     tty(1)                     DG/UX 4.30                      tty(1)



     NAME
          tty - get the name of the terminal

     SYNOPSIS
          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.
