The grantpt() function changes the mode and ownership of the slave pseudo-terminal device associated with its master pseudo-terminal counterpart. The filedes argument is a file descriptor that refers to a master pseudo-terminal device. The user and group IDs of the slave are set to the real user and group IDs of the calling process. The permission mode of the slave pseudo-terminal is set to readable and writable by the owner, and writable by the group.
