The entire world seems to use the non-standard TIOCSCTTY ioctl to make a TTY a controlling terminal of a session. Even though tcsetsid(3) is also non-standard, I think it's a lot better to use in our own source code, mainly because it's similar to tcsetpgrp(), tcgetpgrp() and tcgetsid(). I stole the idea from QNX. They do it the other way around; their TIOCSCTTY is just a wrapper around tcsetsid(). tcsetsid() then calls into an IPC framework.

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm tcsetsid
|
|
.Nd set session ID associated with a controlling terminal
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In termios.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn tcsetsid "int fd" "pid_t pid"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn tcsetsid
|
|
function sets associates a session identified by
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
with a controlling terminal specified by
|
|
.Fa fd .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This implementation only allows the controlling terminal to be changed
|
|
by the session leader itself.
|
|
This implies that
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
always has to be equal to the process ID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is unsupported to associate with a terminal that already has an
|
|
associated session.
|
|
Conversely, it is also unsupported to associate to a terminal when
|
|
the session is already associated with a different terminal.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
If an error occurs,
|
|
.Fn tcsetsid
|
|
returns -1 and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error, as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
argument is not a valid file descriptor.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTTY
|
|
The file descriptor represented by
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
is not a terminal.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
argument is not equal to the session ID of the calling process.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The calling process is not a session leader.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The session already has an associated terminal or the terminal already
|
|
has an associated session.
