.Dd May 25, 2004 .Dt GRANTPT 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm grantpt .Nd grant access to a slave pseudo-terminal device .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n stdlib.h .Ft int .Fn grantpt "int fildes" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn grantpt function changes the mode and ownership of the slave pseudo-terminal device that corresponds to the master pseudo-terminal device associated with .Fa fildes to be owned by the real user id of the calling process, group id of .Dv tty . The permissions are set to readable and writable by owner, and writable by group. If the slave pseudo-terminal device was being accessed by other file descriptors at the time, all such access will be revoked. .Sh RETURN VALUES If successful, .Fn grantpt returns 0; otherwise a value of -1 is returned and .Va errno is set to indicate the error. .Sh ERRORS The .Fn grantpt function will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EACCESS the corresponding pseudo-terminal device could not be accessed. t Bq Er EBADF .Fa fildes is not a valid descriptor. t Bq Er EINVAL .Fa fildes is not associated with a master pseudo-terminal device. .El .Sh NOTES Setting the group to .Dv tty and revoking accesses by other file descriptors are .Nx extensions. Calling .Fn grantpt is equivalent to: d -literal ioctl(fildes, TIOCGRANTPT, 0); .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ioctl 2 , .Xr posix_openpt 3 , .Xr ptsname 3 , .Xr unlockpt 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn grantpt function conforms to .St -p1003.1-2001 . Its first release was in .St -xpg4.2 .
