.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn openpty ,
|
||
|
|
.Fn login_tty ,
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fn login_tty
|
||
|
|
functions perform manipulations on ttys and pseudo-ttys.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn openpty
|
||
|
|
function finds an available pseudo-tty and returns file descriptors
|
||
|
|
for the master and slave in
|
||
|
|
.Fa amaster
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fa aslave .
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa name
|
||
|
|
is non-null, the filename of the slave is returned in
|
||
|
|
.Fa name .
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa termp
|
||
|
|
is non-null, the terminal parameters of the slave will be set to the
|
||
|
|
values in
|
||
|
|
.Fa termp .
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa winp
|
||
|
|
is non-null, the window size of the slave will be set to the values in
|
||
|
|
.Fa winp .
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn login_tty
|
||
|
|
function prepares for a login on the tty
|
||
|
|
.Fa fd
|
||
|
|
(which may be a real tty device, or the slave of a pseudo-tty as
|
||
|
|
returned by
|
||
|
|
.Fn openpty )
|
||
|
|
by creating a new session, making
|
||
|
|
.Fa fd
|
||
|
|
the controlling terminal for the current process, setting
|
||
|
|
.Fa fd
|
||
|
|
to be the standard input, output, and error streams of the current
|
||
|
|
process, and closing
|
||
|
|
.Fa fd .
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn forkpty
|
||
|
|
function combines
|
||
|
|
.Fn openpty ,
|
||
|
|
.Fn fork ,
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fn login_tty
|
||
|
|
to creates a new process operating in a pseudo-tty. The file
|
||
|
|
descriptor of the master side of the pseudo-tty is returned in
|
||
|
|
.Fa amaster ,
|
||
|
|
and the filename of the slave in
|
||
|
|
.Fa name
|
||
|
|
if it is non-null. The
|
||
|
|
.Fa termp
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fa winp
|
||
|
|
parameters, if non-null, will determine the terminal attributes and
|
||
|
|
window size of the slave side of the pseudo-tty.
|
||
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
If a call to
|
||
|
|
.Fn openpty ,
|
||
|
|
.Fn login_tty ,
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.fn forkpty
|
||
|
|
is not successful, -1 is returned and
|
||
|
|
.Va errno
|
||
|
|
is set to indicate the error. Otherwise, they return 0.
|
||
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
||
|
|
.Fn openpty
|
||
|
|
will fail if:
|
||
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
||
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOENT
|
||
|
|
There are no available ttys.
|
||
|
|
.El
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Fn login_tty
|
||
|
|
will fail if
|
||
|
|
.Fn ioctl
|
||
|
|
fails to set
|
||
|
|
.Fa fd
|
||
|
|
to the controlling terminal of the current process.
|
||
|
|
.Fn forkpty
|
||
|
|
will fail if either
|
||
|
|
.Fn openpty
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.Fn fork
|
||
|
|
fails.

.Sh BUGS
|
||
|
|
The names of the virtual consoles for the i386 PCVT console driver
|
||
|
|
conflict with what would be the seventh group of pseudo-ttys, so
|
||
|
|
.Fn openpty
|
||
|
|
skips
|
||
|
|
.Pa /dev/[pt]tyv[0123456789abcdef]
|
||
|
|
while looking for pseudo-ttys.
