10.46.43 ptsname_r ¶
POSIX specification:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/ptsname_r.html
Documentation:
Gnulib module: ptsname_r
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
- This function is missing on some platforms:
Mac OS X 10.12, FreeBSD 12.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 7.5, Minix 3.1.8,
AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 1.7.9, mingw,
MSVC 14.
- When this function fails, it returns -1 instead of the error code
on some platforms:
macOS 14, FreeBSD 14.0, Android 4.3.
- When this function fails with ERANGE, it stores an empty string as result
on some platforms:
NetBSD 10.0.
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
- When this function fails, it returns 0 and stores an empty string as result
on some platforms:
Cygwin 2.9.
Note: Portable programs should expect to find the error code as the
return value of this function, not as the value of errno.
This is needed for compatibility with musl libc and with the
forthcoming POSIX Issue 8.
