NAME

vhangup - virtually hangup the current tty  

SYNOPSIS

#include <unistd.h>

int vhangup(void);

vhangup(): _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)  

DESCRIPTION

vhangup() simulates a hangup on the current terminal. This call arranges for other users to have a ``clean'' tty at login time.  

RETURN VALUE

On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.  

ERRORS

EPERM
The calling process has insufficient privilege to call vhangup(); the CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG capability is required.
 

CONFORMING TO

This call is Linux-specific, and should not be used in programs intended to be portable.
