 Hi,
 
 One slight problem with adding the prototype for ttyname_r() to
 unistd.h...the implementation of ttyname_r() in FreeBSD is
 not POSIX-compliant.
 
 According to:
 http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/ttyname.html
 
 the prototype should be:
 int ttyname_r(int fildes, char *name, size_t namesize);
 
 In src/lib/libc/gen/ttyname.c, we have:
 char *ttyname_r(int fd, char *buf, size_t len);
 
 I don't think it would be a big deal to fix this.
 
 It might be useful to reassign this PR to standards at .
