System User's Guide: Operating System and Devices

Displaying the Terminal Name (tty Command)

To display the name of your terminal, use the tty command.

For example, at the prompt, type:

tty

Press Enter.

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 5L Version 5.2 Commands Reference for the exact syntax.
