       NAME

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <stdlib.h>
             int ttyslot (void);

       DESCRIPTION
             ttyslot returns the index of the current user's entry in the
             /var/adm/utmp file.  The returned index is accomplished by
             scanning files in /dev for the name of the terminal associated
             with the standard input, the standard output, or the standard
             error output (0, 1, or 2).

          Files
             /var/adm/utmp

          Errors
             A value of -1 is returned if an error was encountered while
             searching for the terminal name or if none of the above file
             descriptors are associated with a terminal device.
