GRANTPT(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual GRANTPT(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
grantpt — grant access to the slave pseudo-terminal device
#include <stdlib.h>
int grantpt(int fildes);
The grantpt() function shall change the mode and ownership of the
slave pseudo-terminal device associated with its master pseudo-
terminal counterpart. The fildes argument is a file descriptor that
refers to a master pseudo-terminal device. The user ID of the slave
shall be set to the real UID of the calling process and the group ID
shall be set to an unspecified group ID. The permission mode of the
slave pseudo-terminal shall be set to readable and writable by the
owner, and writable by the group.
The behavior of the grantpt() function is unspecified if the
application has installed a signal handler to catch SIGCHLD signals.
Upon successful completion, grantpt() shall return 0; otherwise, it
shall return −1 and set errno to indicate the error.
The grantpt() function may fail if:
EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid open file descriptor.
EINVAL The fildes argument is not associated with a master pseudo-
terminal device.
EACCES The corresponding slave pseudo-terminal device could not be
accessed.
