   posix_openpt    ( 3 )

открыть псевдотерминал (open a pseudoterminal device)

Имя (Name)

posix_openpt - open a pseudoterminal device


Синопсис (Synopsis)

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

int posix_openpt(int flags);

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

posix_openpt(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600


Описание (Description)

The posix_openpt() function opens an unused pseudoterminal master device, returning a file descriptor that can be used to refer to that device.

The flags argument is a bit mask that ORs together zero or more of the following flags:

O_RDWR Open the device for both reading and writing. It is usual to specify this flag.

O_NOCTTY Do not make this device the controlling terminal for the process.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

On success, posix_openpt() returns a file descriptor (a nonnegative integer) which is the lowest numbered unused file descriptor. On failure, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.


Ошибки (Error)

See open(2).


Версии (Versions)

Glibc support for posix_openpt() has been provided since version 2.2.1.

Стандарты (Conforming to)

POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

posix_openpt() is part of the UNIX 98 pseudoterminal support (see pts(4)).


Примечание (Note)

Some older UNIX implementations that support System V (aka UNIX 98) pseudoterminals don't have this function, but it can be easily implemented by opening the pseudoterminal multiplexor device:

int posix_openpt(int flags) { return open("/dev/ptmx", flags); }

Calling posix_openpt() creates a pathname for the corresponding pseudoterminal slave device. The pathname of the slave device can be obtained using ptsname(3). The slave device pathname exists only as long as the master device is open.
