          NAME
               ttyslot - find the slot in the utmp file of the current user

          SYNOPSIS
               int ttyslot ( )

          DESCRIPTION
               The ttyslot function returns the index of the current user's
               entry in the /etc/utmp file.  This is accomplished by actu-
               ally scanning the file /etc/inittab for the name of the ter-
               minal associated with the standard input, the standard out-
               put, or the error output (0, 1 or 2).

          FILES
               /etc/inittab
               /etc/utmp

          DIAGNOSTICS
               A value of 0 is returned if an error was encountered while
               searching for the terminal name or if none of the above file
               descriptors is associated with a terminal device.
