ptsname - get name of the slave pseudo-terminal device SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h> char *ptsname(int fildes); DESCRIPTION
The ptsname() function returns the name of the slave pseudo-terminal device associated with a master pseudo-terminal device. fildes is a file descriptor returned from a successful open of the master device. ptsname() returns a pointer to a string containing the null-termi- nated path name of the slave device of the form /dev/pts/N, where N is a non-negative integer.
