On any of Linux, MacOS, Solaris, NetBSD, OpenBSD: $ ls /dev/tty /dev/ctty ls: /dev/ctty: No such file or directory /dev/tty Lord only knows why FreeBSD has both. Unlike Linux, they don't supply a man page. On a Linux system, "man 4 tty" is useful. On a Solaris system, "man -s 7d tty" is useful.
On System V, /dev/ctty is the primary console device (meaning that unlike /dev/console, it cannot be redirected.)
