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 re- turned 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 af- fected when this option is specified. The -s option is depre- cated in favor of the "test -t 0" command. EXIT STATUS The tty utility exits 0 if the standard input is a terminal, 1 if the standard 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") compati- ble. HISTORY A tty command appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX. FreeBSD 13.2 June 6, 1993 TTY(1)
