Linux or UNIX - Find tty name

To find the name of the terminal (TTY) that you are currently using on a Linux or Unix system, you can use the tty command.

To use the tty command, open a terminal window and enter the following command:

tty

This will display the name of the terminal that you are using, such as /dev/pts/1 or /dev/tty1.

You can also use the echo command with the $TTY shell variable to display the name of the terminal. For example:

echo $TTY

This will display the same result as the tty command.

Keep in mind that the tty command and $TTY shell variable may not work on all systems or in all shells, and may not provide accurate or complete information about the terminal. For more information about using the tty command or $TTY shell variable, you can consult their documentation or seek assistance from a qualified Linux or Unix administrator.
