Dear man-pages maintainers, I am not sure that this is really bug, but look at this: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/open.2.html open(2) version 2011-09-08 and also look at that: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man4/tty_ioctl.4.html tty_ioctl(4) version 2008-10-29 As it stated in tty_ioctl(4), if a terminal is set into exclusive mode by TIOCEXCL then open fails with EBUSY. It is how it really works on my linux-system. But open(2) says nothing about returning EBUSY, except statement about block devices in O_EXCL section. I was really confused by this situation when I got EBUSY at open() and tried to understand what was happening from open(2) man-page. Is it possible to add a brief note about EBUSY and TIOCEXCL into open(2)? I think it would be helpful for other people. -- With best regards, Matwey V.
