ttyslot(3C)                                                     ttyslot(3C)

NAME
     ttyslot - find the slot in the utmp file of the current user

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdlib.h>

     int ttyslot(void);

DESCRIPTION
     ttyslot() returns the index of the current user's entry in the
     /var/adm/utmp file. The returned index is determined by scanning files
     in /dev for the name of the terminal associated with the standard
     input, the standard output, or the standard error output (0, 1, or 2).

RESULT
     A value of -1 is returned if an error was encountered while searching
     for the terminal name or if none of the above file descriptors are
     associated with a terminal device.

FILES
     /var/adm/utmp
