grantpt(3) Library Functions Manual grantpt(3) grantpt - C (libc, -lc) #define _XOPEN_SOURCE #include int grantpt(int fd); glibc (. feature_test_macros(7)): grantpt(): glibc 2.24: _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 glibc 2.23 : _XOPEN_SOURCE The grantpt() function changes the mode and owner of the slave pseudoterminal device corresponding to the master pseudoterminal referred to by the file descriptor fd. The user ID of the slave is set to the real UID of the calling process. The group ID is set to an unspecified value (e.g., tty). The mode of the slave is set to 0620 (crw--w----). grantpt() , SIGCHLD. When successful, grantpt() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error. EACCES . EBADF fd .

POSIX.1-2001. UNIX 98 ( pts(4)). Historical systems implemented this function via a set-user-ID helper binary called "pt_chown". glibc on Linux before glibc 2.33 could do so as well, in order to support configurations with only BSD pseudoterminals; this support has been removed. On modern systems this is either a no-op --with permissions configured on pty allocation, as is the case on Linux-- or an ioctl(2). open(2), posix_openpt(3), ptsname(3), unlockpt(3), pts(4), pty(7) () Azamat Hackimov , Dmitry Bolkhovskikh , Vladislav , Yuri Kozlov , Kirill Rekhov ; GNU (GNU General Public License - GPL, 3 ) , - . - , , () () () <>.
