.Dd May 25, 2004 .Dt PTSNAME 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm ptsname .Nd get the pathname of the slave pseudo-terminal device .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n stdlib.h .Ft char * .Fn ptsname "int masterfd" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn ptsname function returns the pathname of the slave pseudo-terminal device that corresponds to the master pseudo-terminal device associated with .Fa masterfd . The .Fn ptsname function is not reentrant or thread-safe. .Sh RETURN VALUES If successful, .Fn ptsname returns a pointer to a nul-terminated string containing the pathname of the slave pseudo-terminal device. If an error occurs .Fn ptsname will return .Dv NULL and .Va errno is set to indicate the error. .Sh ERRORS The .Fn ptsname 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 masterfd is not a valid descriptor. t Bq Er EINVAL .Fa masterfd is not associated with a master pseudo-terminal device. .El .Sh NOTES The error returns of .Fn ptsname are a .Nx extension. The .Fn ptsname function is equivalent to: d -literal struct ptmget pm; return ioctl(masterfd, TIOCPTSNAME, \*[Am]pm) == -1 ? NULL : pm.ps; .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ioctl 2 , .Xr grantpt 3 , .Xr posix_openpt 3 , .Xr unlockpt 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn ptsname function conforms to .St -p1003.1-2001 . Its first release was in .St -xpg4.2 .
