π TTY(1) π
okay so bestie, welcome to TTY(1) β one of those pages from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew. it's short. like, really short. but that's the vibe, and honestly? it ate. π
β¨ NAME β¨
tty β return user's terminal name π₯οΈβ¨
that's it. that's the whole thing. the entire page is this one little line and it's lowkey iconic for it. no cap, this is the main character of "manpages that get straight to the point." π«Ά
so if you ever need the name of the user's terminal, tty is the one to call β she returns it, periodt. πΈ
ngl there are no OPTIONS, no ENVIRONMENT variables, no EXIT STATUS, no files, no examples up in here β just the one glorious NAME section. i checked. twice. ππ
and that's a wrap on TTY(1), bestie!! π¦ this little beauty ships as part of perl v5.42.2, dated 2026-02-15 β so go forth, return those terminal names, and slay πππ
