UNLOCKPT(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual UNLOCKPT(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.
unlockpt — unlock a pseudo-terminal master/slave pair
#include <stdlib.h> int unlockpt(int fildes);
The unlockpt() function shall unlock the slave pseudo-terminal device associated with the master to which fildes refers. Conforming applications shall ensure that they call unlockpt() before opening the slave side of a pseudo-terminal device.
Upon successful completion, unlockpt() shall return 0. Otherwise, it shall return −1 and set errno to indicate the error.
The unlockpt() function may fail if: EBADF The fildes argument is not a file descriptor open for writing. EINVAL The fildes argument is not associated with a master pseudo- terminal device. The following sections are informative.
