        SYNTAX

        char *ttyname (fildes)
        int fildes;

        int isatty (fildes)
        int fildes;


        DESCRIPTION

        Ttyname returns a pointer to a string containing the null-
        terminated path name of the terminal device associated with file
        descriptor fildes.

        Isatty returns 1 if fildes is associated with a terminal device.
        Otherwise, it returns 0.


        FILES

        /dev/*


        DIAGNOSTICS

        Ttyname returns a NULL pointer if fildes does not describe a
        terminal device in directory /dev.


        CAVEATS

        The return value points to static data whose content is
        overwritten by each call.  Subdirectories of /dev are not handled
        (e.g., /dev/sxt).
