1./dev/tty indicates the control terminal
If the current process has a control terminal (controlling terminal),/dev/tty is the device special file of the control terminal of the current process. You can run the "PS-Ax" command to check which control terminal the process is connected. For the shell you log on to,/dev/tty is the terminal you are using, and the device number is (5, 0 ). Run the "tty" command to check which actual terminal device it corresponds.
[Email protected]:/dev # echo "test">/dev/tty
Test (output test)
The control terminal can be a Pseudo Terminal (/dev/pts/*) in xwindows mode or a console virtual terminal (/dev/tty *)
- If (device = mkdev (5, 0 )){
- Tty = get_current_tty ();
- If (! TTY ){
- Mutex_unlock (& tty_mutex );
- Return-enxio;
- }
- Driver = tty_driver_kref_get (tty-> driver );
- Index = tty-> index;
- Filp-> f_flags | = o_nonblock;/* Don't let/dev/tty block */
- /* Noctty = 1 ;*/
- /* Fixme: shocould we take a driver reference? */
- Tty_kref_put (TTY );
- Goto got_driver;
- }
"Driver" corresponds to the driver, and "Index" corresponds to a specific device. We can also see that/dev/tty is similar to a link to the actually used terminal device.
2./dev/tty0 is an alias for the current virtual terminal.
- # Tty (view the current TTY)
- /Dev/tty1
- # Echo "test tty0">/dev/tty0
- Test tty0
The kernel implementation is as follows:
- If (device = mkdev (4, 0 )){
- Extern struct tty_driver * console_driver;
- Driver = tty_driver_kref_get (console_driver );
- Index = fg_console;
- Noctty = 1;
- Goto got_driver;
- }
Shell may often see:>/dev/null 2> & 1
Command results can be defined in the form of %>
/Dev/null indicates an empty device file.
The statement in the title of this article:
1>/dev/null indicates that the standard output is redirected to an empty device file, that is, no information is output to the terminal. In other words, no information is displayed.
2> & 1 next, the standard error output redirection is equivalent to the standard output. Because the standard output has been redirected to the empty device file, the standard error output is also redirected to the empty device file.
