NAME

       unlockpt - unlock a pseudoterminal master/slave pair

SYNOPSIS

       #define _XOPEN_SOURCE
       #include <stdlib.h>

       int unlockpt(int fd);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       unlockpt():
           Since glibc 2.24:
               _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 ||
                   (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED)
           Glibc 2.23 and earlier:
               _XOPEN_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       The   unlockpt()   function   unlocks  the  slave  pseudoterminal  device  corresponding  to  the  master
       pseudoterminal referred to by fd.

       unlockpt() should be called before opening the slave side of a pseudoterminal.

RETURN VALUE

       When successful, unlockpt() returns 0.  Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets errno appropriately.

ERRORS

       EBADF  The fd argument is not a file descriptor open for writing.

       EINVAL The fd argument is not associated with a master pseudoterminal.

VERSIONS

       unlockpt() is provided in glibc since version 2.1.
