+.SH NAME
+grantpt \- grant access to the slave pseudo-terminal device
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+int grantpt(int\fP \fIfildes\fP\fB); \fP
+\fB

+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIgrantpt\fP() function shall change the mode and ownership of
+the slave pseudo-terminal device associated with its master
+pseudo-terminal counterpart. The \fIfildes\fP 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.
+.LP
+The behavior of the \fIgrantpt\fP() function is unspecified if the
+application has installed a signal handler to catch SIGCHLD
+signals.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIgrantpt\fP() shall return 0; otherwise,
+it shall return -1 and set \fIerrno\fP to indicate the
+error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+The \fIgrantpt\fP() function may fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EBADF
+The \fIfildes\fP argument is not a valid open file descriptor.
+.TP 7
+.B EINVAL
+The \fIfildes\fP argument is not associated with a master pseudo-terminal
+device.
+.TP 7
+.B EACCES
+The corresponding slave pseudo-terminal device could not be accessed.
