int unlockpt(int fd);
The unlockpt() function unlocks the slave pseudo-terminal device (pty) corresponding to the master pty referred to by fd.
unlockpt() should be called before opening the slave side of a pty.
When successful, unlockpt() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns −1 and sets errno appropriately.
