tty

QNX SDP8.0Utilities ReferenceUtilities

Options:

-s: Be silent; output exit code only.

Description:

The tty utility shows the filename of a terminal connected to stdin. If there is no terminal, tty prints not a tty instead and exits with nonzero status.

This utility is provided as part of the toybox package. For information on how to enable it, see toybox.
