GRANTPT(3)                 Linux Programmer's Manual                GRANTPT(3)

NAME
       grantpt - grant access to the slave pseudoterminal
SYNOPSIS
       #define _XOPEN_SOURCE       /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
       #include <stdlib.h>
       int grantpt(int fd);
DESCRIPTION
       The  grantpt()  function  changes the mode and owner of the slave pseu-
       doterminal device corresponding to the master  pseudoterminal  referred
       to by fd.  The user ID of the slave is set to the real UID of the call-
       ing process.  The group ID is set to an unspecified value (e.g.,  tty).
       The mode of the slave is set to 0620 (crw--w----).
       The  behavior  of  grantpt()  is  unspecified  if  a  signal handler is
       installed to catch SIGCHLD signals.
RETURN VALUE
       When successful, grantpt() returns 0.  Otherwise,  it  returns  -1  and
       sets errno appropriately.
ERRORS
       EACCES The corresponding slave pseudoterminal could not be accessed.
       EBADF  The fd argument is not a valid open file descriptor.
       EINVAL The  fd argument is valid but not associated with a master pseu-
              doterminal.
VERSIONS
       grantpt() is provided in glibc since version 2.1.
CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
       This is part of the UNIX 98 pseudoterminal support, see  pts(4).   Many
       systems  implement this function via a set-user-ID helper binary called
       "pt_chown".  With Linux devpts no such helper binary is required.
