first available master pseudo-terminal
|
|
device and returns a descriptor to it.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
argument
|
|
specifies the flags used for opening the device:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv O_NOCTTY"
|
|
.It Dv O_RDWR
|
|
Open for reading and writing.
|
|
.It Dv O_NOCTTY
|
|
If set, do not allow the terminal to become
|
|
the controlling terminal for the calling process.

|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std grantpt unlockpt
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ptsname
|
|
function returns a pointer to the name
|
|
of the slave device on success; otherwise a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
function returns a file descriptor to the first
|
|
available master pseudo-terminal device on success;
|
|
otherwise \-1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn grantpt ,
|
|
.Fn ptsname ,
|
|
and
|
|

In addition, the

|
.Fn grantpt
|
|
function may set
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|

|
The

.Fn unlockpt
|
|
function has no meaning in

|
.Pp
|
|
The flag
|
|
.Dv O_NOCTTY
|
|
is included for compatibility; in

.Fx ,
|
|
opening a terminal does not cause it to become
|
|
a process's controlling terminal.
