getttyent, getttynam, setttyent, endttyent - get ttys file entry
Návod, kniha: Library Functions Manual
#include <ttyent.h>
struct ttyent *getttyent(void);
struct ttyent *getttynam(const char *name);
int setttyent(void);
int endttyent(void);
These functions provide an interface to the file
_PATH_TTYS (e.g.,
/etc/ttys).
The function
setttyent() opens the file or rewinds it if already open.
The function
endttyent() closes the file.
The function
getttynam() searches for a given ttyname in the file. It
returns a pointer to a struct ttyent (description below).
The function
getttyent() opens the file _PATH_TTYS (if necessary) and
returns the first entry. If the file is already open, the next entry.
struct ttyent {
char *ty_name; /* terminal device name */
char *ty_getty; /* command to execute, usually getty */
char *ty_type; /* terminal type for termcap */
int ty_status; /* status flags */
char *ty_window; /* command to start up window manager */
char *ty_comment; /* comment field */
};
ty_status can be
#define TTY_ON 0x01 /* enable logins (start ty_getty program) */
#define TTY_SECURE 0x02 /* allow uid 0 to login */
Under Linux the file
/etc/ttys, and the functions described above, are
not used.
