✨ NAME ✨

tty — bestie, this one prints the file name of the terminal that's connected to standard input. That's it. That's the whole job. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tty [OPTION]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you're sitting in a terminal, right, and you just wanna know which terminal you're actually in. Like the vibes are immaculate but what's the name?? 🫶

tty prints the file name of the terminal connected to standard input. One line in, one answer out. Iconic behaviour, no notes. ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -s, --silent — print nothing at all, queen of minding her own business 👑 — it only returns an exit status. That's it, that's the whole output.
  • -h, --help — prints the help. Ask and you shall receive, periodt.
  • -V, --version — prints the version. Gotta know which era of uutils you're living in 💜

🎀 VERSION 🎀

v(uutils coreutils) 0.12.0

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈
