GRANTPT(3)               BSD Library Functions Manual               GRANTPT(3)

NAME
     grantpt, posix_openpt, ptsname, unlockpt -- pseudo-terminal access functions

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdlib.h>

     int
     grantpt(int fildes);

     char *
     ptsname(int fildes);

     int
     unlockpt(int fildes);

     #include <stdlib.h>
     #include <fcntl.h>

     int
     posix_openpt(int oflag);

DESCRIPTION
     The grantpt(), ptsname(), unlockpt(), and posix_openpt() functions allow access to pseudo-terminal
     devices.  The first three functions accept a file descriptor that references the master half of a
     pseudo-terminal pair.  This file descriptor is created with posix_openpt().

     The grantpt() function is used to establish ownership and permissions of the slave device counterpart
     to the master device specified with fildes.  The slave device's ownership is set to the real user ID of
     the calling process; its permissions are set to user readable-writable and group writable.  The group
     owner of the slave device is also set to the group ``tty'' if it exists on the system; otherwise, it is
     left untouched.

     The ptsname() function returns the full pathname of the slave device counterpart to the master device
     specified with fildes.  This value can be used to subsequently open the appropriate slave after
     posix_openpt() and grantpt() have been called.

     The unlockpt() function unlocks the slave pseudo-terminal device associated with the master device to
     which fildes refers.

     The posix_openpt() function opens the first available master pseudo-terminal device and returns a
     descriptor to it.  The oflag argument specifies the flags used for opening the device:

     O_RDWR    Open for reading and writing.

     O_NOCTTY  If set, do not allow the terminal to become the controlling terminal for the calling process.

RETURN VALUES
     The grantpt() and unlockpt() functions return the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is
     returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

     The ptsname() function returns a pointer to the name of the slave device on success; otherwise a NULL
     pointer is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

     The posix_openpt() function returns a file descriptor to the first available master pseudo-terminal
     device on success; otherwise -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The grantpt(), ptsname(), and unlockpt() functions may fail and set errno to:

     [EINVAL]           fildes is not a master pseudo-terminal device.

     In addition, the grantpt() function may set errno to:

     [EACCES]           The slave pseudo-terminal device could not be accessed.

     The posix_openpt() function may fail and set errno to:

     [EINVAL]           oflag consists of an invalid mode bit.

     [EAGAIN]           The system has no available pseudo-terminal devices.

     The grantpt(), ptsname(), and unlockpt() functions may also fail and set errno for any of the errors
     specified for the fstat(2) system call.

     The posix_openpt() function may also fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the open(2)
     system call.
