AIX Version 4.3 System User's Guide: Operating System and Devices

Displaying the Name of Your Terminal (tty Command)

The tty command displays the name of your terminal.

For example, at the prompt, enter:

tty

The system displays information similar to the following:

/dev/tty06

In this example, tty06 is the name of the terminal, and /dev/tty06 is the device file that contains the interface to this terminal.

See the tty command in the AIX Version 4.3 Commands Reference for the exact syntax.
