Correction - the closest existing standardized function I had in mind is 
ttyname_r (since on some platforms, ptsname_r can be implemented in 
terms of ttyname_r); especially when comparing ttyname to ttyname_r. 
[Serves me right for typing too fast after waking up ;) ].

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/ttyname_r.html

Upon successful completion, ttyname() shall return a pointer to a 
string. Otherwise, a null pointer shall be returned and errno set to 
indicate the error.

If successful, the ttyname_r() function shall return zero. Otherwise, an 
error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
