CTERMID(3) Linux Programmer's Manual CTERMID(3) NAME
ctermid - get controlling terminal name SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h> char *ctermid(char *s); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): ctermid(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE DESCRIPTION
ctermid() returns a string which is the pathname for the current controlling terminal for this process. If s is NULL, a static buffer is used, otherwise s points to a buffer used to hold the terminal pathname. The symbolic constant L_ctermid is the maximum number of charac- ters in the returned pathname. RETURN VALUE
The pointer to the pathname. CONFORMING TO
Svr4, POSIX.1-2001. BUGS
The path returned may not uniquely identify the controlling terminal; it may, for example, be /dev/tty. It is not assured that the program can open the terminal. SEE ALSO
