NAME
ctermid, ctermid_r – generate terminal pathname
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
char *
ctermid(char *buf);
char *
ctermid_r(char *buf);
DESCRIPTION
The ctermid() function generates a string, that, when used as a pathname,
refers to the current controlling terminal of the calling process.
If buf is the NULL pointer, a pointer to a static area is returned.
Otherwise, the pathname is copied into the memory referenced by buf. The
argument buf is assumed to be at least L_ctermid (as defined in the include
file <stdio.h>) bytes long.
The ctermid_r() function provides the same functionality as ctermid()
except that if buf is a NULL pointer, NULL is returned.
If no suitable lookup of the controlling terminal name can be performed,
this implementation returns ‘/dev/tty’.
RETURN VALUES
The ctermid() function returns buf if it is non-NULL, otherwise it returns
the address of a static buffer. The ctermid_r() function always returns
buf, even if it is the NULL pointer.
ERRORS
The current implementation detects no error conditions.
SEE ALSO
ttyname(3)
STANDARDS
The ctermid() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (“POSIX.1”).
BUGS
By default the ctermid() function writes all information to an internal
static object. Subsequent calls to ctermid() will modify the same object.
