        SYNTAX

        tty [ -sl ]


        DESCRIPTION

        Tty prints the pathname of the user's terminal.  The -s option
        inhibits printing of the terminal pathname, letting you test just
        the exit code.  The -l option prints a message indicating whether
        or not your terminal is using a synchronous line.


        EXIT CODES

        2    Invalid options were specified
        0    Standard input is a terminal
        1    Otherwise



        _________________________________________________________________
        EXAMPLES

        $ tty


        Prints your terminal line number on the standard output.

        $ echo "TIME FOR LUNCH" > `tty`


        Prints the string "TIME FOR LUNCH" on your terminal.
        _________________________________________________________________


        DIAGNOSTICS

        "not a tty" if the standard input is not a terminal and -s is not
        specified.
