tty - return user's terminal name
tty [-s]
The tty utility writes the name of the terminal attached to standard in- put to standard output. The name that is written is the string returned by ttyname(3). If the standard input is not a terminal, the message "not a tty" is writ- ten. The options are as follows: -s Don't write the terminal name; only the exit status is affected when this option is specified. The -s option is deprecated in favor of the "test -t 0" command. The tty utility exits 0 if the standard input is a terminal, 1 if the standard input is not a terminal, or >1 if an error occurred.
