TTY(1) TTY(1)
tty - get the name of the terminal
tty [ -l ] [ -s ]
tty prints the path name of the user's terminal.
-l prints the synchronous line number to which the user's terminal is
connected, if it is on an active synchronous line.
-s inhibits printing of the terminal path name, allowing one to test
just the exit code.

0 if standard input is a terminal,
1 otherwise.
``not on an active synchronous line'' if the standard input is not a
synchronous terminal and -l is specified.

specified.
