ttyname

ttyname is a small library that lets you get the name of a tty device.

ttyname adds one method (ttyname) that returns the name of the tty device of an IO instance.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "ttyname"

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ttyname

To get the ttyname of the $stdout terminal.

require "ttyname"

name = $stdout.ttyname
puts "Your terminal is #{name}"
