<h4><a name="tag_03_578_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The <i>ptsname</i>() function shall return the name of the slave pseudo-terminal device associated with a master pseudo-terminal
|
|
device. The <i>fildes</i> argument is a file descriptor that refers to the master device. The <i>ptsname</i>() function shall
|
|
return a pointer to a string containing the pathname of the corresponding slave device.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <i>ptsname</i>() function need not be reentrant. A function that is not required to be reentrant is not required to be
|
|
thread-safe.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="tag_03_578_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Upon successful completion, <i>ptsname</i>() shall return a pointer to a string which is the name of the pseudo-terminal slave
|
|
device. Upon failure, <i>ptsname</i>() shall return a null pointer. This could occur if <i>fildes</i> is an invalid file descriptor
|
|
or if the slave device name does not exist in the file system.</p>
