TTY(1) TTY(1)
NAME
tty, logtty - get terminal name
SYNOPSIS
tty [ -s ]
logtty
DESCRIPTION
Tty prints the pathname associated with the standard input
file if it can be found in the directory, `nameless pipe/'
and a unique string if the file is a pipe, `not a tty' oth-
erwise. Option `-s' suppresses output, returning exit sta-
tus only.
Logtty prints the pathname associated with the terminal on
which the current session was logged in. If the login ter-
minal can't be found, `no login tty' is printed.
In a mux(9.1) window, tty reports the name of the window,
while logtty reports the name of the terminal. But see
BUGS.

DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is 0 if a real pathname was printed, 1 for `not
a tty' or `no login tty', 2 for a pipe.
BUGS
Mounting something atop the login terminal hides it from
logtty. Vismon(9.1) does this.
Try `tty </'.
