.SH BUGS
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The path returned may not uniquely identify the controlling
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
terminal; it may, for example, be
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR /dev/tty .
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.PP
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
It is not assured that the program can open the terminal.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.\" in glibc 2.3.x, x >= 4, the glibc headers threw an error
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.\" if ctermid() was given an argument; fixed in 2.4.
