Gnulib module: ptsname_r
@mindex ptsname_r

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
Mac OS X 10.12, FreeBSD 12.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 7.5, Minix 3.1.8,
AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 1.7.9, mingw,
MSVC 14.
@item
When this function fails, it returns -1 instead of the error code
on some platforms:
macOS 14, FreeBSD 14.0, Android 4.3.
@item
When this function fails with @code{ERANGE}, it stores an empty string as result
on some platforms:
NetBSD 10.0, Solaris 11 OmniOS.
@end itemize

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
When this function fails, it returns 0 and stores an empty string as result
on some platforms:
Cygwin 2.9.
@end itemize

Note: Portable programs should expect to find the error code as the
return value of this function, not as the value of @code{errno}.
This is needed for compatibility with musl libc and with the
forthcoming POSIX Issue 8.
