tty - return user's terminal name
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
tty
The
tty utility shall write to the standard output the name of the
terminal that is open as standard input. The name that is used shall be
equivalent to the string that would be returned by the
ttyname()
function defined in the System Interfaces volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001.
The
tty utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
None.
While no input is read from standard input, standard input shall be examined to
determine whether or not it is a terminal, and, if so, to determine the name
of the terminal.
None.
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
tty:
- LANG
- Provide a default value for the internationalization
variables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization
Variables for the precedence of internationalization variables used to
determine the values of locale categories.)
- LC_ALL
- If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of
all the other internationalization variables.
- LC_CTYPE
- Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of
bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
multi-byte characters in arguments).
- LC_MESSAGES
- Determine the locale that should be used to affect the
format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error and
informative messages written to standard output.
- NLSPATH
- Determine the location of message catalogs for the
processing of LC_MESSAGES .
Default.
If standard input is a terminal device, a pathname of the terminal as specified
by the
ttyname() function defined in the System Interfaces volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 shall be written in the following format:
Otherwise, a message shall be written indicating that standard input is not
connected to a terminal. In the POSIX locale, the
tty utility shall use
the format:
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
None.
None.
The following exit values shall be returned:
- 0
- Standard input is a terminal.
- 1
- Standard input is not a terminal.
- >1
- An error occurred.
Default.
The following sections are informative.
This utility checks the status of the file open as standard input against that
of an implementation-defined set of files. It is possible that no match can be
found, or that the match found need not be the same file as that which was
opened for standard input (although they are the same device).
None.
None.
None.
