The following reply was made to PR threads/76938; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc@crodrigues.org> To: Tom McLaughlin <tmclaugh@sdf.lonestar.org> Cc: FreeBSD gnats submit <FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: threads/76938: include/unistd.h: ttyname_r prototype missing Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 12:37:24 -0500 Hi, One slight problem with adding the prototype for ttyname_r() to unistd.h...the implementation of ttyname_r() in FreeBSD is not POSIX-compliant. According to: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/ttyname.html the prototype should be: int ttyname_r(int fildes, char *name, size_t namesize); In src/lib/libc/gen/ttyname.c, we have: char *ttyname_r(int fd, char *buf, size_t len); I don't think it would be a big deal to fix this. It might be useful to reassign this PR to standards@. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
