.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 Ar xx
|
|
and for which an entry exists
|
|
in the initialization file
|
|
.Pa /etc/ttys .
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr ttys 5 . )
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isatty
|
|
function
|
|
determines if the file descriptor
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
refers to a valid
|
|
terminal type device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ttyname
|
|
function
|
|
gets the related device name of
|
|
a file descriptor for which
|
|
.Fn isatty
|
|
is true.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ttyname
|
|
function
|
|
returns the name stored in a static buffer which will be overwritten
|
|
on subsequent calls.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ttyname_r
|
|
function
|
|
takes a buffer and length as arguments to avoid this problem.
|
|
.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.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ttyname_r
|
|
function returns 0 if successful.
|
|
Otherwise an error number is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ttyslot
|
|
function
|
|
returns the unit number of the device file if found; otherwise
|
|
the value zero is returned.

may fail and return the following error codes:

.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTTY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
argument
|
|
is not a valid file descriptor.
|
|
.It Bq Er ERANGE
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa bufsize
|
|
argument
|
|
is smaller than the length of the string to be returned.
