# node-spoTTY
Get the TTY device (e.g., `/dev/pts/3`) of the current node process
## Usage
```javascript
// A clone of the `tty` command
var tty = require('spotty');
tty(function(err, res) {
if (err) {
console.error("Error found: " + err.toString())
} else {
console.log(res)
}
})
```
## Approach
It's an ugly hack, but it should work. The idea is to call `fstat` on
file descriptor 0, and then to call `stat` on all `tty`-like files in dev.
Stop when we find one that matches `fstat(0)`.
## Limitations
Doesn't work on Windows. Should work on OSX and Linux, but needs some
testing. Won't work if fd=0 isn't standard input connected to a TTY.
