|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
function allocates a new pseudo-terminal and establishes a connection
|
|
with its master device.
|
|
A slave device shall be created in
|
|
.Pa /dev/pts .
|
|
After the pseudo-terminal has been allocated, the slave device should
|
|
have the proper permissions before it can be used (see
|
|
.Xr grantpt 3 ) .
|
|
The name of the slave device can be determined by calling
|
|
.Xr ptsname 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file status flags and file access modes of the open file description
|
|
shall be set according to the value of
|
|
.Fa oflag .
|
|
Values for
|
|
.Fa oflag
|
|
are constructed by a bitwise-inclusive OR of flags from the following
|
|
list, defined in
|
|
.In fcntl.h :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv O_CLOEXEC"
|
|
.It Dv O_RDWR
|
|
Open for reading and writing.
|
|
.It Dv O_NOCTTY
|
|
If set
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
shall not cause the terminal device to become the controlling terminal
|
|
for the process.
|
|
.It Dv O_CLOEXEC
|
|
Set the close-on-exec flag for the new file descriptor.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
function shall fail when
|
|
.Fa oflag
|
|
contains other values.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, the
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
function shall allocate a new pseudo-terminal device and return a
|
|
non-negative integer representing a file descriptor, which is connected
|
|
to its master device.
|
|
Otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
function shall fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ENFILE
|
|
The system file table is full.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The value of
|
|
.Fa oflag

|
is not valid.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
function conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .

|
The ability to use
|
|
.Dv O_CLOEXEC
|
|
is an extension to the standard.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|

The
|
|
.Fn posix_openpt
|
|
function appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.0 .
|
|
In
|
|
.Fx 8.0 ,
|
|
this function was changed to a system call.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The flag
|
|
.Dv O_NOCTTY
|
|
is included for compatibility; in
|
|
