GRANTPT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GRANTPT(3)NAMEgrantpt - grant access to the slave pseudoterminalSYNOPSIS#define _XOPEN_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <stdlib.h> int grantpt(int fd);DESCRIPTIONThe grantpt() function changes the mode and owner of the slave pseudoterminal device corresponding to the master pseudoterminal referred to by fd. The user ID of the slave is set to the real UID of the calling process. The group ID is set to an unspecified value (e.g., tty). The mode of the slave is set to 0620 (crw--w----). The behavior of grantpt() is unspecified if a signal handler is installed to catch SIGCHLD signals.RETURN VALUEWhen successful, grantpt() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets errno appropriately.ERRORSEACCES The corresponding slave pseudoterminal could not be accessed. EBADF The fd argument is not a valid open file descriptor. EINVAL The fd argument is valid but not associated with a master pseudoterminal.VERSIONSgrantpt() is provided in glibc since version 2.1.CONFORMING TOPOSIX.1-2001.NOTESThis is part of the UNIX 98 pseudoterminal support, see pts(4). Many systems implement this function via a set-user-ID helper binary called "pt_chown". With Linux devpts no such helper binary is required.SEE ALSOopen(2), posix_openpt(3), ptsname(3), unlockpt(3), pts(4), pty(7)COLOPHONThis page is part of release 3.53 of the Linux man-pages project.
