NAME
     tty - return user's terminal name

SYNOPSIS tty [-s]

DESCRIPTION The tty utility writes the name of the terminal attached to standard in- put to standard output. The name that is written is the string returned by ttyname(3). If the standard input is not a terminal, the message ``not a tty'' is written. The options are as follows:

-s Don't write the terminal name; only the exit status is affected when this option is specified. The -s option is deprecated in favor of the ``test -t 0'' command.

Tty 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 function is expected to be IEEE Std1003.2 (``POSIX'') compatible.
