DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

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.
