+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

+.SH NAME
+grantpt
+\(em grant access to the slave pseudo-terminal device
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <stdlib.h>
+.P
+int grantpt(int \fIfildes\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIgrantpt\fR()
+function shall change the mode and ownership of the slave pseudo-terminal
+device associated with its master pseudo-terminal counterpart. The
+.IR fildes
+argument is a file descriptor that refers to a master
+pseudo-terminal device. The user ID of the slave shall be set to the real
+UID of the calling process and the group ID shall be set to an unspecified
+group ID. The permission mode of the slave pseudo-terminal shall be set to
+readable and writable by the owner, and writable by the group.
+.P
+The behavior of the
+\fIgrantpt\fR()
+function is unspecified if the application has installed a signal
+handler to catch SIGCHLD signals.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion,
+\fIgrantpt\fR()
+shall return 0; otherwise, it shall return \(mi1 and set
+.IR errno
+to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIgrantpt\fR()
+function may fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EBADF
+The
+.IR fildes
+argument is not a valid open file descriptor.
+.TP
+.BR EINVAL
+The
+.IR fildes
+argument is not associated with a master pseudo-terminal device.
+.TP
+.BR EACCES
+The corresponding slave pseudo-terminal device could not be accessed.
