.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The

|
||||
function returns the name of the slave pseudo-terminal device (pty)
|
||||
corresponding to the master pty referred to by
|
||||
function returns the name of the slave pseudo-terminal (pty) device
|
||||
corresponding to the master referred to by
|

.IR fd .
|
||||
|
||||
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 .
|
||||
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
||||
When successful,
|
||||
On success,
|
||||
.BR ptsname ()
|
||||
returns a pointer to a string in static storage. This pointer
|
||||
must not be freed.
|

|
||||
Upon failure,
|
||||
.BR ptsname ()
|
||||
returns a NULL pointer.
|
||||
returns a pointer to a string in static storage which will be
|
||||
overwritten by subsequent calls.
|
||||
This pointer must not be freed.
|
||||
On failure, a NULL pointer is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
On success,
|
||||
.BR ptsname_r ()
|
||||
returns 0.
|
||||
On failure, a non-zero value is returned
|
||||
and
|
||||
.I errno
|
||||
is set to indicate the error.
