Author ttyname() help

Hello,
I am writing a Terminal Emulator, and for the Window Title I want
something like "termname -- shell -- ttysize -- ttyname." I have
everything figured out except for how to find the ttyname. There is a
function defined in unistd.h. I cannot get it to work right. Would
someone please give me an example?

Thanks

I presume you're using a pseudo-tty to communicate between the emulator
and the process running in it. Make sure you're calling ttyname() on
the *slave* end of the pty.
