TTY(1) General Commands Manual TTY(1) NAME tty -- return user's terminal name SYNOPSIS tty [-s] DESCRIPTION The tty utility writes the name of the terminal attached to standard input to standard output. The name that is written is the string returned by ttyname(3). If the standard input is not a terminal, the message "not a tty" is written. The options are as follows: -s Do not write the terminal name; only the exit status is affected when this option is specified. The -s option is deprecated in fa- vor of the "test -t 0" command. EXIT STATUS The tty utility exits 0 if the standard input is a terminal, 1 if the stan- dard input is not a terminal, and >1 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO test(1), ttyname(3) STANDARDS The tty utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 ("POSIX.2") compatible. HISTORY A tty command appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX.
