|
|
|
|
|
.BR ptsname ()
|
2004-12-17 11:22:41 +00:00
|
|
|
function returns the name of the slave pseudo-terminal (pty) device
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding to the master referred to by

|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.BR ptsname_r ()
|
|
|
|
|
function is the reentrant equivalent of
|
|
|
|
|
.BR ptsname ().
|
|
|
|
|
It returns the name of the slave pseudo-terminal device as a
|
|
|
|
|
null-terminated string in the buffer pointed to by
|
|
|
|
|
.IR buf .
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.I buflen
|
|
|
|
|
argument specifies the number of bytes available in
|
|
|
|
|
.IR buf .

overwritten by subsequent calls.
