.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions operate on the system file descriptors for terminal
|
|
type devices. These descriptors are not related to the standard I/O
|
|
.BR FILE
|
|
typedef, but refer to the special device named \fB.tty\fIxx\fR
|
|
and for which an entry exists
|
|
in the initialization file
|
|
.BR /etc/ttys .
|
|
(See
|
|
.BR ttys (5).)
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR isatty
|
|
function
|
|
determines if the file descriptor
|
|
.I fd
|
|
refers to a valid
|
|
terminal type device.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR ttyname
|
|
function
|
|
gets the related device name of
|
|
a file descriptor for which
|
|
.BR isatty
|
|
is true
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR ttyslot
|
|
function
|
|
fetches the current process' control terminal number from the
|
|
.BR ttys (5)
|
|
file entry.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.BR ttyname
|
|
function
|
|
returns the null terminated name if the device is found and
|
|
.BR isatty
|
|
is true; otherwise
|
|
a
|
|
.BR NULL
|
|
pointer is returned.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR ttyslot
|
|
function
|
|
returns the unit number of the device file if found; otherwise
|
|
the value zero is returned.

.SH HISTORY
|
|
A
|
|
.BR isatty ,
|
|
.BR ttyname ,
|
|
and
|
|
.BR ttyslot
|
|
function
|
|
appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.BR ttyname
|
|
function leaves its result in an internal static object and returns
|
|
a pointer to that object. Subsequent calls to
|
|
.BR ttyname
|
|
will modify the same object.
