ctermid —
#include <stdio.h>
char *
ctermid(char
*buf);
ctermid() function generates a string, that, when
used as a pathname, refers to the current controlling terminal of the calling
process.
If buf is the NULL
pointer, a pointer to a static area is returned. Otherwise, the pathname is
copied into the memory referenced by buf. The argument
buf is assumed to point to an array at least
L_ctermid bytes long (as defined in the include file
<stdio.h>).
The current implementation simply returns
‘/dev/tty’.
NULL pointer is
returned. Otherwise, a NULL pointer is returned and
the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
ctermid() function conforms to IEEE
Std 1003.1-1990 (“POSIX.1”).
ctermid() function writes all information
to an internal static object. Subsequent calls to
ctermid() will modify the same object.
